There are a lot of variations of food. Also a lot of locations where you can eat it. Furthermore you can eat cheap or expensive. It is very interesting to study the eating habits of the people. Eat at restaurant and at home have both their advantages and disadvantages. But first, I will tell which I prefer.

Well, I think that I prefer slightly going out to eat. I love to go out and eat tasty meals. There is a big range of different restaurant you can choose. Domestic, Asian, Indian, European, African, American and so on. It is thrilling for me to try a meal, which is so far unfamiliar for me and also not possible to cook it on my own. On the other hand, I really like it to cook on my own. When you cook on your own, you can choose and decide on your own what you do in the pan. Also you will know exactly what is in your meal, on the other hand in a restaurant you might have no clue what is all in your meal. Is everything in your meal hygienic and hygienic in the kitchen too?

Obviusly it is just a financial reason that I am not eating in restaurant and food stands everyday. But it might be better, that you have to cook on your own. Everyone should be able to cook for himself and clean after too. And mostly it is healthier when you cook at home.

Food is my life. Before I am came to England, the only food I know was Indonesian food. But now alot of variety food I know.
A lot of I learn in England, one thing is about food. wich we can eat at home, restaurant or take away. Overall they have advantages and disadvantages.

Disadvantages eat at home is we have to shop the ingredian and prepare it olso we have to cook it as well, wich it will take all our time. In other hand advantages is we can eat and sit down together with our family in dinning room and we can enjoy our food wich in the same time we can have conversation. olso we can chose what we cook and what ingredian we want. olso cheaper. The other hand eating at restaurant is we have to spent plenty money and it can be the food not very nice and olso advantages is we don't have to to cook it.

Over all my view is home made food is the bhess and healther olso cheapper. And made us gather together with all our family and friends.

Thers a considerable controversy about whether people like to eat at
home or to go to resturant. To me, I hold the veiw point that people
prefere eating at resturant are wasting time and mony. more than that,the type of food being prepared at market is believed to be unhealthy one
. As a matter of fact, nowadays eating at resturant c an be hardly dangerous to our body. The risk might be obtained by taking meals outside home is represents in the low quality and the way food are kooked. For example, some resturants dealing with type of food resources which could be out of date, in addition to that, they are using more fats and additives to enhance the taste withuot considering the side effect of these materials to the human body
Furthermore, the risk can be occured from eating out side home is obvious, include many diseases like heard diseases, indigestive disorder and all types of ulcers. At the same time people are wasting their time by waiting in a queue to obtain an order from resturant. Nevertheless, the majority go to take food outside home specially young people who are preferimg fast food and ready meal at resturants. Interestingly, resturants pay huge amount of mony for rent and taxes, sothat, custumers would be affected
by increasing in the cost of food. However, many of them still have
been attracted by eating at resturants. In contrast, to prepre food at home is necessary and considered to be more healthy, families at home can be making high standard of food quality and using fesh oil with minimum quantity of fats. Additionally, they save mony and spend less
time to prepare fresh meals. As a result of that, people are less
likely to be exposed to diseases and disorders.
To conclude, I personally believe that, eating at home has more advantages than go to resturant by saving mony and time, and keep our body fit and healthy.

My comment regarding what Sunarmi has written is that the general idea is not clear, also the writer did not give his opinion in the first paragraph. Moreover, there are significant gramatical mistakes for instance, befor Iam came, a lot of I learn in England, eat at home is we have to shop and so on. Also, the text is not cohasive or homogenious with each other and the idea is not clear. Finally, the structure of the sentnces is incorrect and the number of the words is far below the recommended level. With more practice you can enhance your writing and good luck.
your class-mate,

There are restaurants and there are take aways in every conner of every street all over this nation nowadays.Some of these places their food is so cheap,almost as if the're giving it away,on the other hand, some of these food places are really expensive, restaurants mostly.So it all depends on whether you can afford it or not. As for me, i prefer my own cooking.I like to buy fresh food and make sure it's washed and cooked very well,i also like to know what sort of ingrediants are in. Don't get me wrong,some of these restaurants and take aways, their food is absolutely top notch,i've been to some of Chinese and Indian take aways,their food tasted glorious i must say.But for me, nomater how taste the food is out there, my cooking is always taste better, espesially when it comes to food like meats, i become very fuss to whether has it been washed or not,because sometimes i go to the butchers to buy chicken and most of the times it will be covered in small feathers which i have to come home and clean it properly.So little things like that makes me thnk twise before i can buy take away or go to a restaurant.Furthermore, most take aways food is very unhealth,beacause 98ed per cent of thier food is fried food, which is not good for our well being.So as for me,home cooked food is the best food.

