In the past, people ate local food in season. Nowadays, people buy a variety of food from all over the world. Do advantages outweigh disadvantages?

高分范文及解析

Introduction

Diverse ranges of foods from around the globe, be they meat from the U.S., fruits from Thailand, or dairy products from Australia, are nowadays available to citizens. Personally, I consider this phenomenon as advantageous despite some flaws.

解析

老话题，“全球化”大话题下的小分支。去年刚考过类似话题，只是出题形式以“混合文”的方式出现：2021.07.03 Today some food travels thousands of miles from the farm to the consumers. Why is this? Is it a positive or negative trend?

Ø dairy product n. 乳品，乳制品

Body 1

Admittedly, it is justifiable for some to oppose such trend for various reasons, among which the most significant one is that this may to some extent hazard our health. This is mainly because some chemicals and preservatives will be added into the imported products for the purpose of guaranteeing their freshness and mouthfeel after the long-distance travel. Those additives are likely to exert a negative impact on our health. // However, such a reason in effect can hold no water. The quality is ensured as regulations on those internationally produced products are so strict that only the qualified ones can end up on the market. Besides, we now have sundry preservation techniques to cope with the possible losses during long-distance delivery.

解析

让步：为了保证经过长途运输，食品还能保持新鲜，会添加化学品和防腐剂，可能会影响健康//反驳：食品质量会经过严格管控，对人体有害的食物进不了市场 & 现有的科技可以解决保鲜问题

Ø hazard vt. 冒…的风险；使处于危险

Ø preservative n. 防腐剂

Ø mouthfeel n. 口感

Ø additive n. 添加剂

Ø exert vt. 施加

Ø hold no water 站不住脚的

Ø on the market进入市场待售

Body 2

As a matter of fact, behind importing globally produced foods are more gains. To commence, this can better the quality of life. It is by feasting on an array of food products that consumers can have a glimpse into exotic cuisines, gain a sound appetite, and set a more nutritionally balanced diet regardless of seasons. In this case, both their physical and spiritual demands can be satisfied. Additionally, both importing and exporting not only create more jobs available to local citizens, such intermediaries and haulers, but also spur business contact between countries, boosting the economy on both domestic and global levels.

解析

立论-好处：1. 个人层面：提升生活质量；2. 国家层面：促进贸易往来

Ø feast on v. 尽情享受

Ø appetite n. 胃口

Ø nutritionally balanced adj. 营养均衡的

Ø intermediary n. 中间人；调解人

Ø hauler n. 搬运工

Ø spur vt. 促进；孤立

Conclusion

In light of the above, the disadvantages of importing foods pale into insignificance when set against the advantages.
