[00:07.18]Doctors know that there are illnesses you may get if you do not eat properly.

[00:12.96]Many scientists want young people to eat food with less fat,

[00:17.92]salt and sugar in it so that they can avoid getting serious illnesses

[00:24.27]when they are older.

[00:26.23]Listen to the tape and find out what you should do to stay thin and healthy.

[00:33.78]Hong Mei is going to the doctor with a problem.

[00:38.24]After listening,fill in the chart and answer the following questions.

[02:37.70]LISTENING TASK

[02:44.18]2 Now listen to the tape and see what two toher people in your hometown

[02:51.44]think of this plan.

[04:29.11]READING TASK  THE TOWN HAS TO DECIDE

[04:38.83]At the meeting that evening there are two speakers:

[04:43.66]one for and one against building a McDonald's restaurant.

[04:50.12]FOR BUILDING A MCDONALD'S

[04:53.17]I was excited when I heard that our community

[04:57.61]was to have its own McDonald's restaurant.

[05:01.66]I thought about all those young people

[05:05.32]who would not have to go to the next town to buy their favourite burgers and chips.

[05:11.48]McDonald's cares about healthy eating too

[05:15.53]and works 1 with scientists to provide food

[05:19.01]that is of high quality,safe and healthy.

[05:23.45]It is also cheap.They often provide salads as well as burgers and chips.

[05:29.93]You can also choose between cola and milk shakes.

[05:34.37]Of course it also means 2 more work for our area that needs jobs badly.

[05:40.74]McDonald's say they are intereted in doing what is right for the community

[05:46.20]and being a good neighbour.

[05:48.76]So I think they will be concerned about providing parking 3

[05:53.31]for the cars in our main street.

[05:56.34]Many of our young people will be only too happy to work for it.

[06:01.98]They make a promise to the people that work for them.

[06:06.13]They say,"We value you,your growing skills and your help to the company."

[06:13.19]I can see nothing but good

[06:16.03]if this company comes to build its restaurant in our town.

[06:20.60]AGAINST BUILDING A MCDONALD'S

[06:23.84]I am very worried about McDonald's building a restaurant in our hometown.

[06:29.20]We are small community and we enjoy our local dishes.

[06:33.95]I am not sure if McDonald's food is as healthy as they say in their advertisements.

[06:41.21]When scientists look at it carefully they find high levels of fat,

[06:46.86]sugar and salt.This is very worrying.

[06:51.22]Too many young people are getting fat through eating too much fatty food.

[06:57.28]McDonald's is not giving young people a good idea of what a healthy diet should be.

[07:03.78]Local Chinese food,on the other hand,

[07:07.34]is full of fresh vegetables and fresh meat and fish.

[07:12.20]The food at a McDonald's restaurant is always the same

[07:16.45]so I wonder if it is made or brought in from elsewhere 4.

[07:20.71]Although it is freshly cooked,

[07:23.59]it must be less healthy than our locally grown and cooked Chinese food.

[07:29.54]I also worry about at all those cars bringing people to buy fiid in McDonald's.

[07:35.71]First,there would be petrol fumes,which would make our clean air dirty.

[07:41.45]Second,there is the problem of all those cars that try to park

[07:46.73]and prevent other cars from moving quickly through our town.

[07:50.80]Third,what will happen to all the food containers

[07:54.96]if people decide to eat on the side of the road just out of town?

[07:59.22]Will they just throw them on the ground?

[08:02.27]I'm sure many young people would be happy to work for McDonlad's

[08:06.82]but will they be treated fairly 5?

[08:09.59]In America,McDonald's does not allow Unions to operate in its restaurants

[08:16.25]and these are people who speak up for the workers.

[08:20.09]If,as they say,the workers are happy with them

[08:24.66]why should they fear some workers joining a Union?

[08:28.50]So When I consider the food,the cars and the jobs,

[08:34.25]I think we should not allow McDonald's to build their restaurant in our town
