Not Satisfied with School Canteen Food
TASK 4:
You are not most satisfied with the food provided at your school canteen and would like to convince your principal or the school management to change the vendors or the food sold at the canteen. Imagine that you have been granted an interview with the principal. Prepare a speech to express your opinions to the principal.

SPEECH:
Introduction:
Good morning principal. Today, I would like to raise an issue on the food in our school’s canteen. I have been in this school for 6 years and the food was delicious, however, recently, I have noticed some flaws in our school’s food system.
Prices Too High:
Firstly, I would like to bring up the issue of the food being too expensive for many children to afford. When I accompany my mother to shopping trips outside, and have noted that the food outside are much cheaper than the food sold in Nan Hua although they were the same. As supermarkets like “Sheng Siong” are big companies and our school is only a small school, it is expected that the prices in the markets should be cheaper than that in our school. However, I find the prices in our school really very outrageous.
For example, once when I was in a supermarket, I saw a particular snack that our school sold. The price was S$0.80 for 5 packets, however in our school the price was S$0.40 for each packet.
Another example is the cheese sausage sold at the “Chinese Cuisine” store. The price was S$1.00 for one sausage while outside, it was sold as 5 in a packet for S$2.50. The prices are outrageous in our school! S$1.00 is the Primary Ones and Twos‘ pocket money for a day and they could not possibly spent all their money on one sausage!

Bad Attitude To Children:
The second issue is our school vendors’ attitude. Being in Primary Six, I seldom encountered someone scolding me or trying to cheat me of my money. However, I do often see lower primary pupils, especially the Primary Ones and Twos, being have to bear the vendor’s temper when he or she was

    The subject matter selected is should changes be made to the regulations for foods that were served in public schools. This issue is selected because of two reasons, first, and education is the base of progress on each level, whether it is on an individual, social, economic or at national level(s).

    Recently there has been revisions to the National School Lunch Program (NSLP) and schools were required to overhaul their entire menus to provide the students with healthy and nutritious foods including fruits and vegetables. The new school lunch rules are part of the Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act of 2010 which has been implemented this fall. (Post Standard) The Hunger Act allows the USDA the opportunity to make reforms to the school lunch and breakfast programs. With these revisions come strict guidelines from the federal government that each school district must follow in order to receive funding and reimbursement (National School Lunch Program, 2012, August p. 1). In this essay i will be comparing the positive and negative effects of these recent revisions to the NSLP. I will then discuss whether or not these changes are beneficial to the children receiving the meal and whether NSLP is leaving children hungry or helping children make healthy food choices.…

    First, students are not buying these new, healthier lunches because they cannot enjoy them. The lunches from before and the lunches now are so drastically different from before they find it hard to eat.

Something must be done or majority of students will either eat home lunches or simply not eat at all, which is bad for their health and will hurt them.…

    I’m very sorry that I must do this, but you basically brought us to this. The School lunches are Disgusting! It tastes like it came out of the trash can! I mean it even looks like it’s a piece of trash! I doubt you would know because you and the other staff members of the school get fancy meals! This is an outrage and all of the other students of FHMS agree with me! Also, why would you charge us 2.00 dollars for a lunch! That is ridiculous for this piece of trash! That is why all of the students attending FHMS are going to stop purchasing lunches! Face it, you brought this upon yourself! If you weren’t so cheap and bought us good, tasty, and quality lunches we may have kept purchasing your lunches!…

    Although having unhealthy food is quite valuable for many students, we should propose something that would benefit the school and the students. I recommend we start replacing unhealthy food like chips and soda pop with more nourishing food like yogurt or fruit juice. This would not only help having healthier food but also persuade students to eat healthy. Another way we can start the process of healthy food is through using the power of posters in which we can advertise about all the advantages of keeping a healthy yet effective food diet. If us grade nine students start eating healthier this would make us great role models for the younger students who would also want to eat food high in nutrients. By applying these methods the grade nine students will still be able to attend there adventure camp in spring every year and also exercise the benefits of eating much healthier.…

    Next, there needs to be better lunches at the cafeteria at HMS. First of all, the lunches need to be bigger so the students can eat more. Before it was stated that students need food to focus in class. The current lunch sizes are for elementary schoolers. Middle schoolers are growing and need more food. Some people believe that the lunch sizes are fine but they are wrong because the kids will still be hungry. Ask the students, make a survey they will be hungry after lunch. They don’t have enough food and the little food we get is not even filling. For example, they have five small chicken wings that cost four dollars. The amount of chicken wings that we get is worth $1. Next, more kids will eat and it will be good for health. The school can…

    The school cafeteria plans to change to a new, healthier school lunch menu, which would eliminate some of the students favorite cafeteria foods. Some students may disagree with this decision, because they feel no one should make them eat something they don't want to. I believe changing the school lunch menu to healthier foods is a good idea, because most students do not eat healthy at home, it can decrease the percentage amount of obesity in students, and it makes the school look good. First, school cafeteria's should change the lunch menu to healthier foods because most kids do not eat healthy at home. In order to take care of yourself and live a long life you must eat right.…

    Recently, I have been enlightened in the world of food. Through some internet reasherch and a few documentaries is have come to find out the power of food. This newfound insight has pushed me to write to you today. Newfound, I say that with intent. I haven't learned this until now, 16 years into my existence. The fact of the matter, is that it's imperative that schools provided local, fresh, and plant based diets. As you know the food provided in schools is brutally prossed and meat centered, which through my reasherch is not what we are designed to eat. But I would like to clear something up its not your fault and I'm not trying to acusse you of any wrong doing. Along with that your doing the best you can with the resources you have providing…
