How does meal time now differ from when you were a kid?

Good day to you Sir [이름]!

A fantastic composition! Congratulations!

OMG! Really? I was surprised with that.

I was not aware that in the past, you have to keep quiet when eating a meal.

I think I can\'t do it because that is the time we can talk about our life, plans, etc.

How about these days? Do you still practice it? Or you talk a lot during meal time?

You can talk more about this later in class. See you!

When I was a kid, I lived together with my grandparents, so I grew up in a large family.

>> Correct!

We ate together, but we were disciplined not to eat before my grandparents or parents began eating.

>> Correct!

I still remember that food was not enough and my grandparents sometime borrowed rice from our neighbor.

When some special meals were served, we had to wait until our grandparents took their share first.

>> Correct!

Strange enough to westerners and contrary to current modern life style, we were refrained from talking at the dinning table.

>> Correct! (Capitalization: Westerners ^^)

We had to keep quite during meal time, which was regarded as a table etiquette.

>> Correct! ( Spelling check: quiet ^^)

Talking about current modern life, we can hardly find time to eat together as a family and the time taken to have a meal has shortened.

>> Correct!

>> OR: Nowadays, we can hardly find time to eat together as a family and the time taken to have a meal was reduced.

All the family members are too busy to sit down together for a family meal.

>> Correct!

We need to make meal time a family time.

>> Correct!

It takes a little work to bring everyone together for meals.

>> Did you mean: It takes a little work to bring everyone together for a meal.

But it\'s worth it and the whole family eats better.

>> Correct!