Nowadays,with the resounding spread of supermarkets and stands in urban life,people will rely on fast foods increasingly.Furthermore,employed people do not have spare time to spend in the kitchen. I personally prefer to prepare my favourite food at home prior to eat out. There are many advantages in home made food which is not found in ready meals.Most restaurants and takeaways use loads of cans and pre-packaged food in their food,in contrast to home made meals,which is prepared with organic and fresh ingredients.
Another considerable factor is the high amount of fat that is considered in fast foods.The huge fryers is utilised to cook,unfortunately,as a result,the oil is re used often.researches has proved people who eat ready meals is more confronted with serious problems,such as,heart attacks or diabetics decease's. Moreover,there are also enormous difference in expenses.Eating in restaurants is so costly,in comparison to eating at home which is prepared with reasonable costs. Additionally,with making food at home,the members of family meet each other and undoubtedly,this feature will improve the intimacy between them. To conclude,if we have a realistic view,eating in stands and restaurants is inevitable,but,if we consider the privileges of home made foods, without any hesitation,we would have the healthier life.

Going out to eat frequently, accompanied for your partner or friends, is synonym of modern life. But to permit it we also need to have a good economical position.

Every time new restaurants coming out with different types of food and also different level of luxury, what will determinate the cost of our going out bill.

Eating in a restaurant or buying food to go is always the best option but is not the more convenient to our pocket because for example: with the same money that we can spent in a dinner for two in a restaurant, we could buy food enough in market for one or two weeks, even though it would need to be prepared.

To cook at home has more advantages that only saving money. So in the kitchen, you can mix ingredients, savours, etc, moreover in home you do not have to wait for a table, what sometimes in a restaurant takes long time. We should also take in consideration about the affective benefits that cooking in family produce.

To eat at home or out, is up to each person, the only thing that everyone needs to do is watch their finances and if somebody can go out often, is good for him. And for the people that cannot permit it, would be better to start thinking in some cooking course.

people in all countries have a different opinon about a dinner and eating food.Some persons like a fast food but arrangement food at home is much better by other individuals.I think, cooking nourishment indoor is more healther than the other.
On the one hand,eating or buying food at a resturant or takeaway require to alarger amount of money ,it is less healther and might be some where are not used good conditional food or expiered material which are danger human body for instance:that oil which is used for ferrying potato chips does not change every day and most time is been cooler and reheated again.Nowaday , more research shows that oil causes a main reason for a cancer .
Also preparation food at home needs to time for cooking and buying all requirements and spend more electricity.
On the other hand, consume fastfood by people not to spend lot of time,nearly by (15 or 20 mins) can deliver and eat and it is ready all time with more delicious and vary taste.
Althoug arrangment meals at home is being-well ,it is necessary a lot of time for preparation.
From my view,making and preparation fare at recidence prefer than food at food stand and has more advantage than preparing retrefreshment.

They are some people think carefully about to go eat out like restaurent. Some could be because their culture or background. Special their way are grew up. It is very difficult for them to eat the food they did prepared themselves.

To me, I prefer to cook it on my own and to eat at home. I like to cook because it is a part of my hobby. Since I was a little girl, my mother taught how to cook also I am allergy for some food. At the weekend, I could spend seven or Eight hours, in the kitchen just for cooking a different variety of food. For all those times I never complaits because I enjoy it.

However, to eat at home, it 90% to decrease the risk to get some diseases. When you cook, it is yourself to make sure you are eating a good quality not quantity and also healthy food it is very important in our dialy life. Not just eating for survive.

In my point view, to eat at home have more advantages than eating in restaurant because you can eat healthy and fresh meals. Also save money, time, and avoid to catch some illness. You can sit down as family enjoy your meals.

Desadvantage eat to restaurant, it is more risk to develop many disease. Nevertheless, people could eat better food and spend more money to not be satisfact for thier meals.It is why some people still believe that, eat to the restaurant it is healthy and fresh food but they are forgot about hygiene. So I prefere to prepare and eat food at hame.

Different people have different eating habits, some people prefer to eat at food stands or restaurants others prefer to eat at home, for me I prefer to prepare food at home at eat it with my family as home made food have so many advantages than eating at restaurants .we can use fresh food and organic ingredients and up to date food. It is healthier, we can add any taste we like and it is more hygienic. Eating at home is cheaper than eating at restaurants for example for that amount of money we spend at restaurants per one person we can cook for two or three people at home for the same money. Home made food give the family opportunity to build a good relationship between them and help to develop intimacy. However eating outside might be appropriate for some people especially those who are employee; It is more convenient for them to eat at restaurants as they don’t have enough time to spend in cooking.
Eating at restaurants is unhealthy because to cook the food they usually use frying method and use more oil, they don’t use fresh oil and they reheat it. They use ready and frozen food and this is certainly bad for our health and affects so many diseases. They don’t care about separate row meat and cooked meat which is very important to avoid cross contamination. Further more eating in the restaurants is waste time because we have to wait for the place and service to eat whereas preparing food at home takes less time. Another disadvantage of eating at restaurants we pay lots of money for the meals and we sometimes might be unsatisfied.
In my point of view if you like to protect yourself from illness and keep healthy so preparing meals at home is a better option for you .it help you to avoid from another huge problem which is obesity. Don’t forget your body and health is what you eat and drink.

