Question

  Eating habits are different in many countries. The Chinese have a saying ,‘‘ Eat good things for breakfast,eat a big meal for lunch,but eat less at dinner. ”Many Americans agree that one should start the day with a good breakfast,but their ideas about lunch and dinner are different.

    Most Americans only give themselves a short time for lunch. So they eat a small meal. After work they will have more time to eat a big dinner. Also a quiet dinner at home with all the family members talking about their day is a way to rest after a long,hard day of work.

    Eating at a restaurant is also different. In China,people like to talk and laugh while eating. Very often you can hear people talking and laughing loudly,and they are just having a good time. In America it is not like this. People want a quiet place where they can eat a good meal far away from the noise of the outside world. If some people are talking too loudly,the manager may come out and ask them to leave.
