Reading Task 1. Read the text and answer the questions.
Fast food is the food of the future
It is difficult to imagine our life without fast food. It is gradually forcing out the
traditional cuisine, and many people are sure that fast food will dominate in the future.
In my opinion, fast food is really the thing of the future. First of all, people's life is
getting faster, and in the future it will reqire much quicker solutions in almost every sphere.
People will have to do things more quickly, including meals. The schedule of most people is
becoming tougher, so, eventually, they will not have enough time to eat properly. Fast food will
be the best suited for a quick meal. Sandwiches and burgers of various kinds are advertised and
sold on every corner, so people cannot resist a temptation of buying one. In the future, the
temptation will definitely grow on.
But there are people who believe that fast food will never dominate home-cooked meal
because of its harm to the health. It is common knowledge that this kind of food causes serious
illnesses, because it is made mostly from artificial substances.
Nevertheless I cannot support the opposing opinion because food production is being
perfected at a high rate, and future fast food is overwhelmingly likely to consist of healthy
ingredients.
In conclusion, I would like to emphasize the fact that the future is born in the present. If
we want to predict what
our life will look like in the years to come, we should pay attention to
the modem tendencies. As regards our meal, fast food is booming today, which means it will be
our basic food tomorrow.
