FOR BUILDING A MCDONALD’S I was exci ted when I heard that our m uni ty was to have i ts own McDonal d’s restaurant. I thought about al l those young peopl e who woul d not have to go to the next town to buy thei r favouri te burgers and chi ps. 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 qual i ty, safe and healthy. It i s al so cheap . They often provi de salads as wel l as burgers and chi ps. You can al so chose between col a and mi l k shakes(奶昔 ). Of course i t al so means 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 m uni ty and bei ng a good nei ghbour. So I thi nk they wi l be concerned about provi ding 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. M cDonal d’s m akes a prom i se 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 se nothi ng but good i f thi s pany es to bui l d i ts restaurant i n our town. AGAINST BUILDING A MCDONALD’S I am very worri ed about McDonal d’s bui ldi ng a restaurant i n our hom etown. We are a smal 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 in thei r adverti sem ents. When sci enti sts l ook at it careful l y, they fi nd hi gh levels of fat, sugar and salt. Thi s is very woryi ng. Too 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 heal thy di et shoul d be. Local Chi nese food, on the other hand, i s ful of fresh vegetabl es 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 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 Chinese food. I al so worry about al l 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 ovi ng qui ckl y through our town. I’m sure many young people 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 ni ng a uni on? So when I consi der the food, the cars and the jobs, I thi nk we shoul d not al ow McDonal d’s to bui l d their restaurant i n our town.
