How important do you think it is for members of a family to eat together?
I have to admit that it’s extremely vital that family members spend their time 
together at the dinner table. The most obvious explanation for this is that it can 
strengthen family bonds and help the whole family get on well with one another. 
To be more specific, during a meal, they can share their stories and trouble in 
life, receive valuable advice to sort out their problem. At the end of the day, 
people can build a happy close-knit family and forget about all the difficulties in 
their life. 
Why do some people not always eat with their family? 
I personally feel that a number of factors are responsible for why some people 
in modern society refuse to have a meal with other family members. One of the 
reasons is the lack of time caused by increasing pressure from work. Many 
people are always up to ears in work all day long and don’t have any time left 
for their beloved family. The second explanation is the generation gap. To put 
it simply, youngsters today prefer eating out with their friends who have a lot in 
common with them to having dinner at home with their parents. 
9/ Describe an occasion you got up early in the morning.
You should say: 
When this happened
what you needed to do that day
who you were with 
and how you felt about getting up early that day 
To be honest, I was rarely out of bed by 8.00 AM apart from some specific 
occasions. However, there is an occasion I had to wake up earlier than usual 
which is my trip to ABC last summer vacation.

I was supposed to get everything prepared the night before, so I did pack my 
suitcases with all the essential items that I might need for my vacation trip, like 
suntan cream or some swimming costumes. When the preparation was over, I 
try to send myself to sleep but ended up tossing and turning in bed, so you see, 
I hardly got a wink of sleep. When the dawn came, I went out to feel
the gentle 
touch of a cool breeze on my face
, then I also took a sip of coffee to get myself 
fully awake. After some minutes, the coach showed up and I got in no time.
I took the trip with 2 of my besties, so we had the chance to catch up on gossip 
with one another. We also had fun at many outdoor activities on the beach like 
surfing. Although I was a bit exhausted at the end of the journey due to lack of 
sleep, it was definitely an enjoyable time. Since then, I have been less of a night 
owl and got up earlier, which I think is a better and healthier habit.
