Day 102-英语学习打卡
Date:29th Jan
Topic:English Central-社交英语——Fast Food
今天学习的视频是English Central的每日推荐，虽然难度级别并不适合，但是Fast Food——Many people express their concerns that kids in Korea are becoming obese.依然是有娃的妈所关心的，于是，庆幸自己没有错过。
以下为视频文字：
When I was an elementary school student,...
...my parents used to take me and my sister to a fast food restaurant.
At that time, if I remember correctly, fast food was still fairly new in Korea.
The hamburger that I had for the first time in my life tasted really good.
It was different from anything that I had eaten before.
But I never knew how bad the food was for my health, either.
Today, fast food is very popular among young children.
Kids eating hamburgers, fried chicken or pizza with their parents...
...remind me of when I was their age.
The difference is, though, that I didn't get to have fast food as often as today's children do.
When I was growing up, having burgers and fries was like a special treat.
Sometimes, I wonder if that would still be the case with the kids these days.
I'm sure, to them, fast food is nothing different from rice and soup,......in the sense that they eat fast food so often.
Many people express their concerns that kids in Korea are becoming obese.
No wonder!
The parents need to watch more closely what their children are eating.
It is true that taking them to a fast food restaurant is easier than cooking a meal,......but they should know that they are putting their children's health in danger, too.
首先，这篇文字把国家换成中国，完全适用，作者的观点和经历也符合我的情况，其中的很多表达适用的场合很多，比如： Parents need to watch more closely.../ It is true that...is easier than...but they should know that ...in danger, too.
其次，想起前几天有位朋友要请教雅思高分的秘诀。每次考试前的焦虑和惶恐依然历历在目，如果换成现在，我绝对不会再去用“雅思救生圈”这样僵化的应考工具去准备，雅思考官早就看透甚至厌恶了中国考生们“言不由衷”的套路，导致口语和写作的得分全球排名倒数。
Fast Food就是雅思考试中极其常见和非常有代表性的话题，从自己的经历说到快餐的健康问题，以及对当代年轻人的意义，以及父母需要关注饮食对子女健康影响的责任，就是一个有血有肉，动之以情晓之以理的回答。
所以，如果我的5次备考经历真有什么值得借鉴的地方，我觉得英语学习还是要回到语言学习的“初心”——Communication between the world and yourself.
