I feel it's very important for families to have regular meals together. One
of my most useful childhood memories were dinner with my parents and              【D1】________
mm sisters. As a result, last year I decided that entire family would have                【D2】________
dinner together three days a week, because we found that we seldom had
a chante to get gather as a family. We thought it would be possible for                 【D3】________
everyone to set aside three evenings a week for a sit-down dinner. First we
tried setting three fixed days for our experiment—Mondays, Wednesdays,            【D4】________
and Fridays. After a couple of weeks of thing this plan, almost everyone
was happy. Then my son had the idea of having everyone put their                       【D5】________
plan for the week on the top of the TV set every Sunday. I would
choose the three best days. For a while. the kids continue to resist the                  【D6】________
idea.They said they would rather spend the time playing with their friends or
take part in some activities. Gradually, though, they began to see these                【D7】________
evenings together in a different way. We had laughed a lot and we                      【D8】________
discussed each other's problems. Now before a couple of months we all              【D9】________
feel that we have been able to build much strong relationships within                  【D10】________
the family than we had before.
