<< I think my answer depends on case by case. As I live alone at home, I usually eat food at a restaurant. If I try to prepare my dinner by myself, it will cost two times as much as eating at a restaurant. When I cooked my supper every day, I spent 1,000 yen at a time. But I can eat my dinner for 500 yen at a restaurant. But I think if I live with my family, it will better to eat at home. And as I have stated above, that also depends on its case. That is, if my family must celebrate something on a special day, we will go out for dinner. So I have said it depends on case by case. But if I must decide whether I prefer eating at a restaurant or at home, I will answer I want to eat at home. I like eating at home because we can eat in a relaxed state. If we eat at some restaurant, we must pay attention to other customers. Because if we laugh loudly, the noise may disturb the mood of the neighboring tables. Even more, a waiter or a waitress at the restaurant may ask us not to make a noise. So if we eat dinner at home, we can enjoy our time to the full. On the other hand, when it comes to the taste of the dinner, my answer may be different. Because my mother can not cook same as a professional cook. So I must admit the taste of the dinner is good if we eat dinner at a restaurat. Especially, it comes to Chinese restaurant, I must admit eating at a restaurant is much better. Because I think Chinese foods can not be made at home as professional cooks do. It is often said that Chinese dishes have history of for more than 4,000 years. And I also think Chinese foods are the best all over the world. When we hold a party with our friends, we often go to the house of one of us. Because, if we hold a party at a restaurant, it will cost so much. But if we gather at someone's home with everyone taking some foods, it does not cost so much. As we often hold party, we don't want to spend so much money each time. But if we hold a special party to celebrate something or on a special day, we go to one of our favorite restaurants and have a party. Especially, when we want to drink alchol or beer so much, we go to a restaurant which can offer much drinks at a low cost. We hold such parties especially when our examination is over. At such a time, we can feel extremely comfortable and by doing so, we can refresh our depressive moods.
