Working people are usually very busy or tired
after a day’s work to do cooking. They prefer to eating
out. This saves them a lot of time and trouble. Eating
out is that many people do to solve their meal problems
although it cost a little more than preparing meals by
themselves. And this is not to say that nobody really does
any cooking at all. In the fact, many do. It is just that eating out easier as no preparation is need and no washing
is to be done. Some, however, eat out sometimes
because they may want little change from their
usual, ordinary, home-cooked meal.。
