    • Wang Jiajia, why did you comment so late?! That is the time that hardworking students should sleep already! But I looks like you even found some time to go through the lesson material (or at least part of it) as you have referred to some of the lesson content. Thank you.

    • Cynthia, I couldn't see from your comment that you have read through the lesson material. I hope you could follow the lesson today. And I hope you applied the rules of debate today you said you know!

    • Ann, you said you have read the title. Everyone has read the title! But, have you read the attachment and can you tell me about the content of the lesson? I wonder how many of you would know much more about the lesson tomorrow than just about the title (and comments from the others)? I'll test you tomorrow!

    • Tina, thanks for the comment, but what about taking more care when you comment next time ..? You made so many spelling errors, for example, "caneer", "dunk", "gorven""improtant"" without even correcting. There is a spell checker on this website (meaning it checks your spelling and tells you when it is incorrect by underlining the word in red) and before you post the reply, you can check all those words with red lines and correct it. Can it be so difficult?

    • Oh, so you think it is the schools that make money from the sale of the junk food, Zhou Ying? I thought it would be the foodstall owners! Okay, maybe they have to pay the schools for the right to sell on school premises.

    • Yes Mary, too much junk food can make a girl fat; so, be careful! But I don't think it is always unhealthy; it depends on how much and how often you est fast food, I believe.

  • hello,teacher.Junk food sales in schools is a common phenomenon.there are many supermarkets in schools,and the storekeeper will pay money to have right to run their store.we all known that junk food is not healthy for ourselves,but we usually eat them.i think if our school  don't allow the supermarket sale junk food we will have less chance to touch them.

    • Tian Jing, you have done it! Well done! I hope you could figure out what the problem was?! But I can't fully agree with your view ... Who says junk food (meaning fast food) is not completely unhealthy?! It's when we eat too much of it and too frequently that it would be unhealthy, but not if we do it moderately! ;-)

    • Thank you, Pauline. I am going to do this lesson with the evening classes too in a few weeks time. So, if you have a good understanding of the content now and tomorrow, you would be quite well-informed by the time I do the evening class! ;-)

    • Yes Ma Yuetong, I hope that I can see tomorrow that the students have sufficient knowledge about the lesson content to convince me that they have gone through the lesson properly ..!
