　　With the development of modern society, having meals together with one’s family members has been regarded less and less important. Some people argue that it is not necessary for adults and kids to share their dinner time as a routine. They list a couple of situations where individuals have various kinds of reasons to miss a united meal, such as the one that parents may come home very late due to their busy work. However, in my perspective, spending time with each other at the dinner table has its own benefits and should be followed by us. My reasons and examples are listed as follows.

　　On the one hand, having meals together on a regular basis can help parents spend adequate time accompanying their children. During the daytime, adults in a family will be at work and the young will have classes in school. So usually it is the precious chance for the grown-ups to pay attention to their kids’ life, communicating with them and offering some advice to their puzzles. Take Black Obama, the former president of America as an example. Mr. and Mrs. Obama both had a tight schedule every day when Mr. Obama was in his presidency. In addition, Mrs. Obama, as a diligent lawyer, also needed to invest lots of time in her career. Nevertheless, this outstanding couple never missed their dinner with two daughters. Mr. Obama once told the media that during their meal time, nothing political or severe would be talked about; instead, their topics were all around ordinary things happening in kids’ school life, such as how to communicate with peers or the way to accomplish a composition. The reason why this couple is able to sustain this habit is they think it is one of the best methods to ensure their caring towards their daughters.

　　On the other hand, eating delicious food together in a fixed time can serve as a bridge for parents to teach their kids health eating habits. As an old saying goes, ‘You are what you eat.’ It tells us that whether or not the meal we eat is healthy may have a significant impact on our body condition, especially for the young one with a growing body. With regularly dinner together, the grown-ups can deliver some knowledge to their children. During my primary school years, my father insisted that we should have dinner together every week day in order to give advice to our eating. I still remember at that time, beef and pork were initially my favorite while I had no interests in vegetables. It took my parents several weeks to help me get used to eat certain kinds of vegetables such as broccoli each day. Thus actually led to a future balanced diet of me and it was proved to contribute a lot to my health.

　　In conclusion, having regular family meals has a couple of benefits. Spending time with family member regularly can not only strengthen the emotional bond among each one but also help the young in a family to obtain a healthy life style.

　　When we open a webpage and scan the contents on it, it is easily for us to realize that there are always some people standing beside us while others remain against. Some people prefer to totally ignore the ideas opposite from theirs because they find them to be stupid and annoying information. However, in my opinion, it is usually beneficial for us to input some views different from us. My view point is based on the following reasons and examples.

　　To begin with, opinions varying from our own thoughts can sometimes help open up our minds. As we all know, when facing with a puzzle, methods delivered by one person are often limited, for one cannot acquire knowledge of various subjects during his short lifetime. Thus makes accepting ideas from others essential during the process of dealing with tough questions. For example, when I was still a college student, I once needed to write a paper of Freud’s theory. I chose dream interpretation as my topic and started my writing. Unfortunately, I stuck half way when I wrote almost 2000 words. The thing making me in a dilemma was I suddenly realize that my paper was just a copy of psychoanalysis theory and hardly contained anything original because I was a faithful follower of these masters. Luckily, several days before the deadline, I read through some ideas from a group of anti-psychoanalysis scholars. They proposed that some of Freud’s theory cast an over-pessimistic view on human nature and rejected the theory that people were all animal-like beings motivated by basic needs. These comments gave me inspirations to study Freud’s theory from a brand new perspective. In this case, listening to those opposite views indeed help me to finish my academic task.

　　Moreover, the ability to detect and understand other people’s ideas is precious and sometimes even necessary in some kinds of jobs. Individuals majoring in marketing, media, or several kinds of service industry especially need this skill. Collecting and accepting various opinions may be regarded as a necessity if they want to have a successful career life. Take the mobile phone sales as an example. Working staff with a high sales volume are always the ones good at finding and responding to customers’ needs. In contrast, some sales person lacking this ability probably find it very tough to promote items to their customers. When a young lady steps into the store and expresses that she would like to buy a mobile phone with high-definition camera, salesclerk who is good at accepting other’s ideas will immediately hand her the one she likes, while some stubborn ones may recommend her to try their newest type repeatedly regardless of her special demand for the camera. Reading through news different from our own can exercise our ability to understand other’s thoughts, which may lead to the future benefits in our career.

　　To sum up, it is essential for us to receive some opinions distinguished or totally opposite from our standing point. It can not only help us to broaden our mind and deliver some useful ideas, but also to effectively catch other people’s needs and would be favor of some jobs related to marketing.
