Fast Food

Nowadays people have changed their eating habits for different reasons, sometimes people don’t have enough time to eat, they have different shifts in their jobs, and it is a serious problem for their health. Fast food industries have grown in the last years, nowadays in all the malls or cities we can find restaurants like Taco Bell or McDonalds, and people eat in these places many times. Fast Food industries have created different ways to attract people, for example they put toys in different foods to attract children or they made offers in social networks, and it produces a lot of customers day by day. A fast food restaurant is a great idea for a business, because they buy their ingredients in big quantities and it is very cheap, their ingredients are very common and most of them very cheap, unlike formal restaurants, because they use a lot of ingredients and they have more production costs than fast food restaurants so their dishes are more expensive. Also we have to think that the big part of the customers of that kind of food are young people and they usually don´t worry about what they eat, they think more in prices.

The problem of the fast food is the big number of calories and diseases that they produce in humans, they have a lot of microorganisms that are dangerous for our body. Fast Food Industries don´t hire a chef to prepare their food, many times the waiters or the cashiers do these labors and they also cook and it is not healthy. It is so common in a fast food restaurant to see that they have a little kitchen in which many people work, it produces many problems because most of the time someone forgets ingredients or someone puts in our food more than necessary and it is not good for our body. Few years ago the owners of these restaurants did not inform people about the calories and some ingredients that are not healthy in their foods, but nowadays there are laws that force people to tell what things they are preparing and selling and their components. Fast Food industries many times break the health laws and people don´t want to see the danger to which they are exposed to save money in many cases.

Many doctors forbid their patients to eat this kind of food, because most of them think that this food don´t provide anything to the good health. Fast Food includes things that our body needs, some dishes have properties that our body needs, but we can get this properties in other kind of food. Have a good diet doesn´t mean to stop eating all the products that we can eat in a Fast Food restaurant, we have to eat meals like chicken or fish, but we can prepare them at home, using less fat and preservatives. Fast food industries have changed some of the dishes to make the menus more healthier, they have included salads, sandwiches, teas and other kind of food, but they have a poor quality and have a lot of preservatives many times and it is unhealthy because they don´t use fresh products. But if we are in the job and we have to lunch, it is preferable to eat the “healthy” dishes in a fast food restaurant than a hamburger, pizza, hot dog or fried chicken.

People have to be careful when they eat.  Having a good diet is eating but in a healthy manner, we have to consume products that we can find in Fast Food restaurant, but we can prepare them in a different way. People have to know that having a good diet, doesn´t mean that we have to forget that we can eat a hot dog, a pizza or an hamburger one time per month, because it is nice to eat this kind of food with friends or with the family. People have to visit with the doctor frequently, and a nutritionist if they don´t have a good diet, because gastric diseases are one of the most frequent diseases in people and produce a lot of deaths annually in the world and fast food is one of the big causes. We have to avoid visiting Fast Food Restaurants frequently and teach our parents and children about the problems that we can experiment if we eat in these places very frequently.  If we teach these kinds of things we can reduce gastric diseases in our family. People have to be kept informed about the problems of that kind of food, and report to the authorities if they see problems in this kind of restaurants when they visit these establishments.

Dependency on technology

Technology is one of the most important human´s inventions in history and nowadays we can say that is the base of many human activities. Technology has changed people´s lives; it has changed the way in which we communicate with others, in which we study. Years ago people thought that technology was not a good idea because people in those times did everything using only their minds. But when technology appeared people was impressed and happy because it came with new ways to do things faster and easier. Slowly people began do things only with technology and forgot all the things that they did without it, and that is the actual problem, the dependency.
Today, industries, schools and hospitals use technology like their basis for do everything they have to do. Researches discovered that the excessive use of the technology is dangerous and they think that people have become totally dependant on technology. People has forgotten how to visit and talk with their friends and family face to face, and a lot of things that they did in the past and today everything has changed for an easier lifestyle. It is for this reason that people have to learn how use technology, because it is very important for the world but also is a serious problem when people don’t know how use it. We have to know that technology has some advantages but also many disadvantages and learn how use the technology in a healthy manner.

