I grew up in a small town in New Hampshire,where in my father’s words the four seasons were “Spring,Summer,Fair time and Winter!”At that time,a week-long fair was held in the town every autumn.Thousands of people from other towns came to sell and buy things.It was the busiest time of the year.

What I often did at home was to help Grandma with the daily newspaper’s crossword puzzle.However,she didn’t look happy.She often sat in her room for hours,without saying a word.
To attract people to move back,the Town Hall decided to reopen the fair.One day,when I came back from school,I saw Grandma wearing her glasses,washing the dishes in the kitchen.With a big smile on her face,she looked a lot much younger.She told me that her two nieces(侄女) would come.“They said the food I cooked was very delicious and they want to stay in my house again,”Grandma said happily.“They will stay here for one week and we can have a big party.That must be the busiest week I’ve had in years!”

Have you ever spent too long discussing with people which restaurant to eat in or when to meet If eating alone, you can make the choice depending on what you want to eat at that moment and get your nourishment(营养) at exactly the time you’re hungry!

Finally, for some, eating alone can be a necessity.Some people can’t stand the noise of someone else eating.If you eat alone, you don’t need to worry about the noise.So, is eating alone bad Well, it may not be for everyone, but there certainly are some advantages to it.Try it sometime—you might just like it!

Many people think eating with friends or loved ones can be a wonderful experience.However, some of us often find ourselves reserving(预订) a table for one in a restaurant.But is eating alone really bad Maybe not.
We all have foods we like and dislike.When eating alone, we can choose what we like.Also, we might be able to eat more healthily.Often, if you want a salad and the one who is going to dine with you wants some less healthy food, you end up ordering the same.And if you don’t get the same, you might not feel happy as you watch someone have a pizza while you’re left holding the lettuce.
Have you ever spent too long discussing with people which restaurant to eat in or when to meet If eating alone, you can make the choice depending on what you want to eat at that moment and get your nourishment(营养) at exactly the time you’re hungry! And why does have to be a restaurant You could eat in a park, garden or even your bed—the point is, the choice is yours!
