Does that sound familiar to you? Do you do that often? If not, how do you feel when others do that while having dinner with you?

Some people were (5) (ask) to take photos before they could enjoy food. As a (6) , it showed that the (7) (many) photos they took, the less delicious the food (8) to them. Why not stop taking photos and just enjoy the food in front of you?
So, next time you go out to have dinner with your family or friends, how about not (9) ( take) photos of food? Let the food be delicious as it is and share your life with people (10) you. Trust me, and it will be a wonderful time.
