You must have gotten used to the food waste that can be seen everywhere in the school restaurants. Recently, this problem was brought back into discussion when China started an “empty-plate” campaign（运动）.
CCTV news media explained the importance of saving food to us. At the center was criticism（批评）of Muk-bang, also known as “eating shows”. As the hosts want to get attention and money, they overeat to satisfy the curiosity（好奇心）of people. However, what you see is not always the truth. The hosts pretend（假装）to eat 50 hamburgers in front of the camera. While behind the truth, they throw up the food that they have eaten. The food waste caused by eating shows is shocking and worrying.
“Eating show” hosts not only waste food, but also make the idea of wasting things acceptable. Young people may be easily influenced by them. They may throw away some of the food they order at school. They should feel sorry about such behavior, but their favorite “eating show” hosts now make them believe that’s all right. Millions of people across China and the world don’t have enough food to eat. The food you waste could have meant a lot to them.
Different people can do different things to help reduce food waste. Schools and restaurants can start serving smaller size. Besides, students must learn more about the hard-working people who spend their time and energy growing food. Next time, think before you order: Do you really need so much on your plate.

Four Simple Ways to Better Your Writing
Keep It Simple
My first tip for improving your writing is: keep it simple.
Now, I know it’s better to keep things simple and do it well, rather than over-complicate(使过分复杂) everything and do it badly.
So, in English writing exams, you want to show off your English, but you want to show off your right English, not all this English that you don’t know or haven’t learnt yet.
Have a Collection of Set Phrases(固定搭配)
In order not to make mistakes, it’s a really, really good idea to have a collection of set phrases and key words that you can use in the exam. Make sure that you have different ways to …
Compare: in the same way, at the same time
Give your opinion: from my point of view, in my view
Add information: in addition, besides
……
So, that’s just a very brief list showing you exactly what you need to study to be fully prepared for any English writing exam.
Reduce Your Word Number
Use as few words as possible to reduce your word number.
Avoid pointless words like very, a lot. Replace them, instead, with a strong word. By using strong words, you can reduce your word number by a fair bit.
Another way is avoiding there is and there are. We want everything to be as clear as possible. Thus, you can increase the quality of your writing.
Check Your Work
Tip number four. Students will make some stupid mistakes when they’re writing. After being asked to correct the mistakes, they will say, “We already know this. So easy!” and it’s because they don’t check their work.
I personally think it’s much better if you write less and check more. Fewer words, high accuracy(准确率). Then you will make your writing better.

The Colour Run offers a more enjoyable and healthy experience compared to traditional running races. It is famous around the world.

He started the first “Colour Run” and 6, 000 runners took part in it. Now it is held every year in many cities around the world with millions of people. In the activity, the runners start the run wearing something white, and at every kilometre people paint them in different colours: 1K is yellow, 2K is blue, 3K is green, 4K is pink… a big colour show!

【推荐2】Breaking a bone (骨头) is not fun. It’s normal, especially if you play sports. It is a big shock to your whole body and can hurt. Besides feeling painful around the broken bone, you may also feel dizzy or get chills (头晕或发冷).
If you fall or hurt yourself and you think you might have broken a bone, don’t panic (慌)! Tell an adult or a teacher about what happened. They will help you get the proper medical attention. The doctor might take an X-ray, which can help the doctor see inside your body. If the doctor finds out your bone is broken, they might put a cast (石膏) on it. A cast is like a hard bandage that protects your broken bone while it gets better. It’s important to keep the cast dry and clean. You might not be allowed to do some activities or sports for a while, but it’s only temporary (暂时的). Soon enough, your bone will get better, and you’ll be back to playing and having fun.
So, have you ever broken a bone? If you have, don’t worry it happens to many people, and they all get better with time. Just remember to be safe and have fun!

【推荐1】When you and your family go out for dinner, have you noticed how many dishes you usually order and how much food is left over?
Following the Anti-Food Waste Law adopted in April 2020, China has stepped up its efforts to waste less food by issuing（颁发） an action plan in December.
The plan, issued by the State Council（国务院）, requires reducing food waste through the whole course, not just at the dinner table. This includes crop production, transportation, processing and consumption. It hopes to set up a monitoring（监管）system to reduce food loss and waste, reported China Daily.
In the food production stage, it is required that better crop species（物种）and seeds be carefully chosen to increase harvests. Agricultural machines should also be improved to reduce farming waste. Regarding food storage issues, the plan encourages old warehouses（仓库）to be renovated（翻新）and put to use.
The plan also requires canteens（餐厅）to offer smaller portions（份）, as well as advise customers on ordering and monitoring food buying. Leftovers should be collected for other possible uses, such as animal feed. Videos showing people eating large quantities of food and other related media content that could cause or encourage food waste will be not allowed to be posted or shared.

To further pushed for the reduction of food waste and loss, a new plan has been issued by the State Council. The plan hopes to reduce food waste and loss through the whole course,
CCTV reported that every year Chinese people throw away a lot of food which can feed 200 million people for a year.
Do we have too much food? Of course not. According to the UN World Food Programme, there were 900 million hungry people all over the world in 2013. About six million children die of hunger every year.
So think about it. We should say no to people who waste food every day. An old saying goes, “Every grain on the plate comes from hard work.” It tells us everybody must save food.
Luckily, a number of people have realized the importance of saving food. Li Hong, a waitress in a restaurant in Jiangsu, once lost her job because she took some leftover(剩余的) food home for her son. But many people were by her side and criticized (批评) the waste of food.
What should we do in our daily life to stop wasting food? We can do many things to prevent it from happening. Here are some tips:
Don't order too much food in a restaurant. Only order as much as you can eat. If you can’t eat all the food you order, take the rest of it home.
Don’t be too picky(挑剔的) about food. some food may not be tasty, but our body need it.
Don’t keep too much food at home, especially for fruit and vegetables.

【推荐3】Over 30 percent of all food produced goes to waste, according to The United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (联合国粮农组织). Supermarkets throw away food that is not sold before its sell-by date, while families throw away food that they can’t finish eating. To stop food waste, some people have come up with great ideas. Take a look for yourself.
Food bank
The world’s first food bank was created in the US in 1967. The bank took donations (捐献) of food from people and stores that had extra food. People could then go to the food bank and take the food home if they could not afford to buy any for themselves. In Shanghai, there is a "shared fridge" in some communities. It stores (储存) food that is donated by nearby markets and restaurants. It is free for anyone to take.
Pay as you like
A UK company called The Real Junk Food Project says that food that has passed its sell-by date is still safe to eat. They collect this food from supermarkets and sell it in cafes. You only have to pay as much as you feel is necessary.
If you don’t want to spend money, you can volunteer at the cafes instead. There are now 125 Real Junk Food cafes worldwide. And the number is growing quickly.
Buy less
What else can we do to stop food waste? The answer is simply buying less food. There are millions of people around the world who still don’t have enough to eat. We should be more careful about how we shop for food.
