A

　　A lot of people are crazy doing shopping through the Internet now. Why is it so popular? There are some reasons. First, more and more people have their own computers and their computers can be joined with the Internet. So it is possible for many of them to do shopping through the Internet. Second, shopping through the Internet can save them some money and a lot of time. Third, they don’t need to go to the shop themselves. Because of these good facts, few people refuse it.

　　On the other hand, some people don’t like this new way of shopping. They are worried about the safety of shopping on line. Customers(顧客) can only see the pictures of products(商品) on the Internet. And they can’t enjoy the pleasure of buying things in large supermarkets or some wonderful stores. These are the reasons why they do not like it.

　　But I think more and more people will like this new kind of shopping in the future.

　　When I drove to work yesterday, I met a traffic jam. As I looked out of my window, a handsome young man was walking on the street. He was walking towards the bridge. There were some homeless men with their cups around there. The young man went to one of them. He brought out some money from his pocket, said a few words to him and put the money into his cup. He continued to walk and then saw another homeless man. He stopped for a minute, said a few words and then gave the man a candy.

　　And then he saw the next homeless man. He was shivering because of coldness. The young man now stopped for a second and gave his scarf to him. He then said goodbye to him with a big smile and went away in the snow.

　　We all waste food, you and me, every day, millions of tons of it. In China, enough food is wasted in restaurants every year to feed 200 million people. And the amount of food wasted by Chinese consumers is increasing fast. So our nation is being encouraged to stop wasting food.

　　So what should Chinese consumers do to prevent food waste?

　　♦ Keep a kitchen diary

　　All of us should keep a kitchen diary, and we can know that how much food we waste at home. The first thing for us to do is to stop throwing away food that we can still eat. We should eat everything we buy and if we cannot, we should buy less.

　　♦ Buy only what we need

　　We should ask for smaller portions in stores. We should also check how much food we have before buying more. We shouldn’t bring much food we don’t need home even if large posters ask us to do so.

　　♦ Develop the habit of packing food

　　Chinese consumers are generous and friendly. In restaurants, often too much food is ordered and served. So when ordering out, we are supposed to exclude the food in the order if we don’t plan to eat it. And order smaller servings in restaurants and take home what we cannot finish.

　　Don’t put it off! Let’s stop food waste today!
