Please check this sentence for me

Is this entence good sentence structure?: "The first reason that I think we should have longer lunch periods is because we need time to socialize with our friends." It seems like the use of "because" is awkward.

You are right. Generally, you use either "the reason that" or "because" but not both. We should have longer lunch periods because that would allow us more time to socialize.
