贵州省黔东南苗族侗族自治州从江县停洞中学2024年中考一模英语试题
When you visit a restaurant, you may see some people eating on their own. In the past, these people might feel embarrassed about eating alone, because this might show that they had no friends or disliked making friends with others. However, that's changing.
According to a new survey of an American company, the adult eats six meals alone each week and 387 meals each year on average. That means eating alone is a new fashion. In China, eating alone is also growing in popularity.
It is true that when people choose to eat with other people, they must be affected by the diners who are with them. If the diners share similar habits, they are lucky and can enjoy a good meal. If not, they must deal with the embarrassing experience of bad table manners, and boring conversations. So eating alone can help people get away from bad dinner dates, embarrassing groups and boring conversations and let them enjoy the personal experience. Wang Kerui, a freshman from Beijing Normal University , is a good example. "Eating alone doesn't mean I'm lonely. Instead, it can help me enjoy 'me-time' and think about the challenges I have met in my studies," she told TEENS.
Eating alone also shows that young people pay more attention to realizing their dreams and looking for a higher quality of life. Now, many young people with fixed incomes(固定收入) are beginning to re-examine their roles in society. Zhao Lianxue, 28, a media worker, says she enjoys her life alone. Without the task of cooking for a family, Zhao often eats alone in restaurants. In her spare time, she can read her favorite books, listen to music, go sightseeing or shopping. It's not hard to see that eating alone for many young people. It doesn't mean they feel lonely. It is more about freedom and independence.
