If you are a university student, you probably spend a lot of time on campus. You go to classes. You go to the library. Maybe, you also live in a dorm. If you live in a dorm, where do you eat?

Most universities have a cafeteria so students can eat breakfast, lunch, and dinner for very little money. Some people think cafeteria food is highly-processed and disgusting. But universities want to make the food healthy and interesting. Can they do it?

  Yes. I ever was a university student and lived in the dorm. But that were many years ago.



  Yes. I had eaten at the cafeteria for about four years through whole my university living.



  I liked that living during  that period. The food was very cheap and convenient at the cafeteria. But I thought some of that were also delicious.



   I eaten a egg and a bowl of gruel and a piece of pie at breakfast; eaten one or two fried dishes and one steamed bread at lunch; eaten the same at dinner or some time noodle.



   When my friends or my fellow-townsmen who were not at the same school came to see me, we all dorm went out to eat a big meal which we called it improving our living.



   Oh, so happy the university living ,though, it had been past so many years, when I remembered it I still was moved.
