If you say that a task was "plain sailing" then it's easy to complete. You didn't have any difficulty doing it. Of course, you could also say that a task was not plain sailing, meaning that it was a bit of a challenge!

These two words are often confused. Some words in the English language have similar uses, but different meanings. "As" and "like" are two of those words. When studying English grammar, you must be able to understand how to use these words in a proper way. Don't forget to take a test after listening!

北海道Hokkaido生活 for Japanese learners

〈#181〉　冬に逆戻り？雪が降ったよ！

If you see someone sitting alone in a restaurant, you might assume they're waiting for someone, or perhaps they're grabbing a quick lunch on their break.

But more and more people around the world are purposely dining alone.

Japan has a special word for this: ohitorisama, which refers to people confidently doing things alone without worrying about what others think.

A recent survey found that 23% of Japanese people eat out alone, up from 18% in 2018. And in the US, solo dining reservations have risen 29% over the last two years, according to restaurant reservation site OpenTable.

OpenTable CEO Debby Soo thinks remote work is one reason for the increase, with people looking for a break from their home offices.

The increasing popularity in solo dining comes as more people are living alone. In 2019, the Pew Research Center found that 38% of US adults ages 25 to 54 were living without a partner, up from 29% in 1990. In Japan, single households now make up one-third of the total; that’s expected to increase to 40% by 2040, according to government data.

Growing interest in solo travel — particularly among travelers ages 55 and over — is also leading to more meals alone.

But Soo thinks there could be more to it than that.

"I think there's a broader movement of self-love and self-care and really … enjoying your own company," Soo said.

As a result, many restaurants are redoing their seating, changing their menus and adding other special touches to appeal to solo diners.

But some aren't always happy to seat one diner. A Michelin-starred London restaurant caused a stir last year when it started charging solo diners the same price as two customers. The restaurant, which has 34 seats, offers an eight-course menu costing about $280 per person.

Other restaurants say it's worth seating one person because solo diners will often come back and eat there again.

Party of One: Solo Dining Increasing in Popularity

近所にコミュニティーカフェがあります。「ふらっとサロン」といいます。のみものは　ひとつ100円。安いでしょう？だから、毎日来るお客さんもいます。私は2週間に1回、働きに行きますが、お金はもらいません。ボランティアです。きっさ店とちがうのは、みんな、だれかと話したくて来る店だというところです。まだ、マスクは必要ですが、最近忙しくなりました。さて、どんなお客さんが来るのでしょうか。
