IELTS essay - writing task 2 Many people say that cooking and eating at home is better for the individual and family that eating out in restaurants or canteens. Do you agree or disagree? Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge or experience. Nowadays, a lot of people prefer to eat outside. However, some people think that home cooking and eating is better than restaurants or canteens and I do agree with this opinion. This essay will discuss some of the reasons of my point of view. To begin with, we a re living in a frenetic world, always in the rush, so it is easier and faster eating out in restaurants, where it is possible to have a meal, waiting just a little time, with no need to go back home and spend longer time to prepare and cook the food. In this way, we can safe time and be back again to work quickly without risks to be late. This option has not only good aspects, but there are also some drawbacks. For instance, eating outside is usually more expensive than home and in addition canteens' food is quite unhealthy or less unhealthy than the one done at home. In sharp contrast to this, cooking and eating at home, even though it takes more time, in my opinion is the best way to eat and enjoy food. Firstly and foremost, we can choose and buy the most fresh products, selecting the provenance and all the feature we prefer. Then, we are free to cook all the ingredients in the healthiest way we know, even customizing the receipt. Secondarily home made dishes are very often cheaper than the restaurants and in something way we might say that they can be also the result of our creative process. In conclusion, I believe that home made food is undoubtedly better, because healthier than the food which can be eaten in restaurants and similar places. Furthermore, eating in our own houses with our family or our friends makes this moment spacial as a good opportunity to share our individual life with other people.