In my point of view we have to accept the changes considering the reality in job markets. There are lots of challenges we are facing nowadays, for instance jobs markets has fallen rapidly in the last past years, no work available for young educated people, they need money in order to make a living.
Older people have contributed a lot to the community and society and they has achieved their goals. Why don’t they put their feet down and enjoy the fruit of their labour. They have to consider leaving work for young people who are out of job. If you are living with your own kids who have finished their education and not working and you are in retirement age, won’t you look back at what you have done with your life? The answer is you will definitely, and want them to be successful. The only option you have is to retire and wish all who has same age as you to do the same. We need to think hard and open our eyes to see the reality and put everything into consideration. Some are concerned about staying fit as work is the only source of excise they have. There are other activities they can do on their own pace without any hassle such as walking the dog, gardening and doing house work.
If the situation was different I was going to be in agreement with those who want to exceed retirement age.

Food is important substances in human life which keep the body with energy. Due to the significantly rise of prices of food items, this has led most people to enjoy fast food. Others prefer it because it does not fetch time and you can get your order at exact time as you want. Also there is no need to worry about washing dishes. Actually I know that eating at the restaurant gives you opportunity to enjoy different ethnic foods as well as enhancing your social life to grow.
But in my opinion I like preparing my own dishes as this might prevent me from accidental eating of things I may be allergic to. Cooking your own meal prevent you from food poisoning because everything that you use is hygienic for example the ingredients as well as the cooking utensils are thoroughly cleaned before used. In addition to that you can get the exact taste as you want and the quality of the food stuffs especially fresh vegetables, and meat or fish which desire your appetite.
Another reason why I strongly believe in my own cooking is that I am in control of all the ingredients particularly those which can lead the body to become prone to certain medical conditions. For instance, sodium chloride, fats, carbohydrates, and expired frozen foods which can lead to obesity, hypertension and diabetes.
Finally, the cost involved in cooking your own meals is not ridiculously expensive as those found in restaurants even though their presentation always looks appealing to the eye. It is easier to preserve the leftovers from your own cooking, while the health of the family is enhanced.

Obesity is a leading preventable cause of death worldwide, and authorities view it as one of the most serious public health problems. Where ever you go there are restaurants, and food stands where they sell cheap tasty food but unhealthy. They use lot of fat and salt which are not good for your heart.

In order to maintain good health diet I prefer to cook and eat at home. I like to cook traditional food which I can’t get anywhere else. I do eat out only in special occasions such as birthday celebrations and wedding ceremonies. There is other thing which concerns me, for example I watched a TV program called desperate midwives. It was about giving birth. There was a lady who gave birth that day and the midwife was asking the lady if she is taking the placenta home to cook it. I have special recipe she said, eating placenta will reduce the risk of post natal depression. This is because the organ is rich in minerals, particularly b6, which can help to fight depression. I was absolutely shocked how you can eat the part of your body. Since that day I had a wired imagination of what goes in food.

Home cooked food is the best for me and I can use the recommended amount of fat and salt rather than eating junkie food.

Well, I prefer to prepare and eat at home with my family and enjoy it. Cause nowadays, there are not healthy and hygienic food outside. It true that the foods of outside are very cheaper and tasty. The thing is that people always forget to think twist before eating it. If the food are healthier for their bodies or hygienic.
Well to be honest, it true that I am one of those people. Who used to buy different type of foods outside? It just because I was in the rush to be on time and this happened. Therefore, one day I was in college canteen and on that day, I have decided to buy a food there. When I started to eat the food, which was pasta and I was about to finish it. I mean the food was in the middle of the cup and I saw ‘‘human hair’’ inside of the food. When I saw that, I was much-shorted .So I went back there and they gave me my money back. When I told my friend ‘‘about that’’. She said to me ‘‘I was about to tell you before you will go there’’ that to not go because one day I saw an ant into my food there as well. Since that day, I decided to be careful at any food that I eat. That is why I prefer to cook and eat at home because house or hygienic food are the best healthier food and hygienic.

