Fast Food
　　Fast food is becoming more popular in China, especially among children and teenagers. Today, it's certainly difficult to think of any other single thing that mirrors the fast pace of modern society as powerfully as fast food.
　　There are several reasons for its popularity. First, it is very convenient and saves a lot of time. The trends of modern society seem to all point to one ultimate goal - saving time, and fast food well serves this purpose. Second, its popularity is also attributed to the clean and comfortable environment of fast food restaurants, the excellent service, and the guaranteed quality of food.
　　However, in terms of nutrition, fast food is far from satisfaction. It usually does not compose a balanced diet and doctors suggest that people, especially children, eat fast food as little as possible.
　　Therefore, fast food is only a good choice when you are in a hurry and turn to it once in a while.              (157 words)

快 餐
　　快餐在中国变得越来越流行了，尤其在孩子们和青少年之中。如今，很难想象某一种事物能够像快餐一样如此强烈地反映出现代社会的快节奏。
　　快餐的流行存在多方面的原因。首先，快餐十分便捷，节省时间。现代社会的趋势似乎都指向了一个终极目标--节省时间，而快餐很好地实现了这一目标。其次，快餐厅干净舒适的环境、优质的服务以及质量有保证的食物也是导致快餐流行的原因。
　　然而，从营养学角度看，快餐远无法达到令人满意的程度。通常，快餐的饮食结构并不平衡，医生建议人们，尤其是孩子们，尽量少吃快餐。
　　因此，只有当你赶时间的时候，快餐才是好的选择，偶尔吃上一两次很不错。
