Sugar

Over the past decade, thanks largely to the enormous changes of health, an increasing number of people are concerned about the fitness of students. Although some people claim that students should have a choice in what they drink in school’s cafeteria, I, however strongly believe that school cafeterias should stop selling soft drinks and other high-sugar drinks.

Stop drinking soft drinks and other high-sugar drinks is a reasonable choice for students to keep their body in a good shape. The primary reason for this is that there are some students in our school are really unhealthy and fat because they drink a lot of high-sugar drinks every day and they never do any sports. The way to solve this problem is to drink more water instead of drinking high-sugar soft drinks and do some sports in that it makes them healthy.

This can be best illustrated with the example of my best friend Tommy Wang. Tommy has been my friend since primary school, we know each other for a very long time. When he was in fifth grade, he was a very fat and unhealthy boy in his class because he liked drinking high-sugar soft drinks, such as Coke, Sprite, and Fanta and so on. All of his classmates laughed at him and made fun of him which made him very depressed. After that, he aspired to reduce his fat by drinking more waters than other drinks. He started to not buy soft drinks from the cafeteria in the school. He made a plan that he needed to drink 5 bottles of water and do some exercise every day. By virtue of doing that, he became really strong and fit, all his classmates changed their altitude to him. Now he is one of my healthiest and strongest friends. Similar examples abound, evidently revealing that high-sugar soft drinks are harmful for one’s health. students in the school need to control themselves to not drink soft drinks is a good vehicle for them to keep their health.

To sum up, though the advantages of that students should have a choice in what they drink in school’s cafeteria enjoys are considerable, they cannot compete with the benefits that school cafeterias should stop selling soft drinks and other high-sugar drinks brings about, when health is taken into consideration.

My Spring Break

My Spring Break

This spring break I went back to my hometown, Shanghai. I really enjoyed it. I really missed my home and my family.

The first thing I did in China was eating. I ate a lot of Chinese food, such as Sichuan hot pot, Chinese Grill, Nanjing duck soup, and wonton. They were so delicious and tasty! I almost ate them every day. I think if you come to China, your stomach will also get in love with the food.

Second, I visited Tony Wei. He is one of my best friends in the Webb School. My parents and I had a dinner with his parents and him in a restaurant beside the Huangpu River. His mother told me that this restaurant is the best in Shanghai. The restaurant is a really famous restaurant. Its decoration is very old, but our food there makes us feel really amusing and relaxed.

Third, I traveled to Nanjing with my parents. We took about 4 hours to get there by car. Nanjing is the main city in Jangsu Province. It was one of the historical cities in China. It was the capital city of China in Ming dynasty. I visited the Zhongshan Tomb, the Presidential Palace, and the Temple of Confucious. On the way to the Presidential Palace, a taxi driver told us that although she was a person from Nanjing, but she thought a lot of people from Nanjing thought the city is not a really nice city.  Her words made me laughing, but I also thought the city is not really beautiful as I thought. I think no one likes the city even their people think the city is terrible.

This is what did during spring break. I had a lot of fun!
