foods and foods of poor quality the safety of food remains a serious probleminthis industry Food born diseases are largely responsible for high levels of sickness and mortalityinthe general public particularly for infants young children and the elderly There are various reasons for this heart breaking fact In my opinion the responsibility goes for the most part to the food producers especially those who fail to meet safety standards In order to make the most profit some food producers may even intentionally use such chemicals as pesticides animal drugs etc during manufacturing and processing just to make food look or taste good Atthe sametime thegovernment departments responsible for quality control fall to fulfill their duties which makes thedanger turn into a reality Besides the media actually cheat the customersintheir deliberate efforts to advertise the problematic food To make sure the food we eat is safe the supervision of food production should be highly responsible What s more itis important for the government to drastically increase legal penalties on those who neglect food safety regulations Nevertheless the general public should be more aware that a healthy life relies on thesafety of foodstuff 寫作點撥 本文要求就食品安全問題展開討論 根據(jù)提綱 第一段陳述目前食品安全的現(xiàn)狀 及其對人 民身體健康的危害 第二段分析造成食品安全問題的原因 第三段針對食品安全問題提出應對 的措施 Part Reading Comprehension Skimming and Scanning Directions
