I went to WIL. I spoke in English with two men and Naomi. Naomi is my teacher. She is American. Today we talked about food.
A new study shows that family meals help children stay slim. Researchers from the University of Illinois found that kids who eat at the table with their family are healthier and have a lower risk of obesity. The research team also says that sitting down for breakfast, lunch or dinner teaches children healthy eating habits. Researcher Dr Amber Hammons wrote: "Families that eat five or more meals together have children who are up to 25 per cent less likely to encounter nutritional health issues."
Family meals also encourage other positive behaviour in children. They learn better manners sitting at the table and are more sociable because they join their parents' conversation. This is not the case with children who eat alone or who sit in front of television with their meal. In recent decades, more and more children sit on the sofa watching TV. This can lead to their food going cold and them not eating it. Eating alone also means the child misses out on developing social skills.
I think that it is important for us to eat meals with family. I live in Kumamoto alone, so I know this. Before I came to Kumamoto, I always talked to my family over our meals. We talked about many things; what happened at school, what did with my friends, my dreams and so on. I enjoyed talking with them. To talk about many things with them made a close of family ties. I think that family ties are really important and necessary. Recently I think that family ties are fading and child abuses are increasing. Many children will become happy by talking with family, because family ties come into existence. How do you think it?
