观点类大作文，社会类话题：
This is another great essay of opinion. It is not difficult on the whole. The topic itself is very life-oriented. The replacement of traditional food by international fast food is a scene that everyone can encounter in daily life. Everyone has contact with McDonald's, KFC, Pizza Hut and so on. pass. Next, I will take you to take a look at the negative effects and how to oppose this viewpoint.
往往是油炸、高脂肪、高热量
Negative effects can be viewed separately from society and family according to the topic,
There are three main aspects of society. First, traditional food is often a component of traditional culture, and there are many cultural values and commemorative significance behind the food. Therefore, if traditional food is replaced by international fast food, it will be a loss to the traditional culture of society. Second, the replacement of traditional food means that its market occupancy rate becomes smaller, which will have an impact on related jobs and the traditional food industry. Third, in order to facilitate consumption and attract people to buy, international fast foods are often fried, high-fat, and high-calorie. Compared with traditional foods, they are not good for people's health.
国际快餐文化的写作思路
From a family perspective, preparing and eating traditional food at home is often a link in family communication and expressing emotions. If it is replaced by international fast food, the meaning behind it will be greatly reduced. (For example, if your boyfriend made a dinner for you in order to express his love for you, you may be touched, but if he buys you a KFC, you may want to beat him.)
Then we look at the opposition angle.
人们对进口快餐的偏见呈现为负面是不合理的。
First, the pace of society is accelerating. In order to adapt to the fast-paced life, for people who are busy with work and study, the rest time is not enough to enjoy traditional food, and international fast food is undoubtedly more convenient.
麦当劳、肯德基、必胜客
The second is that international fast food is also improving in the development process. For example, in order to cater to society's health concerns, many international fast foods are now also launching vegetable salads or other healthier foods.
Third, international fast food itself is also a cultural symbol. For people who want to learn about foreign cultures, international fast food is undoubtedly an entrance and a way.
这又是一道观点类大作文，整体来说不难，题目本身非常生活化，传统食物被国际快餐所替代是大家日常能够遇到的场景，麦当劳、肯德基、必胜客等等大家多多少少都接触过。下面月半鸭来带大家一起看下负面影响有哪些，以及反对这个观点又该如何说。#快餐#
负面影响根据题目可以从社会和家庭分别来看，
社会主要有3方面。一是传统食物往往是传统文化的组成部分，食物的背后蕴含了许多文化价值和纪念意义，因此如果传统食物被国际快餐所取代，这对于社会传统文化是一种损失。二是传统食物被替代意味着其市场占用率变小，这对于相关就业岗位和传统食品产业都会造成冲击。三是国际快餐为了方便食用以及吸引人购买，往往是油炸、高脂肪、高热量居多，相比传统食物，其对于人们的健康是不利的。
国际快餐为了方便食用以及吸引人购买
而家庭角度来看，在家制作和食用传统食物，往往也是家庭沟通交流和表达情感的环节，如果被国际快餐所取代，其背后的含义也就大大降低了。（比如，你男朋友为了表达对你的爱意，亲手给你做了一顿晚餐，你可能会感动，但他要是给你买了一顿肯德基，你可能会想打他。）然后我们来看下反对角度。#传统#
一是社会节奏加快，为了适应快节奏的生活，对于忙于工作和学习的人来说，休息时间并不足以享用传统食物，国际快餐无疑更加方便。
二是国际快餐在发展过程中也在改进，比如为了迎合社会对于健康的关注，许多国际快餐现在也在推出蔬菜色拉或是其它更加健康的食品。
三是国际快餐本身也是一种文化符号，对于想要了解异国文化的人们来说，国际快餐无疑是一种入口和途径。#食物#
There is an impending trend that many people prefer international fast foods to domestic products nowadays. While it is assumed that this trend will give rise to repercussions for local families and society, I will disagree with this claim due to the irrelevant connections behind the claim.
越来越多的人喜欢国际快餐而不是国内产品，这是一个迫在眉睫的趋势。虽然假设这种趋势会对当地家庭和社会产生影响，但我不同意这种说法，因为这种说法背后有不相关的联系。
越来越多的人喜欢国际快餐而不是国内产品
There seems to be reasons as to why people’s preference for imported fast food begets undesirable consequences. For those who think in this way, this trend may be considered by parents as a symptom of the fading away of national identity within younger generations, given that the traditional foods of their own country are manifestation of its lifestyle, customs and tradition. Also, at the social level, indigenous products being ousted by international brands may put local food and farming industry in jeopardy: the faddism will inevitably result in the shrinkage of revenue for local business.
人们偏爱进口快餐会导致不良后果似乎是有原因的。对于有这种想法的人来说，这种趋势可能被父母认为是年轻一代民族认同感逐渐消失的征兆，因为他们自己国家的传统食品是其生活方式、习俗和传统的体现。此外，在社会层面，本土产品被国际品牌驱逐可能会危及当地的食品和农业：时尚主义不可避免地导致当地企业的收入缩水。#社会#
Plausible though the above misgivings seem, it is oversimplified to assume the prevalence of international brands in the local food market to be a negative tendency. Those critics are oblivious to the fact that the ramifications of any social episodes are outcomes of complex causal configurations that act conjointly – the relevance between the phenomenon and its implications are not as straightforward as they assume; based on this understanding, the discussion can then move on to questions as to which social aspects are more desirable in the local context or what the local stakeholders value more. Moving back to the cultural meaning bound up with food, youngsters’ fascination with foreign fast foods may also intrigue their interests in exotic lifestyles and cultures. One convincing example can be seen in the popularity of Mcdonald's across the globe, from which people can perceive the efficient lifestyle
of America.
尽管上述疑虑看似合理，但将国际品牌在当地食品市场的盛行视为一种负面趋势过于简单化。这些批评者没有意识到任何社会事件的后果都是复杂因果结构共同作用的结果——现象与其影响之间的相关性并不像他们假设的那么简单；基于这种理解，讨论可以继续讨论哪些社会方面在当地环境中更受欢迎，或者当地利益相关者更看重什么。回到与食物相关的文化意义，年轻人对外国快餐的迷恋也可能引起他们对异国生活方式和文化的兴趣。一个有说服力的例子是麦当劳在全球的流行，人们可以从中感受到美国高效的生活方式。
From what has been discussed above, I don’t believe it is reasonable to render people’s bias for imported fast foods negative without taking into account the contexts.
从上面讨论的内容来看，我认为在不考虑上下文的情况下，将人们对进口快餐的偏见呈现为负面是不合理的。
年轻人对外国快餐的迷恋也可能引起他们对异国生活方式和文化的兴趣。
