We all love hamburgers, fried fries, and various sauces. But everyone knows that fast food is bad for health. At the same time, people do not want to give up such tasty, but very harmful food. Probably the only advantage of such meal is that it is quickly prepared and inexpensive.

The life of modern people proceeds at a fast pace, and often there is not enough free time to eat. For such people, this is the only solution in such situations. Therefore, fast food is very popular and such cafes are opened in different places.

Фаст-фуд

Все мы любим гамбургеры, картофель фри, и различные соусы. Но каждый знает, что фаст-фуд вреден для здоровья. При этом люди не хотят отказываться от такой вкусной, но очень вредной пищи. Наверное единственное преимущество такой еды, что быстро готовится и недорогая в цене.

Жизнь современных людей протекает в интенсивном темпе, и часто не хватает свободной минуты перекусить. Для таких людей это единственное решение в подобных ситуациях. Поэтому кафе быстрого приготовления очень популярны, и их открывается большое количество в разных местах. Обычно в таких заведениях меню состоит из простых блюд: жареный картофель, салаты, гамбургеры, чизбургеры, молочные коктейли, различные соусы. Вся эта еда опасна для здоровья. Она не содержит витаминов и питательных веществ. В её состав входят красители, вкусовые добавки, ароматизаторы. В ней очень много жира и калорий. У человека нарушается обмен веществ, что в свою очередь приводит к ожирению.

Если не получается полностью отказаться от фаст-фудов, то следует быть более разборчивыми при выборе меню. Желательно останавливать предпочтение на диетических блюдах, овощных салатах заправленных оливковым маслом. Не использовать специи, майонез и жирные соусы. Очень важно пищу тщательно пережевывать и никогда не запивать газированной водой. Все эти правила помогут снизить риски заболеваний у любителей фаст-фуда.

Fast Food

There are so many cafes and restaurants in our town and I like to visit them from time to time. I go there with my parents or with my friends. Food there is very different: Russian, Italian, Japanese, American cuisine. But there is also a lot of fast food there.

Few years ago I was crazy about McDonald’s and KFC, and food like this. I had a bottle of coke at home, ate hamburgers and french fries almost every day and I was sure it was the best food in the world. When I was 13 I noticed my skin had become bad and I put on weight a lot. I searched in internet and found out that all these problems with health we have because of food.

So fast food is one of the most popular food in the world and most favorite for many Americans. It’s not a secret people there suffer because of extra-weight. All these things is the result of fast food.

French fries, Big Macs, chicken burgers chicken tenders and Mac nuggets — all of them are really delicious, but are harmful for our body. And if you find out how to cook these food and what it is consists of, I bet you will lose all interest to this food. There are no natural products and ingredients, but many preservatives, chemical additives, colorants, fats and sugar. It’s not difficult to understand that all these things affect our stomach and nervous system.

Unfortunately many people don’t understand this fact. If you go to McDonald’s you will see many people eating their meals with families. I guess nobody can explain this, but people should start to take care about the health and read this information in internet.

Our beauty and health start with proper nutrition and sport. While our body is young and strong it’s easier to take care about our health. But we has to take decision by ourself.

Эссе / сочинение 1

Fast food is very popular and saves time for busy working people. However, many experts say that it is not completely healthy. Do you know a person who has never been to McDonald’s? McDonald’s is the leading global foodservice retailer serving millions of people in more than 100 countries each day. McDonald’s restaurants sell what is called «fast” or «junk” food — hamburgers, chips and so on. Such food is very popular, especially with children and teenagers.

Personally, I adore hamburgers, cheeseburgers, apple pies, muffins and fruit cocktails. This food is tasty, cheap and ubiquitous. What is more, going to McDonald’s saves much time and effort. I don’t have to go to a supermarket, prepare meals and wash the dishes when I eat out. Besides, I like the holiday atmosphere of McDonald’s. There I can relax, enjoy the food and celebrate some event with my friends and relatives.

But experts say that fast food makes people overweight and even obese and elevates the risk of diabetes and cancer. If your food includes hamburgers, chips, hot dogs, pizzas and fizzy drinks like Coke, Pepsi, Sprite and others, you are facing a serious problem threatening your health. Such food is full of chemical additives. For example, a can of Coke contains about eight tea­spoons of sugar and artificial sweeteners. Moreover, there is a risk of food poisoning.

