Nowadays, there are more people than prefer camping holidays instead of hotel holidays. Nevertheless, it's clear that both types of holidays have advantages and disadvantages.
On one hand, staying in a campsite is very relaxing and healthy. In addition, you are in contact with the nature and you mustn't spend too much money.
On the other hand, this type of holidays not only have good things. For example, you count on the weather and you haven't got much personal space. We should also remember that there are a lot of insects and maybe exotic and dangerous animals like snakes.
To sum up, I would say that hotel holidays can be really fun, but definitely, if you are an adventurous person, staying in a camping for one or two weeks will be absolutely fantastic!

Advantages and disadvantages of fast food.
Nowadays, there are a lot of people that prefer fast food instead of a salad or a stick. However, this type of food have advantages and disadvantages.
On one hand, it´s clear that eating fast food is cheaper than going to a good restaurant. So, for example, if you haven't got too much money and you don't want to eat at home, you´ll be allowed to go to Mcdonals' or another fast food restaurant and having a dinner in a few time. In addition, you can eat it wherever you want.
On the other hand, there are some disadvantages. One of them is the quality of the food, which is better and healthier in a "normal" restaurant, where also you can choose between more menus. Moreover, eating too many hamburguers or pizzas could make you get fat.
In conclusion, I would say that fast food is worse than healthy food. However, I believe it is also fantastic to eat everything.

'Online shopping is better than high street shopping'
There are a lot of companies that have an online website where you can buy their articles. In my opinion, create this Internet pages can increase the sales of a shop, but i personally prefer not buy online. So, i disagree with the statement.
On the one hand, it is clear that go to the shop give you a lot of advantages. One of them is, for example, that you can try on clothing or shoes. Moreover, you can see the quality of the product that maybe, you are going to buy.
However, on the other hand, buy online technological systems like computers or TVs are often better than buy it in a shop because of the sale price, which it's cheaper on the Internet.
In conclusion, i normally prefer high street shopping where the seller can give you some advices although, on special occasions are more comfortable and less expensive buy the article at the store.
