(Students prepare a short talk.)

(Suggested answer)

In today's fast-moving world, people have less and less time to spend eating or cooking. This is one of the main reasons for the increasing popularity of junk food. Furthermore, the loss of tradition, partly brought about by the fact that the style of life represented on TV is fast, leads young people to believe that a fast lifestyle means excitement, whereas anything traditional is slow. As a result of this, young people are rejecting traditional food and turning to junk food.

However, junk food cannot only result in weight gain and poor skin, but can also increase the risk of cancer, and heart or liver disease.

On the other hand, eating healthy food has many positive effects. Firstly, it can reduce the risks of cancer and heart disease. In addition, it can help people gain a slim figure, glowing skin and an all-round feeling of good health.

In spite of the fact that majority of people are aware of the dangers of junk food, they continue to eat it. However, little do they seem to realize that by returning to traditional eating habits, not only would they feel healthier, but they would also be better equipped for their stressful lifestyle.