Food is our's life essential. There are variety of choice for people to choose depends how their mind thinking and their life style are. For me,I like to cook by myself more than eating outdoor but I still will take occasion with my family a dinner at restaurant. Of course,homemade dishes are better because we're buy food stuff from supermarket and it's rather cheaper than we consumer in restaurant.
In the mean while, we also save lots of money if we are a large member family. However, dining at home is definitely healthy and hygiene whereas affects your personal healthy if often dining at restaurant.
In my opinion, the main reason people likes to custom restaurant or eating at food stand because of they're prefer to taste others country dishes. Apart from this motive, they're
tend to learn about these country cultural and
custom through their diets. Some people may wants to relax from their tiredness work.

Overall, I'm really keen to cook for my family and it is save money than you spend large expenses in dining outside. Eating healthy is a vey important issue to maintain our body strong.

I prefer prepare and eat my food at home mostly with all family together .
Firstly when the lades cook the result is incomparable it is always delicious ,although , some men cook very well . It is suitable when you have a time to cook your own meal, In your home feeding become special without anything important , just put specific ingredients and necessary time to cook well .
However that is happen more in Africa than other countries .
In my country have one idiom " woman takes man by belly " means:if she cooks well , man never leave her . Nevertheless this situation does not eventuate always . In UK woman does not care about cook to family , some of than because works outside and not leftover time to cook and other by negligence .
Then they refuge in restaurant , where kitchen is sometimes dirty , no properly and did rapidly .
In case of some special occasion like celebrate why not? The problem is when is become frequently , outside your control not forgetting how bad fast food , take away and other restaurants can cause in your health . Take a time cook in correct way. I believe you will see great results and how might contribute for your heath .

Firstly, without forgetting to answer the question above, in general everyone knows that each person has their own preference. Well preferably I usually prepare and eat my food, is cheaper, can use a lot of ingredients and is healthier which is great to have my diet under control.

On the other hand, the idea of going out to eat at restaurants or food stands may bond the useful and enjoyable, so why not going out to eat once or twice a week?

Nowadays many people work and what makes understandable why they do not have time to cook their own food which takes time. The variety of food is huge and expandable but over time,obviously, causes positive negative effects such as economically and health.

Unfortunately, often when they eat in restaurants the receipt comes stuffed like "Christmas", they do not realize the amount of money they spend only for one meal.
Eating at food stands can bring health problems such as obesity that is increasing year by year, diabetes and heart problems.

However eating at these place may have a positive effect, the knowledge of new flavors, new cultures and new kitchens will increase for those who believe that the discovery of this world are the "tastes" and coax others to enjoy too.

Overall, I am grateful for know how to cook and to appreciate other types of food served at restaurants and food stands.

Food
There are many special kinds of food today.Especially,Chinese food,Indian food,Thai food and Japanese food.
Nowday,most rich people prefer eat food in the restaurant rather than eat food at home,but I prefer eat food at home.
Because I consider if we go to the restaurant we shall spend too much money and waste time.For example,when you want to eat steak and you spend 4 pounds for a package in the market then return back home cook by yourself,you will feel your steak is a absolute fantastic delicious meal,the reason is that meal was cooked by you.Confidence is quiet important to us.Why don't we eat our dinner at home?A lot of people thought food in the restaurant have a higher quality standard.A simple example can explains to these people.Potatoes are purchased from a market,next step is the chef cooled these potatoes and labeled price on the menu wait at you.Finally,you eat these potatoes cost more than 5 pounds.Compare with this situation,if you think carefully you choose eat food at home you might be only spend 2 pounds.
Eating your food at home that is the best place.Keep your life simple and economical are the major subjects.

Some people prefer to eat at food stands or restaurants, while others prefer to prepare and eat food at home. The reason behind this situation can be explained by many different reasons. One of the arguments used to explain this state of affairs is that; nowadays some people are working longer and harder. Nonetheless, others are staying all day at home.

I prefer to prepare and eat food at home. My choice may be justified by different reasons. One of motives for my choice is that; eating frequently at food stands or restaurant might be unhealthy, because we sometimes do not have the information about all of ingredients and the number of calories they contain, even though some restaurants such a Mc Donald’s provide you all the information about the fat in your food. Moreover, it is a fact that when we eat at restaurant, we tend to eat repeatedly our favourite food, and it is essential to vary our diet to make sure that we are not lacking in important food groups. In addition, to eat at restaurants is more expensive than eat at home. Whereas there are food stands which is often cheaper than restaurant but the food could be unhealthier, and that might cause significant problems as obesity. As it turns out, it is one issue throughout the world.

To sum up, eating at home has more advantages than eating at restaurants or other places. It is understandable that some people have to eat outside home because of their time of work, but it is important that they assured they are varying their diet, to have a better health and reduce the number of obesity and other diseases caused by unhealthy diet.
