[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 works¹ 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 means² 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 parking³
[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 elsewhere⁴.
[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 fairly⁵?
[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
