KFC Vs McDonald's


I think you can see two restaurants all over the world. One is KFC(Kentucky Fried Chicken) and another one is McDonald's. When I am a high school student, I often go to KFC with my friends. I don't like McDonald's, because I think some of the foods there taste not good as KFC. There are also some commons and differences between the foods, culture and business models. 

KFC and McDonald's both make fast food. The main food of them are some kinds of chicken, hamburger, side order, drink, dessert and so on. When I want to have a rest after shopping, I often go there to have something to eat and drink. I like  Ice cream float-coffee and McFurry very much.  New Orleans roasted wing and McNuggets are delicious, too. The environment of KFC and McDonald's are both good. The attendants are often smile to customers and their service attitude is so friendly. They both have their very famous and special logo. When the grandpa with white beard or the funny red clown appears, almost all the people know what it is. They don't use star to advertise their foods. KFC often use normal people, because they think their best star is the customer who eats food in KFC restaurant. McDonald's use the clown to advise because they think it will not cost too much and the clown is not a real person and he will never make bad things. They are both the world-class chains of fast food in the world. 

The foods in KFC are often some kinds of chicken, like  original recipe,  hot wing,  popcorn chicken and so on. McDonald's foods are more varies and the main food is not chicken. The slogan of KFC is 'We Do Chicken Right' and the slogan of McDonald's is 'I'm lovin' it'. KFC often make new food to follow the culture of the country, like  dragon twister. KFC is more successful in China because of its special business model and mature strategy.

The speed of people's life is more and more quick. Sometimes the fast food is not nutritious but it can give us satisfaction in the shortest time. So we can enjoy it and have a good time with our friends in both of them.

Weihai And Shanghai



My university is in Weihai, Shandong Province and the city is near the Yellow Sea. When I was sophomore, I tripped to Shanghai once. It is near a sea, too. The name of the sea is East China Sea. Although both of them is near by a sea, they also has a lot of difference of food, culture, public transportation, tourist attractions and night-life. 

In Weihai, people often eat wheaten food like steamed bread, noodle, pie and so on. But Shanghai is the economy central of China, so it involved most kinds of food in China, including Guangdong food, Sichuan food and so on. Sometimes people in Shanghai like to eat some desserts. The main culture of Weihai is Rushan Drum and Yangge. Yangge is like some kind of dance, but it is more civilian. In Shanghai, the main culture is Haipai Culture. It is very special and it is so popular in Shanghai and the cities nearby. In Wehai, bus and taxi are the main public transportation. And in Shanghai, subway is the most important public transportation, bus too. If you want to feel the most modern city in China, I think you must go to Shanghai. And the history of Shanghai is about 2500 years, so you can see some traditional culture, too. If you want to have a wonderful seaside trip, you can go to Weihai. Because the beach is so clean and beautiful. And the air in Weihai is so fresh. But if you want to go to club to have a nice night, you should go to Shanghai. Because in Weihai, people go home so early. But in Shanghai, the city often seems like not sleeping. 

I like both of the two cities. I am a senior now, and if I graduate I will have little chance to go to Weihai. But I think if I have some chances, I will go Weihai and Shanghai again to feel the different culture in China.

Opposite Thinking About Calcium And Milk


We know that we can get calcium from milk or other dairy product. Some research shows that it is not the best way to get calcium. Dairy product also has a lot negative effects. If you drink too much milk, you will get a lot of fat and this will make us not healthy.

We need to keep ourselves healthy so that then we can do what we want. But everything has an opposite hand. As if we drink too much alcohol, it will hurt our nerve. However sometime we need to drink a little to make our blood cycle more fast. So if we want to content ourselves and be health, we must do everything with abstinence.

I think we don't know how long we will live in this world. There are so many accidents and disaster everywhere everyday. What we can do is just enjoying the life we have. As that milk can help us and hurt us, if we know the limit then we can enjoy it. So we love drinking milk, then we can drink. Although it is helpless or other reasons.
