I thought you were a new custom er and now I know that you onl y cam e onl y to spy on m e and m y m enu,” she shouted. “Pl ease excuse m e,” he cal ml y expl ai ned, “I wanted to know where al l my custom ers had gone l ast week. I fol owed one of them and found them i n your restaurant. I don’t want to upset you, but I found your m enu so lim i ted that I stopped worryi ng and started adverti si ng the benefi ts of m y food. Why don’t you si t down and try a m eal ?” Yong H ui agreed to stay and son they were both enjoyi ng the dum pli ngs and breast of chi cken coked wi th garli c. When they were served the i ce cream , Yong H ui began to l ook il l. “I feel si ck with al l thi s fat and heavy food, ”she sai d, “I mi ss m y vegetabl es and frui t. ”Wang Peng was enjoyi ng a second pl ate of dum pl i ngs so he sighed.“Yes,”he added,“and I woul d m iss m y dumpli ngs and fatty pork. Don’t you get tired qui ckl y?” “Wel , I do have to rest a l ot, ”adm itted Yong H ui . “But don’t you thi nk i t woul d be beter i f you were a bit thi nner? I’m sure you woul d feel much heal thi er. ” They began to tal k about m enus and bal anced di ets. “Accordi ng to m y research, neither your restaurant nor mi ne offers a balanced di et, ”expl ai ned Wang Peng. “I don’t ofer enough fi bre and you don’t offer enough body–buil di ng and energy–givi ng foods. Perhaps we ought to bi ne our i deas and provi de a bal anced m enu wi th foods ful l 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 rather than frying them . They served fresh fruit wi th the i ce cream . In this 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 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 cooperation had turned i nto a personal one . Fi nal 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 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 heal thy eating too and works with sci enti sts to provi de food that i s of hi gh qual ity, safe and healthy. It is al so cheap . They often provi de sal ads as wel l as burgers and chi ps. You can also 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 interested i n doi ng what i s right for the m uni ty and bei ng a good nei ghbour. So I think 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 wil l be onl y too happy to work for the pany. McDonal d’s m akes a promi se to the people 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 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 healthy as they say i n thei r adverti sem ents. When sci enti sts l ook at i t careful ly, they fi nd hi gh l evel s of fat, sugar and sal t. This i s very worryi ng. Too m any young peopl e are getti ng fat through eati ng too m uch fatty 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, is ful 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 it i s m ade or brought i n from el sewhere. Although i t is freshly cooked, i t 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 ), whi ch wi l m ake our clean 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 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 Ameri can, McDonal d’s does not al ow workers’ uni ons to operate
