Losing weight is a kind of progress.
減肥是一種進步。
At present, more and more people are concerned about weight. I think this phenomenon is a kind of progress, since people care about their health. As we know, putting on weight can increase the chance for us to suffer from some kinds of diseases.
目前，越來越多的人開始關注自己的體重。我認為這種現象的出現意味著一種進步，因為人們開始關注自己的健康。眾所周知，肥胖會增加人們患某些疾病的風險。
I think the increased concern for weight is an improvement of our living standard. When we are poor , the most important thing for us is to increase our food rather than to reduce it. Therefore, I think losing weight is a kind of progress.
對體重問題的日益關注也說明了人們生活水平的提高。當生活水平較低時，如何填飽肚子是人們關注的頭等大事，而非減少食物的攝入量。因此，我認為減肥是一種進步的表現。
Losiog weight should oot be encouraged.
不應該提倡減肥。
Losing weight should not be encouraged because it can do harm to our health. Now-adays , in order to be slim( 苗條的), many young girls have a fancy for losing weight. They eat1ittle every day, as a result, they can not get enough vitamins and minerals.
減肥對人們的健康有害因此不應該被鼓勵。如今，為了擁有苗條的身材，許多女孩迷戀上了減肥。她們每天節食導致身體不能攝入足夠的維生素和礦物質。
The fancy for losing weight is mis leading to our understanding of beauty. Many people take weight as an important factor to measure if one is beautiful enough. Thus more and more girls are on diet crazily, or even turning to medicine and operations for help.
人們對減肥的盲目迷誤導了大眾的審美觀。現在人們已把體重看作衡量一個人是否美麗的重要因素之一。這使得很多女孩瘋狂節食，甚至藉助藥物和手術的途徑以達到減肥的目的。
In my view, losing weight should not be encouraged.
依我看來，減肥這種行為不應當被鼓勵。
