现在我们来看看一些关于饭的表达。

Now let’s learn the word in the news.
A recent survey shows that in the first tier cities (一线城市), only less than a half of the people will go home on time for dinner.
In Beijing, about 40% of the people will go home for supper. That's the least among all other cities.
And people born in the 1970s --- more than 60% of them will go back on time
Those born in the 1990s---only 40%.
Notes:

-其中,北京人下班后不回家的比例最高,而上海准点下班的比例最高。
-你会经常回家吃饭吗?不回家的理由是什么呢?
