Fast food is still very popular these days
although it often contains too much fat,
sodium and calories. Why do so many
people prefer it despite knowing that it is
unhealthy? To begin with, it is easy to
prepare and practical to eat. Besides, it is
easily found and has many kinds. At any
shopping mall, for example, customers have
many choices at the food court. To avoid too
much fat or salt, they can choose healthier
options: salads, turkey sandwiches and so
on. On a busy Saturday, with two hungry
kids, a mother out shopping is happy to find
exactly the right food to eat in a short time.
Last but not least, fast food is also cheap;
most menu items offer a full meal for under
ten dollars. All these reasons make fast food
so popular.

A)
B)
When men and women are together, there
are two worlds - his and hers. They have
different values, ways of thinking and habits.
Scientists accept that a few of the
differences between men and women are
biological. Men’s and women’s brains, for
example, are different. The way they use
them is different, too. Women have larger
connections between their brain’s left and
right parts. This gives women the ability to
have better learning and speaking skills.
Men, on the other hand, have greater
separation between the left and right parts of
their brains. This explains their skills for

The tornado is like a giant vacuum cleaner
which sucks up anything in its path. The
great power of tornadoes is almost
unbelievable. It can tear up trees, carry
buildings away, and can even lift large trucks
off the highway. The most violent force of
tornado is found inside them, where there is
a powerful vacuum. This vacuum is the
cause of the great power of tornado. When
the vacuum moves over a place where the air
pressure is under normal, the sudden
change in the air pressure creates a very
strong wind. This wind can damage
everything on its way. Now, you can imagine
that a tornado is a great natural disaster
causer.
