Perhaps we ought to bi ne our i deas and provi de a bal anced menu wi th 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 boi l ed the potatoes rather than fryi ng them . They served fresh frui t wi th the i ce cream. In thi s way they cut down the fat and i ncreased the fi bre i n the m eal. Thei r bal anced di ets becam e such a sucess that before l ong Wang Peng became sl imm er and Yong H ui put on more wei ght. After som e ti m e the two found that their busi nes cooperati on had turned i nto a personal one . Fi nal y they got m arri ed and li ved happi l y ever after. FOR BUILDING A MCDONALD’S I was exci ted when I heard that our m uni ty was to have i ts own McDonald’s restaurant. I thought about al those young peopl e who woul d not have to go to the next town to buy thei r favouri te burgers and chips. McDonal d’s cares about heal thy eati ng too and works wi th sci enti sts to provi de food that i s of hi gh quali ty, safe and heal thy. It i s al so cheap . They often provi de sal ads as wel as burgers and chi ps. You can al so choose between col a and m il k shakes(奶昔 ). Of course i t also m eans m ore work for our area that needs jobs badly. McDonal d’s say they are i nterested i n doi ng what i s ri ght for the muni ty and bei ng a good nei ghbour. So I thi nk they wil l be concerned about provi di ng parki ng for the cars i n our mai n stret. Many of our young peopl e wil l be onl y too happy to work for the pany. McDonal d’s makes a promi se to the peopl e that work for them . They say, “We val ue you, your growi ng skil ls and your hel p to the pany. ”I can see nothi ng but good i f this pany es to buil d i ts restaurant i n our town. AGAINST BUILDING A MCDONALD’S I am very worri ed about McDonal d’s bui l di ng a restaurant i n our hometown. 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 heal thy as they say i n thei r adverti sem ents. When sci enti sts look at i t careful ly, they fi nd high l evel s of fat, sugar and sal t. This i s very worrying. Too m any young peopl e are getti ng fat through eati ng too much fatty food. McDonald’s is not gi ving young peopl e a good i dea of what a heal thy di et shoul d be. Local Chi nese food, on the other hand, i s ful l of fresh vegetabl es and fresh meat and fi sh. The food at a McDonal d’s restaurant i s al ways the sam e, so I wonder i f i t i s m ade or brought i n from el sewhere. Al though i t i s freshl y cooked, i t m ust be l ess heal thy than our own l ocal y grown and cooked Chi nese food. I also wory about al those cars bri ngi ng peopl e to buy food at McDonal d’s. Fi rst, there woul d be petrol fum es(氣體 ), whi ch wi l m ake our cl ean ai r dirty. Second, there’s the probl em of al those cars that try to park and prevent other cars from m oving qui ckl y through our town. I’m sure m any young peopl e woul d be happy to work for McDonal d’s but wi l they be treated fai rl y？ In Am erican, McDonal d’s does not al ow workers’ uni ons to operate i n i ts restaurants and these are peopl e who speak up for the workers. If, as they say, the workers are happy wi th them , why shoul d they fear som e workers joi ning a uni on? So when I consi der the food, the cars and the jobs, I thi nk we shoul d not al l ow McDonal d’s to buil d thei r restaurant i n our town. Unit 3 the m il li on pound bank note Act I, Scene 3 N arrator: It i s the summ er of 1903. Two ol d and weal thy brothers, Roderi ck an dOl i ver, have m ade a bet.

Roderi ck: May we ask what you’re doi ng i n thi s country and what your pl ans are? H enry: Wel , I can’t say that I have any plans. I’m hopi ng to fi nd work. As a m atter of fact, I l anded i n Britai n by acci dent. Ol i ver: H ow i s that possi bl e? H enry: Wel l, you se, back home I had m y own boat. About a m onth ago, I was sai li ng out of the bay… ( his eyes stare at what i s l eft of the brother’s di ner on tabl e. ) Ol i ver: Wel l, go on. H enry: O h, yes.
