You may use any words you like from the translation practice above. Also try to use as many words you’ve learned from this unit as possible. Your composition may include the following points:
1) How serious the problem of food waste is. 2) How to solve the problem.
Stop Wasting Food
With the rapid economic development in recent years, starvation is no longer a real threat to Chinese people. However, a new problem has arisen: food wastefulness. Every day, tons of food are thrown away by restaurants, canteens, supermarkets, and households. We are not only wasting our precious resources, but also polluting the environment with waste.
It’s time that we did something to stop wasting food. First, rules should be made so that everyone pays for his/her own meals. Government agencies and businesses should no longer allow their employees to have expensive meals at restaurants at public expense. Second, prices for such food items as rice should be raised to discourage people from wasting them. Third, young people should be educated to respect the hard work of farmers. Finally, the general food culture should be changed so that all people will have a healthy and balanced diet. (146 words) Came to the table out of bitter toil?
