话题:
Topic1: What's your opinion on these food-trucks, should them be banned or kept?
Topic2: Can you offer some solutions to fix this problem?
范例1:
Food is risky. You can choke on a hot dog, be poisoned by a pizza or die slowly from years of eating too much. Clearly, businesses that sell food are suspect. And what could be more suspicious than an outlet that sells food and then drives away before its customers expire. Small wonder that so many American cities frown on food trucks.
Miami makes it extremely hard for them to operate, as do Baltimore and Chicago. Rochester, Pittsburgh and San Diego are nearly as stern. In New York City, a cap on the number of food-truck licences available has created a black market, pushing up prices into the thousands of dollars. How bad can food trucks be. Local restaurants complain that they steal customers and pay no rent. Officials worry that their garishness will lower the local tone. Many think they are just dirty, roach coaches is the sneer.
After years of legal wrangling, Alexandria's city council in Virginia has at last decided to allow food trucks in parks and parking lots. Not in the streets, mind. The experiment starts in July, and the typically mean spirited conditions are there to protect the immobile restaurant trade. Such rules are misguided. Not only is street [wend]vending[/w] an important step for aspiring entrepreneurs, but food trucks have enlivened the gastronomic scene and generated new business and local taxes, wherever they have been allowed to roam.
At Farragut Square, the centre of the food-truck scene in Washington, DC, no fewer than 15 trucks dish up tasty, cheap lunchtime grub to wage slaves every weekday. The buzz they create has been good for local businesses, four new restaurants have opened round the square in the past two years. Having forged a loyal customer base, at least 20 local food trucks are opening brick and mortar outposts. Chow down on that.
