Eating has become one of kinds of culture for centuries. Today people are interested in not only what and how they eat but also where they eat. Some people prefer to eat at food stands or restaurants. Other people like preparing and eating at home. In my opinion, I w-ould rather eat at home than at restaurants.

People want to eat at restaurants because of three reasons. Firstly, they will have a chance to enjoy a variety of food. Everyone has different favorite dishes and restaurants may satisfy all tastes of its customers. Secondly, sometimes people go to restaurants so that they have a private space to discuss something. Many people think that it is easier to do a business when they eat and negotiate at the same time. In fact, a number of negotiations take place successfully at restaurants. Thirdly, someone says that it takes a lot of time to cook at home. Therefore, they prefer to eat at food stands in order to save time.

However, many other people prefer to eat at home. This is because eating at home is much cheaper than eating at restaurants. Instead of spending money for expensive meals at a restaurant, people can prepare for a meal and save lots of money for other purposes. One friend of mine likes reading very much. She always cooks and eats at home to spend more money buying books. In addition, some people like cooking and they want to prepare for a meal by themselves. So as, they do not want to go out for a lunch or dinner at restaurants. Other people choose to eat at home just because they would like to spend time with their families. While having dinner at home, for example, they can share their happiness and troubles in jobs with their folks or even talk about a television program they like best.

I think that whether people eat at a restaurant or at home, the most important thing is whether they feel comfortable or not. However, if I have to choose, I will eat at home because it is a way to save my money and above all, I can have a good time with my family.

Some people say they prefer eating at restaurants to eating at home because they think they can save time spending to cook meal to do other things. However, in my view, I prefer to eat at home. For the following reasons I have three reasons explain why I think this way. First, eating at home helps you save money. Second, hardly any restaurants sever foods as healthy as those you prepare at home. Third, eating at home helps us have chances to get close to our family.

The first reason is that I can save money when eating at home. When you go to a restaurant and order dishes, look at the price on the menu and do a small calculation, you can see the price in the restaurant is at least twice higher than those you cook at home. Beside they are not delicious as food you cook at home. For example, the fried rice I order in restaurants have the price equal to those I spend to by material and make enough fried rice for the whole family. This explains for my first reason – eating at home help, you save money.

The second reason is that the food you prepare at home is healthier than those which are severed in restaurants. Compared with the soup you order at restaurants, the other one you make at home is healthier and more hygienic. For example, the soup I cook at home have more vegetables, meat, eggs, crabs, etc while those at restaurants just have little meat, crabs and vegetable, which is not enough nutrition for a person.

Third, the eating time with family is importance. It helps the family get closer. Imagine the scene of a family with mother and children cooking dinner together at weekend. They are cooking and telling the other person about their day at school or at work. Children learn how to make their favorite dishes. Father helps prepare the table and tell a joke to make the whole family laugh and bring the happy atmosphere to their house. This is one of the points that makes the house become home.

In conclusion, I prefer eating at home to eating at restaurants because of the reasons mentioned above.

  Nowadays, some people like to eat at home and prepare food by themselves but others prefer to eat outside in restaurants or at food stands. As far as I am concerned, I prefer to eat at home. 

Of course there are some advantages to eat out. Firstly, restaurants offer a more comfortable environment to eat and the food there tastes more delicious than home-cooked meals. In addition, eating at restaurants is a good way of getting together with friends. People also don't need to worry about washing dishes and clearing. For people who are busy to cook, eating out is certainly an ideal choice. Furthermore, for people don't know how to cook and don't have someone to cook for them, eat out seems to be the only choice.

However, I prefer to cook and eat at home. The main reason is that at home family members can prepare their meals and enjoying their food together, which can enhance their relationships. Family members can talk, make jokes and exchange feelings on current affairs with each other while preparing a meal. Parents have a chance to communicate with their kids and keep track of what they are thinking and doing; while children can learn to help with some household tasks and develop intimacy with their parents. Imagine that you and your brothers and sisters help your mother to cook on weekend, and enjoy the food later on, and you feel everything is so nice.

Another reason is that eating at home can save money. The same amount of money that you spend on a meal in restaurants can buy a lot of more foods from supermarket. You can use the money saved to buy a new cloth, or attend a concert.

General speaking, eating out side is comfortable and convenient, but eating at home has more benefits. I prefer to eat at home.
