Eating out is more popular in Britain today than it has ever been. It is reported that British people spend more eating out than cooking for themselves and eating at home. It seems that many British people are becoming more and more interested in how good their food tastes, and also how healthy it is.

However, eating out can also be expensive, so British people do not eat out every night. When having a date with friends, or having a birthday, many people like to go to a restaurant, and people often also eat in a restaurant before going to the cinema or the theater.

As in all cultures, there are many rules of manners about eating. The knife and fork should be used in the correct way. It is also impolite to speak with your mouth full then you are eating.
   Most British cities have a large collection of food as well as British food, from the very cheap to the very expensive—French, Italian, Indian, Chinese, Thai, Japanese and many, many more.

When people are too tired to cook after work, they often get a "takeaway". This means that they order from a take－out restaurant by telephone, and then go to get it. Many take-out restaurants also send it to your house. All you have to do is to open the door, pay and eat!

I think that having a big family is a really good thing. I come from a small family. I only have one brother. He doesn't want to play with me，so I always like the idea of having a big family. I want to have more brothers and sisters. 

Jeyong，South Korea

There are six people in my family: my parents，two sisters，a younger brother and me. When we are all together（一起），we have great fun. We talk and eat delicious food together. I'm never（从不） lonely. So I think big families are great. 

Simon，Canada

I think a small family is better. If you are the only child in the family like me，you' ll get all your parents' love. They do everything for you. But if you live in a family of eight children，you have to share（分享） everything with the other seven children: your parents' love，your toys and even your clothes. 

Different people may have different hobbies. I think hobbies can help us relax and learn more things. I have four good friends. They all have their hobbies.
