Scientists believe that eating fast food is harmful to one’s health. Some people think that education can help them change that bad habit. Others, however, argue that education does not work. Discuss both these views and give your own opinion. 科學家認為吃快餐有害健康，有人認為教育可以幫助人們改變這個不良習慣，有人認為教育不起作用， 討論兩種觀點。(2010年12月11日雅思考試題目 )
【薛鵬點評】討論兩種觀點，可以使用第一人稱口吻，也可以使用第三人稱口吻。
【作家立場】保障健康飲食，教育是起到一定的積極作用，但是，健康飲食不能僅僅依靠教育。
【思路拓展】
①青少年是快餐的主要消費者，快餐含有過多的糖分、脂肪、熱量，長期食用有害健康。所以，青少年應該成為教育的主體。
②為了減少快餐對於消費者的不良影響，除了教育以外，政府也該承擔責任。例如，美國政府已經限制肯德基捆綁銷售兒童套餐的商業行為。
【範文賞析】
【首段】背景介紹+ 作家立場
So prevailing are the fast foods that some teenagers are in the habit eating junk foods nearly every week. From the perspective of some nutritionists, too much intake of sugar, calorie and fat is undoubtedly health-threatening, for fast food, in most cases, is low in nutritional value. People differ greatly in their views as to how to foster wholesome dietary habit. As I see it, educating the public about the dangers of unhealthy eating, regulating baneful sales and food advertisements to children and lowering the price of healthy foods should be used together to help people keep fit.
【二段】
Granted, one effective way to promote a healthy diet is to educate people about the potential risks of unhealthy diet. Modern people might opt for healthier meals and snacks if they are taught that fast foods are high in salt, fat and sugar. To illustrate, I myself changed my unwholesome eating habits after watching television programs on how to preserve health. Also, while it is of great significance to educate adult eater, schoolchildren should be main target for education because they are not only in their formative years but also the regular eaters of fast foods.
【三段】
In addition to education, other ways to promote healthy eating are not far to seek. First, methods should be adopted to strictly censor those junk food advertisement aiming at children. Meanwhile, bundle sale of children』 meals by giving out gift toys ought to be banned. Virtually, American has already enacted relevant legislations to restrict such sale promotion of KFC and Mcdonald's. Also, it is imperative for the governments to ensure that healthy foods are cheaper so that people could afford to buy the wholesome foods. Imaginably，the decreased price of fresh fruits and vegetable could enable more people to enjoy healthier foods.
【尾段】
Overall, education could aid people to change bad eating habits. However, it also works to restrain the improper publicity and sale of fast food restaurant as well as lower the price of wholesome foods