To sum it up, we should think more about our health. We should try to avoid fast food and eat more fruit and vegetables. Those people who don’t care about what they eat may face serious problems. So let’s remember about our health and make the right choice.

Some people say that genetically modified (GM) food is dangerous to their health. Others believe that it is absolutely harmless and has a number of advantages. Nowadays people are getting more and more concerned about the food they eat as it is closely connected with the way they look and feel. That is why there are so many arguments about the safety of genetically modified food.

Genetically modified crops have been developed by changing the plant’s genetic structure in order to help the plant resist against different diseases or produce larger crops. Personally, I try not to buy GM food as there is no scientific conclusion so far to prove its safety for human consumption. We don’t know what unforeseen consequences there might be. I prefer not to risk my health because scientists are not sure if GM food is absolutely harmless or not.

However, a lot of people are not worried about the negative influence of GM food on their health. Besides, producers of this food say that it has a number of advantages in terms of price, durability and nutritional value. They also say there is no risk to human health, although possi­ble side effects connected with the use of GM products have not been studied.

Can we trust producers of GM food? I don’t think so. Unfortunately, in Russia the law does not prohibit the use of GM products. I believe that it’s up to you to decide whether to buy GM food or not. Anyway, producers of this food must mark their products if they contain GM ingredients.

Some people say that food is our friend, while others think that it may become an enemy. Can we live without food? The answer is definitely «no”. Food is essential to our body which is continually wasting and requires new energy. Experts say that food has some special powers that can control our lives, for better or for worse.

To my mind, food is our friend if it is healthy and taken with due regard to the exercise and waste of the body. I believe that if you eat the right food, you can manage your mood and boost your brainpower. For example, when I feel blue, I treat myself to a bar of chocolate or an ice-cream and become more cheerful and energetic. When I am to take a test, I eat a handful of nuts or a banana because such food helps me concentrate.

However, sometimes food may become a real enemy. Unfortunately, some people don’t pay attention to what they eat. If their diet includes fast food and fizzy drinks, they can do much harm to their health. People who are fond of hamburgers and Coca-Cola often suffer from diabetes, cancer and tooth decay. Moreover, they may become overweight and even obese.

To sum up, food that contains vitamins gives you a psychological lift and helps you improve your health. But food that has a hefty amount of chemical additives, fat, sugar or caffeine makes you fat and draws energy away from your brain. I strongly feel that if you take control of your food, you will be able to take control of your life.

Nowadays more and more people become vegetarians. Others say they can’t do without meat or fish. Being a vegetarian is rather popular nowadays. Some people say they don’t eat meat and fish because it is healthy. Others follow the example of their favourite actor or musician. Is it worth becoming a vegetarian?

Personally, I think that people should eat both meat and fish. Our ancestors would not have survived if they hadn’t hunted and fished. Meat and fish are nourishing and they contain vitamins that make us stronger. Besides, fish is good for our brains.

However, quite a lot of people say it is cruel to eat animals. They feel sorry for pigs, chickens or rabbits that are kept in cages. Vegetarians are convinced that killing animals is a crime. So their food consists of vegetables, fruit and nuts. They say that such a diet does much good to their health and contains all the vitamins, minerals and protein they need. But I think that if all people eat only plants, there will not be enough food for everybody. What is more, most fruit and vegetables are harmful because they are full of pesticides.

So it is up to you to decide whether to become vegetarian or not. Personally, I believe that we should eat different food but at the same time we should know where to stop.

На первый взгляд может показаться, что написать эссе (сочинение) на английском языке – это чрезвычайно сложно. Но если знать и соблюдать некоторые правила, то написание эссе (сочинения) будет не таким уж и страшным делом.

