Today, we have little time to communicate with family. And this situation leads many problems such as communication gap or lack of basic etiquette. I am convinced that having a dinner time with family member on a regular basis will demonstrate solutions. There are two reasons why I feel this way. One reason for my argument is that it is good for children’s education. The other reason is that it enhances the relationship between family members.
First of all, by eating meals with family member regularly we can have a positive effect on children’s education. For example, when I was young, my father maintained a rule that we have to eat dinner as far as we had not enough reason had not to eat together. So until I entered the secondary school, my family frequently had a dinner together. And while had a dinner I leaned table manners; for instance, my father always told me not to talk with food in mouth. When I grew up, this habit helps me make friends and do social activities. As a result this educational family activity helps children become well mannered person.
Moreover, having a dinner time with family member can reinforce the bond among family members because there are more chances to talk with family. Today, the number of working parents in on the increase, and further more children are busy studying or doing other extracurricular activities to enter a high rank college. So there is little time to communicate with family. However while eating together, they can talk about their problems and get advice from other family members. Since they are family, they will sincerely counsel other family member who has problems. As a result this time that enables families to communicate with each other in a busy life helps families to improve family ties.
In conclusion, for the above reasons, I strongly agree with the statement that spending time eating meals with family regularly is very significant. |
