More than half (53 percent) of the respondents to a poll (民意测验) of 1,000 Britons across the country said they now prefer to spend quality time with family and friends by inviting them over to their homes rather than meeting in bars and restaurants, the survey by mobile phone operator T-Mobile showed. Popular television shows such as “Come Dine With Me,” where amateur chefs attempt to wow the audience with their culinary (烹调的) skills, “Master Chef” where ordinary people compete to cook to Michelin standards (米其林餐厅评分标准) and a number of celebrity cookery shows have inspired Britons to entertain at home. The poll showed that nearly a third of respondents had spent money on home entertainment improvements such as sofas, dining tables and bigger televisions to impress the guests. “Over the last couple of years, my clients have increasingly asked for home parties rather than ones at independent places,” party planning expert Liz Brewer said in a statement accompanying the poll’s results. “This is not only due to a slowing of economic activity but because many have become increasingly house-proud and eager to show off their cooking skills, in addition to their latest home entertainment purchases.” Celebrity chef Jamie Oliver was the top choice for dream host of respondents, while Prime Minister Gordon Brown was one of the least favored, alongside Conservative leader David Cameron. 1、Britons’ interest in entertaining guests at home is growing because of the impact of . A．Michelin standards B．television
