四、背话题范文(2013·福建省普通高中质量检查)最近的一项调查显示，我国每年餐桌上浪费的食物价值高达2 000亿元，相当于2亿多人一年的口粮。
近日，某英语报以“Join in the …Clean Your Plate‟ Campaign”为题向中学生征文。
请根据提示，用英语写一篇120词左右的短文应征。
内容包括：浪费的原因；浪费的后果；你的看法和措施。
[范文必背]Join in the “Clean Your Plate” Ca mpaignWe often see people waste food because they order too much for their meals, or the food is not delicious enough or not properly kept.A survey indicates each year China wastes 200 billion yuan worth of food, which is enough to feed over 200 million people.Food waste means wasting money as well as wasting precious resources. When food is thrown away, it becomes rubbish which can be harmful to the environment and people's health.It's meaningful to join in the “Clean Your Plate” campaign, which helps us realize how difficult it is for a grain of rice to come on our plate and how important it is to save food. It's wise to order a proper amount of food for our meals. If there're leftovers, it's better to take them home.
