Answer 1

Since the CCTV program exposed the wrong doings by a McDonald’s restaurant in Beijing，the safety of food has become a hot topic．What shall we do to fight for our rights and interests？
First，before buying food，we need to check the date and see whether it is overdue．（检查是否过期）Then we should study carefully what we buy and decide if it is fresh or it goes bad．（识别是否新鲜）（高分句型）After we pay for the food，we should get the invoice and take good care of it．（保管发票）Last but not the least，if we find there’s a problem with the food，call 12315 or go to local Consumer Association for help．（寻求帮忙）（高分句型）
Food safety is of great importance in our daily life．In my opinion，the government should take action to punish the producers and companies that went against consumers’rights．On the other hand，we should learn to be wise consumers．（我的看法）
