The advantages and drawbacks of Fast
Food.
• Introduction: Use a “hook” to catch the reader’s attention e.g. a question which you answer later OR a shocking statistic which you return to in the end.
Define what fast food is.
• Give examples of restaurants and types of food.
• Give your opinion on fast food. • Do you like to eat fast food? Why? • Is it good for you? Do you eat it
often? Do you eat different types of food at home normally?
Advantages:• Use linking words like – firstly,
secondly, in addition, moreover, furthermore.
• Use topic sentences for the start of each paragraph.
Advantages• Looking at the booklet for
information on the left side – the FOR side of the argument - write several different paragraphs about the advantages of fast food.
Advantages:• Eg. Convenient, cheap, tasty food
in pleasant surroundings• McDonalds does not use beef from
South America, which involved the destruction of rainforests
Advantages:• Fast food outlets include health food
shops with healthy food like pizzas, filled rolls, baked potatoes, salad bars, food without artificial additives.
• Healthy diets – fast food like ice cream provides calcium and vitamin C is found in crisps or breakfast cereals and sugar is an important source of energy.
Drawbacks:• Use linking words like –
however, on the other hand, nevertheless, yet, but.
• Use topic sentences to introduce each paragraph.
Drawbacks:• Looking at the AGAINST side
of the booklet (ie all the right hand side pages) write several paragraphs about the drawbacks of fast food.
Drawbacks:• Eg. Pollution, litter and noise, late at
night from take-aways• Some beef used by some fast food
outlets comes from cattle raised on the rain forests of South America.
• Some fast food health foods have harmful ingredients eg muesli bars have a high content of sugar. Some of these outlets do not sell fruit and vegetables.
Drawbacks:• Too much fat, salt and sugars are
found in burgers and chips• Some restaurants unlike fast food
places are unhurried and pleasant places to sit in rather than eating in a hurry.
Conclusions:• Return to the “hook” to
answer your question OR• Comment on the statistics
with a striking final sentence.
Conclusions:• Sum up your own opinion. • Do you like fast food? Has your
view changed since reading and watching information about fast foods? Do you eat too many fast food meals, do you think? Should you eat more fruit and vegetables?
