(word完整版)Fast Food and Chinese traditional food Hello,everyone ,thank you for sitting here and listening to me delivering my speech。
I chose the first topic。
In daily China in our daily life, we have at least two choices before we eat: western fast food, or traditional Chinese home-made food .Some people prefer western fast food 。
They think
that western fast food such as hot dog , French fries ,and pizza is delicious and convenient and having a meal at KFC or McDonalds is fashionable .While other people would like to have Chinese home—made food because of its abundance and goodness to people’s health .Anyhow, home—made food remains people's favorite.
Now let me compare the two kinds of food。
First, western fast food。
Before the first hamburger walked its way into the Chinese food market, we had little idea about such terms as doughnut, pizza, potato chips, let alone Kentucky
and McDonald' s.
Fast food has several advantages. In the first place, fast food, as is characterized by
its name,is fast. This saves people’s precious time, and consequently goes well with the rhythm
of life in modern society。
Secondly, fast food restaurants are environmentally comfortable。
The clean dishes, shiny tables, decent service and light music there all stimulate people's appetite to eat more。
Last but not least, young people consider it hip and fashionable to have a meal with friends
in a western restaurant since American and other western nations ' culture is very popular in China.
The above—mentioned advantages make western fast food become rooted in almost all parts of the country and enjoy popularity among people.
As every coin has two sides, western fast food also has its disadvantages such as lack of nutrition, dull taste and too much fat 。
Relying on fast food on a long—term basis may cause
a person to suffer from malnutrition. What is more serious is that some fast food contains many calories which can turn into fat. As we know, too much fat is harmful to our health.
Nevertheless, compared with its advantages, most people agree with western fast food, so
it tends to grow more rapidly.
As a saying goes, "Fashion is in Europe, living is in America, but eating is in China"。
The phrase is a testament to the popularity of Chinese home-made food around the world.In contrary
to western fast food, our Chinese food is much more delicious and nutritious。
It’s world-known
that Chinese food is one of the most delicious cuisines。
Instead of fastness and convenience,
it emphasizes color, aroma and taste。
Chinese not only enjoy eating but believe eating good food
can bring harmony and closeness to the family and relationships. Thus eating becomes an enjoyment instead of a routine work you have to do every day.
Shopping daily for fresh food is essential for all home cooking。
Unlike the fast food society
of the U.S。
, the Chinese select live seafood, fresh meats and seasonal fruits and vegetables from
the local market to ensure freshness。
This means swimming fish, snappy crabs, and squawking chickens。
So, if I am busy and don't want to waste time, I’ll eat fast food。
But, if I want to enjoy,
if I want to taste, Chinese home—made food is undoubtedly the best choice。
Western fast food
and our Chinese food will still compete with each other in the future。
But it's impossible for
one to merge the other due to their natural difference.。