Итак, при написании эссе (сочинения) учитывайте следующие моменты:

1. Придерживайтесь формального стиля письма. Помните, что сокращения типа don’t, can’t, I’m, it’s – это не формальный стиль. Также избегайте восклицательных знаков, что тоже не соответствует нейтральности формального стиля. Следите за лексикой и не используйте таких фраз, как: well, to tell the truth и др. Эти фразы не соответствуют формальному стилю.
2. Разделите ваше эссе (сочинение) на несколько логических частей (абзацев). В первом абзаце представьте проблему, которую будете рассматривать в эссе. Чтобы правильно это сделать, переформулируйте тему. Не повторяйте тему, а переформулируйте ее!
3. Далее рассмотрите проблему с двух сторон – найдите два-три аргумента, поддерживающих одну точку зрения и столько же – в пользу другой. Не надо писать все аргументы, которые приходят в голову. Выберите два-три самых весомых и изложите их.
4. Выскажите свое отношение к проблеме. В двух-трех предложениях объясните, почему вы так думаете. Не повторяйте дословно уже приведенную аргументацию. Используйте перефразирование.
5. В последнем абзаце сделайте вывод по проблеме.
6. Следите за объемом эссе (сочинения). Принцип «чем больше, тем лучше” здесь неприменим. Эксперт, проверяющий вашу работу жестко отсчитывает нужное количество слов и проверяет только тот объем, который укладывается в норму. Эссе (сочинение) менее установленного объема вообще не проверяется и никак не оценивается.

Фаст фуд

В нашем городе полно различных кафе и ресторанов и я очень люблю посещать их время от времени. Я хожу туда со своими родителями, а порой и с друзьями. В наших заведениях есть разная кухня: русская, итальянская, японская, американская. А также там огромный выбор фаст фуда.

Несколько лет назад я безумно любила Макдональдс, сеть ресторанов KFC и другие подобные заведения. Дома у меня всегда была бутылка кока-колы, я постоянно кушала гамбургеры и жаренную картошку почти каждый день, и я была уверена, что это лучшая еда во всем мире. Когда мне исполнилось лет 13, я заметила, что моя кожа стала плохой, а ещё я прибавила в весе. Я стала искать в интернете причины и обнаружила, что все проблемы, которыми я обзавелась, появились именно из-за такого питания.

Итак, фаст фуд — это самая популярная еда во всем мире, и огромный фаворит многих американцев. Ни для кого не секрет, что эти люди страдают от лишнего веса. А это все результат быстрого питания.

Жаренная картошка, Биг-маки, чикен-бургеры, куриные кусочки и куриное филе в панировке — все это очень вкусно, но и вредно для нашего организма. А если вы посмотрите, как готовится эта еда и из чего она состоит, готова поспорить, вы потеряете всякое удовольствие так питаться. Там нет никаких натуральных продуктов и ингредиентов, а только консерванты, химические добавки, красители, жиры и сахар. Не трудно понять, что все эти вещи влияют на наш желудок и нервную систему.

К сожалению, многие люди не понимают этого факта. Если вы отправитесь в Макдональдс, увидите, как много людей кушают там свои обеды, собравшись всей семьёй. Я полагаю, никто вам не объяснит всего вреда, если только вы сами не начнёте заботиться о своём здоровье и не прочтёте нужную информацию в интернете.

Наша красота и здоровье начинаются с правильного питания и спорта. Пока у нас молодое и крепкое тело, нам легче поддерживать его в тонусе и полном здравии. Но каждый должен принять решение самостоятельно.

Nowadays people are speaking much about advantages and disadvantages of fast food. It is said that fast food is bad. But there is another point of view on the problem; others think that fast food is not bad. Who is right? As for me, I think that fast food is very convenient. Now I will try to explain my point of view.

First of all, if you are hungry and busy, it is better to eat fast food than nothing. Secondly, to eat fast food is quicker. It goes without saying, that to have more free time is very important for businessmen. Finally, it is cheaper to eat fast food, which is very important for teens who usually do not have much pocket money.

As I said before there is another point of view on the problem. There are people who think fast food is not a good solution for people with busy lives, because it is harmful. The most common argument against this is that there is some healthy food in fast food cafe, for example, various salads. Of course, fast food is a perfect solution for dinner, but when you`re home you need to eat only healthy and full of natural food.

