ream, Yong H ui began to look il . “I feel sick with al l thi s fat and heavy food, ”she sai d,“I mi s my vegetabl es and fruit.”Wang Peng was enjoying a second pl ate of dum pli ngs so he si ghed.“Yes,”he aded, “and I woul d m iss my dum pl ings and faty pork. Don’t you get ti red qui ckl y?” “Wel, I do have to rest a l ot, ”admi tted Yong H ui. “But don’t you thi nk it woul d be beter i f you were a bi t thi nner? I’m sure you would feel much healthier. ” They began to talk about menus and bal anced di ets. “Accordi ng to m y research, nei ther your restaurant nor mi ne offers a bal anced diet, ”expl ai ned Wang Peng. “I don’t offer enough fibre and you don’t offer enough body–buil di ng and energy–gi vi ng foods. Perhaps we ought to bine our i deas and provi de a bal anced m enu with foods ful of energy and fi bre. ”So that i s what they di d. They served raw vegetabl es wi th the ham burgers and boil ed the potatoes rath er than frying them . They served fresh fruit wi th the ice cream . In this way they cut down the fat and i ncreased the fi bre i n the m eal . Their balanced di ets becam e such a suces that before l ong Wang Peng becam e slimm er and Yong Hui put on m ore wei ght. After som e tim e the two found that thei r busi ness cooperation had turned i nto a personal one . Fi nal y they got m aried and l ived happil y ever after. FOR BUILDING A MCDONALD’S I was excited when I heard that our m unity was to have i ts own McDonal d’s restaurant. I thought about al those young people who woul d not have to go to the next town to buy thei r favourite burgers and chi ps. McDonal d’s cares about healthy eating to and works with sci entists to provi de food that i s of hi gh qual ity, safe and heal thy. It i s al so cheap . They often provide sal ads as wel l as burgers and chips. You can also chose between col a and m il k shakes(奶昔 ). Of course it also m eans more work for our area that needs jobs badl y. McDonal d’s say they are i nterested i n doi ng what i s ri ght for the munity and being a good neighbour. So I think they wil l be concerned about providi ng parking for the cars i n our m ain street. Many of our young peopl e wil be onl y too happy to work for the pany. McDonal d’s m akes a promi se to the peopl e that work for them . They say, “We value you, your growi ng ski l s and your help to the pany.”I can see nothi ng but good i f thi s pany es to buil d i ts restaurant in our town. AGAINST BUILDING A MCDONALD’S I am very worri ed about McDonal d’s buil ding a restaurant i n our hom etown. We are a sm al m uni ty and we enjoy our l ocal di shes. I am not sure i f McDonal d’s food i s as healthy as they say in thei r adverti sem ents. When sci enti sts look at i t careful y, they find high l evel s of fat, sugar and sal t. Thi s i s very worryi ng. To m any young peopl e are getti ng fat through eati ng too m uch faty food. McDonal d’s i s not gi vi ng young peopl e a good i dea of what a healthy di et shoul d be. Local Chi nese fod, on the other hand, i s ful of fresh vegetables and fresh m eat and fi sh. The food at a McDonal d’s restaurant is al ways the sam e, so I wonder if i t is made or brought in from el sewhere. Although it i s freshl y cooked, i t must be l es heal thy than our own l ocal y grown and cooked Chinese food. I al so worry about al l those cars bringi ng peopl e to buy food at McDonal d’s. First, there woul d be petrol fumes(氣體 ), whi ch wi l m ake our cl ean ai r di rty. Second, there’s the problem of al those cars that try to park and prevent other cars from m ovi ng quickly through our town. I’m sure m any young people would be hapy to work for McDonal d’s but wil l they be treated fai rl y? In Am eri can, McDonal d’s does not al ow workers’ uni ons to operate i n its restaurants and these are peopl e who speak up for the workers. If, as they say, the workers are hapy with them , why shoul d they fear som e workers joi ni ng a uni on? So when I consi der the fod, the cars and the jobs, I thi nk we shoul d not al ow McDonal d’s to buil d their restaurant i n our town.
