Recently, the Vancouver politicians have decided to have communal dining tables in some restaurants. Basically, there is a long table that you sit down in if you ever wanted to make new friends. This all started when there was a poll taken in Vancouver. One third of Metro Vancouver residents found that it was hard to make friends in this city. All of this was to make new friends. So, is it worth it?
Citizens who didn't like this idea argue that there isn't any point in doing this. Most people go into restaurants with people they are already close and familiar with, so why bother? The city council didn't need to waste their time with this in the first place. There are many other things to be focusing on instead of people's social skills. A lot of people already make new friends at restaurants without the need of extra help from the city.
Others who approve of this new idea argue back that this is a great way to build social skills. Maybe, for the people with aren't too fond of going outside too much and socializing, can use this new idea to practice. Every few meals they can practice getting used to eating with people and making new friends. Also, a few people like to go to these sort of places and meet new people.
Overall, there are many mixed feelings about this issue. Before it comes to Surrey, there should be a poll taken in Vancouver to see whether the people like the communal dining tables. If they like it then we should try it slowly, restaurant by restaurant, and see the results. The idea itself is a good idea, but many restaurants already have the idea of making new friends with complete strangers at tables and the city shouldn't get too involved.

Great job Arianna. Your post was really easy to read and to understand. One thing to improve is to add some photo's to make the visual better for readers, but overall it think it was really good!
ReplyDeleteI really like how you explained reasons why people liked it and why people don't. I think your paragraphs could be a little longer though. But i liked also that your paragraphs were easy to understand and read clearly. Other than that the only thing i think you could have done better also was making your personal opinion more clearer because i can't really tell what you thought of it. Good job(:
ReplyDeleteI really like your introduction Arianna, it really explains what you're going to talk about. In the second paragraph, I think you could've explain more of what your talking about so that other people can have a clear understanding on what your trying to say. Arianna, you should give your opinion about the Communal Dining. Overall good job.
