Sample Answer (The AREA technique):

Answer: Some things that can ruin a dining experience at a restaurant include poor service, bad food, noise, uncomfortable seating, and a dirty or unhygienic environment.

Reason: These factors can negatively impact the overall dining experience, making it less enjoyable and satisfactory.

Example: For instance, if the server is rude or inattentive, it can ruin the mood and make the customer feel unwelcome. Similarly, if the food is undercooked, overcooked, or not as described on the menu, it can be disappointing and frustrating.

Alternative: Other factors that can ruin a dining experience include long wait times, poor ventilation, or unexpected events, such as power outages or pest infestations.