In conclusion, I can say that I am for fast food for busy people because it is more comfortable for them. To my mind, everybody should make their own choices whether to eat junk or healthy food

В настоящее время люди много говорят о преимуществах и недостатках употребления фастфуда . Считается, что фастфуд вреден для человека. Но в тоже время существует другая точка зрения – некоторые думают, что фастфуд не имеет отрицательного значения для людей.

Во-первых, для голодного и занятого человека лучше съесть фастфуд, чем ходить голодным и не иметь сил для какой-либо активности. Во-вторых, обеды в ресторанах быстрого питания отнимают немного времени у людей. Безусловно, наличие свободного времени очень важно для бизнесменов. В-третьих, такие обеды имеют небольшую стоимость, что особенно важно для тинейджеров, не имеющих много карманных денег.

Как было сказано ранее, есть другая точка зрения. Часть людей считает, что фастфуд вреден и его употребление не является лучшим решением для занятых людей. Я не могу полностью согласиться с этим мнением. Многим известно, что и в кафе быстрого питания можно приобрести полезную, натуральную пищу, например, разнообразные салаты.

В заключении, хочу сказать, я считаю, употребление фастфуда удобно для современного человека. По-моему, каждый должен сделать для себя выбор: употреблять натуральную пищу или фастфуд.

The Hot Dog

The original name of the hot dog was the frankfurter, after the German city of Frankfurt. In the United States frankfurters, sausages on buns, were first sold in the 1860s. But for Americans the name “dachshund sausage” seemed to be a good one for the frankfurter. In actual fact, a dachshund is a dog from Germany with a very long body and short legs. Dachshund sausages first became popular in New-York especially at baseball games, where they were sold by men keeping them warm in hot water tanks. The men walked up and down the rows of people and yelled “Get your hot dachshund sausages here!” And in 1906 the newspaper cartoonist Tad Dorgan saw the men with the dachshund sausages and got an idea for a cartoon: he drew a bun with a dachshund inside – not a sausage but a dog. The cartoonist didn’t know how to spell the word “dachshund” and under the picture he just wrote: “Get your hot dogs!” The cartoon was a sensation as well as the name. If you go to a baseball game today, you can still see sellers walking around with hot water tanks and yelling, “Get your hot dogs here! Get your hot dogs here!”

Pop-Corn

It’s impossible to imagine American take-away food or snacks without popcorn. Clear as a day, it is made from corn. But what about the first part of the word “pop”. Actually, when you put a kernel of corn on a fire, the water inside makes the corn explode. This makes a “pop” noise. That is why we call it popcorn. It’s an interesting thing to know that not all corn pops. A seed of corn must contain 14% water in it. Other kinds of corn have less waters and do not pop. The American Indians, who popped corn a long time ago, knew that special sort. They introduced corn to the first settlers. In 1620 when Pilgrims had a Thanksgiving dinner they invited the Indians, who brought popcorn with them. Since that time Americans continued to pop corn at home. But in 1945 a new machine was invented that changed the history of the product. The electric machine enabled to pop corn outside the home. And soon movies started selling popcorn to make more money. The famous American habit of eating popcorn at the movies is well-known. Many people like to put salt or melted butter in their popcorn, some prefer to have it without. Either way Americans love their popcorn.

Coca-Cola

The world famous fresh drink Coca-Cola first was an all-purpose medicine, made in 1886 by a druggist from Atlanta, who made a brown syrup by mixing coca leaves and cola nuts. The syrup wasn’t a success and then another druggist, Jacobs, had an idea of selling Coca-Cola as a soda fountain drink. He mixed the syrup with soda water. Soon everyone was going to soda fountains and asking for Coca-Cola. An immigrant from Ireland, Asa Candler bought the recipe of the drink and having registered the company, became its father in 1892. In 1899 the first bottling factory was opened. The shaped bottle, as we know it today was invented in 1916 to protect the trademark. And again the World War II helped to make Coca-Cola popular outside America, when the Coca-Cola Company sent bottles of the drink to US soldiers fighting in Europe. It became so popular with the soldiers that the US Army asked the company to start ten factories in Europe. It’s a curious thing but from 1903 coca leaves were no longer used in the drink. The exact ingredients and the quantities are not known – the Coca-Cola Company keeps its recipe a secret.
