【正文】 s and chi ps. You can al so choose between col a and m il k shakes(奶昔 ). O f course i t al so m eans m ore 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 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 m ai n street. Many of our young peopl e wi l be onl y too happy to work for the pany. McDonal d’s m akes a prom ise to the peopl e that work for them. They say, “We val ue you, your growi ng ski l s and your hel p to the pany. ”I can see nothi ng but good if thi s pany es to bui l d its restaurant i n our town. AGAINST BUILDING A MCDONALD’S I am very worri ed about McDonal d’s buil di ng 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 heal thy as they say i n their adverti sem ents. When sci enti sts l ook at i t careful y, they fi nd hi gh l evel s of fat, sugar and salt. Thi s is very worrying. Too m any young peopl e are getti ng fat through eati ng too m uch fatty food. McDonal d’s i s not givi ng 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, is ful l of fresh vegetables and fresh m eat 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 is m ade or brought in from el sewhere. Al though i t i s freshly coked, it m ust be l es heal thy than our own l ocal y grown and coked Chi nese food. I al so worry about al those cars bri nging peopl e to buy food at McDonal d’s. First, there woul d be petrol fum es( 氣體 ), whi ch wi l m ake our cl ean ai r di rty. Second, there’s the probl em of al l those cars that try to park and prevent other cars from m ovi ng 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 bui l d thei r restaurant i n our town.

It had been a very strange m orni ng. Usual l y he got up earl y and prepared hi s m enu of barbecued m utton kebabs, roast pork, stirfri ed vegetabl es and fri ed ri ce. Then by l unchtim e they woul d al be sol d. By now his restaurant ought to be ful l of people. But not today! Why was that? What coul d have happened? H e thought of hi s mutton, beef and bacon cooked i n the hotest, fi nest oi l. H is col a was sugary and col d, and hi s i ce cream was m ade of mi l k, cream and del i ci ous frui t. “Nothi ng coul d be better,” he thought. Suddenly he saw hi s fri end Li Chang hurryi ng by. “H el o, Lao Li, ” he cal ed, “Your usual?” But Li Chang seem ed not to hear. What was the m atter? Som ethi ng terri ble m ust have happened i f Li Chang was not i ng to eat i n hi s restaurant as he al ways di d. Wang Peng fol owed Li Chang i nto a new sm al e saw a si gn i n the wi ndow. Ti red of al l that fat? Want to l ose wei ght? Com e i nsi de Yong H ui’s sli mm ing restaurant. O nl y sl imm i ng foods served here. Make yoursel f thi n agai n. Curi osi ty drove Wang Peng i nsi de. It was ful l of people. The hostess, a very thi n l ady cam e forward. “Wele, ” she sai d. “My nam e is Yong H ui. I’l l help you l ose wei ght and be fi t i n two weeks i f you eat here every day.” Then she gave a m enu to Wang Peng. There were few choi ces of food and dri nk on i t: just ri ce, raw vegetabl es served i n vi negar, frui t and water. Wang Peng was am azed at thi s and especial y at the pri ces. It cost m ore than a good m eal i n his restaurant! H e coul d not bel i eve hi s eyes. H e threw down the m enu and hurri ed outsi de. O n hi s way hom e he thought about his own m enu. Di d i t m ake people fat? Perhaps he shoul d go to the l i brary and fi nd out. H e coul d not have Yong Hui getti ng away with tel i ng peopl e l ies! H e had better do som e research! At the l i brary Wang Peng was surprised to fi nd that hi s restaurant served far too m uch fat and Yong H ui ’s far to l i tl e.
