Perhaps we ought to bine our i deas and provi de a balanced m enu with foods ful of energy and fi bre. ”So that i s what they di d. They served raw vegetabl es with 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 in the m eal. Thei r balanced di ets becam e such a success that before l ong Wang Peng becam e slim m er and Yong Hui put on m ore weight. After som e tim e the two found that thei r busi ness cooperati on had turned i nto a personal one . Final y they got m ari ed and li ved happil y ever after. FOR BUILDING A MCDONALD’S I was exci ted when I heard that our m uni ty was to have its own McDonal d’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 chi ps. McDonal d’s cares about heal thy eati ng too and works wi th sci entists 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 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 m unity 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 street. Many of our young peopl e wil l 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 val ue you, your growi ng skil ls and your hel p 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 di ng a restaurant i n our hom etown. We are a sm al l muni 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 advertisem ents. When sci enti sts l ook 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 m uch fatty food. McDonal d’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 of fresh vegetabl es 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 i s m ade or brought i n from el sewhere. Al though it i s freshl y coked, it m ust be l ess heal thy than our own l ocal l y grown and cooked Chi nese food. I al so worry about al l those cars bri ngi ng people to buy food at McDonal d’s. First, there woul d be petrol fum es(氣體 ), which 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 ckly through our town. I’m sure m any young peopl e woul d be happy to work for McDonal d’s but wil l they be treated fairl y？ In Am eri can, McDonal d’s does not al l ow workers’ unions to operate i n its restaurants and these are people who speak up for the workers. If, as they say, the work
