Hi everyone! Thank you for tuning in to Time for English.

When you're too tired to cook or just don't feel like cooking, would you rather eat out or order in? As you probably know, "eat out" means to have a meal in a restaurant instead of at home. "Dine out" has a similar meaning, but specifically, it means to eat dinner in a restaurant, and it sounds a little more formal than eat out.

Now, are you familiar with the expression to "order in"? To order in means to order food that is ready to eat and ask for it to be delivered to your home or work. You order in a pizza. You order in saba noodles. You order in burgers.

Personally I always prefer to prepare meals myself. I rarely order in but I do eat out a couple of times a month, sometimes with friends, other times by myself.

Anyhow, I'll give you an example sentence. Let's practice together. Please repeat after me:
