   Nothing could be more shameful for McDonald’s and KFC. They are violating labour’s rights. The government must immediately bring the guilty to justice. A stricter government inspection system must be enforced to protect the workers.

It is known that McDonald’s and KFC and other fast-food restaurants pay the lowest wage they possibly can to get their employees. I think it’s kind of funny that these two restaurants have not yet set up unions. It is also known that they also take every possible measure e(legal, and sometimes illegal) to prevent their employees from forming or joining unions. I think it is high time that government enforced the law that they have made.

The deepest reason is that China has a large population. If you complain that the pay is very low, the boss will tell you that can go to other places and that there are a lot of people waiting for the job. Today finding a job is not very easy, so you don’t have many choices, and you have to face the reality.

Chip 2007-03-29 20:33

If wages were too low, people wouldn’t work for them, but they do, so it proves the wages are reasonable. Sure, they could raise the wages, but why should they? The workers are still working, still willing to show up on time, and it keeps costs lower. Were they to raise wages, they would have to FIRE more workers, and the price of burgers would go up. Then people wouldn’t buy them, then McDonald’s would once again FIRE more workers because of a reduced demand, and you’d be back in the same boat, just with less people working.

What are they debating about?

A.McDonald’s and KFC pay too low a salary to their employees.

B.Setting up a social security system.

C.Fast-food restaurants have no rights to fire workers.

D.McDonald’s and KFC will be punished for their behaviour.

According to Chip, it is____for McDonald’s and KFC to give employees a low salary.

A.unacceptable       B.shameful        C.acceptable        D.illegal

In the opinion of Cushman, the key to the problem is that____.

A.the social security net has not been set up

B.China has too large a population

C.the government has not taken stronger steps to protect workers

D.the unions have not played an important part to raise the wages.

The underlined word “they” in Nathan’s words refers to____.

A.the employees                          B.governments    

C.all the restaurants                        D.fast-food restaurants

D. Give a great speech with full preparations

E. You can win as long as you try your best

F. Determine your issues and keep your promises

How to convince your fellow students to vote for you in an election?

1._________________________________________

Think about why you want to run and what you want to do if you win. These are your issues. Then let people know what you will do if elected. When you do this, be careful not to make promises you can’t keep. Make sure your issues affect all students. If you promise to try to get the whole school painted your favourite color, students probably won’t vote for you. But, if you promise to get rid of that yucky(令人反感的)lunch menu item that no one likes, or raise money for more computers in the library, students will see that you are interested in things they care about, and they’ll vote for you.

2.____________________________________________

Keep it short, simple, and interesting, and students will remember you. Start by writing down your issues and the reasons you think you’re a good person for the job. This is the heart of the speech and will convince other students to vote for you. Start with a story to get people listening and then move on to your issues. Practice your speech so you get used to it, and you won’t be as nervous. Ask your parents or friends to listen a couple of times before the big day. When the time comes to give your speech, relax. You’ll be ready and the other students will notice.

3._____________________________________________

One of the best ways to get people to vote for you is to talk to them about it. Ask your friends to help. In many elections, people don’t vote at all. If you take the time to talk to them ,and remind them to vote, you’ll increase your chances of winning. Remind them why you’re running, and why they should vote for you. They’ll appreciate that you took the time to talk to them in person. And they’ll probably remember your name on the ballot(选票)!

4._____________________________________________

When you make your campaign posters, use a catchy slogan that helps other students remember your name. It can help you win votes. If you have trouble coming up with a catchy slogan, try searching the Internet. Don’t depend solely on posters. Your fellow students have to know why you’re running, and that’s why your speech and networking are so important.

5._______________________________________________

If you keep these things in mind, you can win your election. Just remember that you have to be prepared to work hard to help your fellow students improve your school.