For example some advantages of technology are that if we use technology we can communicate with our family in an easier way, we can do our job faster and easier in the office and we can access a lot of information for do homework or study. Technology is the most important thing for the industry because with technology people make machines that produce a lot of things.  Another use of the technology is for the environment, people have developed different projects to reduce contamination, like electric cars, or different ways to produce new kinds of energy. Technology has helped humans for important discoveries in history, for example technology has allowed people to travel to the moon and discover a lot of things in space, or it has also allowed science to discover a lot of cures for different diseases that killed people in the past. It also has many advantages in society because it helped people in education using internet to teach children.

But people have to know that technology also has problems for example, technology has permitted to make faster productions. Another problem is that people want to do all the things using technology and humans are replaced by machines. Technology produces separation in the society because some countries are considered more powerful than other for the technology that they have. In the society love consumism, because every day new machines appear. Finally the biggest problem of the technology is the addiction because it makes people addicted to machines and different implements that they use, and they can’t do without. We have to learn to use it to make our like easier but not permit that technology rules our life.

My favorite song

My favorite song currently is “let her go”, I really like this song, I love the music and the lyric is beautiful. He talks about something that is so true… and is that we not appreciate what we have until we lose. It happens with everything, sometimes we think everybody always will stay with us, but it isn't until we lose them, that we see how important they were in our lives.

 

Passenger – Let Her Go Lyrics

Well you only need the light when it's burning low
Only miss the sun when it starts to snow
Only know you love her when you let her go
Only know you've been high when you're feeling low
Only hate the road when you're missing home
Only know you love her when you let her go
And you let her go

Staring at the bottom of your glass
Hoping one day you'll make a dream last
But dreams come slow and they go so fast
You see her when you close your eyes
Maybe one day you'll understand why
Everything you touch, oh it dies

But you only need the light when it's burning low
Only miss the sun when it starts to snow
Only know you love her when you let her go
Only know you've been high when you're feeling low
Only hate the road when you're missing home
Only know you love her when you let her go

Staring at the ceiling in the dark
Same old empty feeling in your heart
'Cause love comes slow and it goes so fast
Well you see her when you fall asleep
But never to touch and never to keep
'Cause you loved her too much and you dive too deep

Well you only need the light when it's burning low
Only miss the sun when it starts to snow
Only know you love her when you let her go
Only know you've been high when you're feeling low
Only hate the road when you're missing home
Only know you love her when you let her go
And you let her go
Oh oh oh no

'Cause you only need the light when it's burning low
Only miss the sun when it starts to snow
Only know you love her when you let her go
Only know you've been high when you're feeling low
Only hate the road when you're missing home
Only know you love her when you let her go

An Important past event

My first trip to the beach

 Since I was little I had always wanted to go to the beach but my mother doesn't like the beach, so I never have been able to go. It wasn't until my 10th birthday that my mother asked me what I wanted for my birthday and I told her that I wanted go to the beach with all my family. A few minutes later I went to my grandparents' house and I invited them, also my aunt and uncle. I prepared my luggage very happy and I went to sleep early.

 The next day we went by bus to the beach, I was anxious. When we arrived we were very tired but when I saw the waves I forgot everything and got into the sea. This beach had many boats and my mom let me get on one, but I really dislike it, because I got really dizzy. I took many pictures, because for me all in this beach was awesome, the nature was wonderful and it had many beautiful animals. And I made too many sandcastles everywhere.

 In the evening we watched the sunset and we made a campfire and we sang many songs. The next day we had to return but I didn’t want to and then I began to cry. In this way ended my trip to the beach. But this really was the most wonderful trip of my life.

My Oral Presentation

My presentation was a top 10 about the weirdest restaurants around the world. In this pictures you can see 5 of the 10 weirdest restaurants. Well The Tree House Restaurant in my opinion is cute, but how often you see a restaurant 10 meters up a redwood tree? that makes it weird. The others have a lot of characteristics which make them very weird but not really cute.

Tree House Restaurant (New Zealand)

A380 In-Flight Restaurant (Taipei)

Count Dracula Club Restaurant (Bucharest)

Clothing Optional Restaurant (New York)

Cannibalistic Sushi (Tokyo)
