Forrest Gump. John Escott

It would be a very difficult case to find at least one person on Earth, who did not know the famous film "Forrest Gump" with Tom Hanks. Certainly, everybody knows and loves this movie. But have you ever read the book on which this film is based? There is a very common situation, when the book is better than the movie. Is this the same case? Let us revise our memories and read a short plot of this story. "This is a true, wonderful and funny story about Forrest Gump. Forrest is a young kind-hearted man from Alabama in the USA. He has won a medal for gallantry in the Vietnam war. The President Of the United States awarded the hero. Forrest was a footballer, a businessman and a film star. He also went in space. His best friend was an ape called Sue."

Coronavirus impact

Nearly 10% of the Spanish population may have contracted the coronavirus at some point, half of them during the second wave of the pandemic, according to the preliminary results of the fourth wave of a seroprevalence study released on Tuesday.

Results indicate that 9.9% of Spain’s 47 million residents have developed antibodies after exposure to the virus, said the head of the Carlos III Health Institute, Raquel Yotti. The first wave of the study, in May, showed that 5% of the population had developed antibodies; in July that figure had risen slightly to 5.2%.

The director of the National Epidemiology Center, Marina Pollán, noted that during the first wave of the coronavirus in Spain, only one out of every 10 cases were being detected. “Right now, in this second wave of the epidemic, we might be detecting around 60%.”

The study was done between November 16 and 29 at 1,500 healthcare centers, with 51,709 participants, 63% of those who took part in earlier rounds.The Spanish government is asking citizens not to let their guard down, as the latest data suggests that the recent downward trend in coronavirus infections may have come to an end. The country on Monday reported the first rise in weekend cases in five weeks, and experts have warned that Spain is going into the Christmas holidays with a higher incidence rate than it had at the beginning of summer.

ARGUMENTATIVE WRITING: Advantages -Disadvantages

There has been a dramatic change in the lifestyle of people over the years. The availability of readymade food has made it easy to maintain this modern lifestyle. While there are some clear benefits to this situation, I personally believe that the drawbacks are more significant.

The main advantage of the convenience food is that it saves the time which is spent in cooking food. As a result, people can utilize this time for other purposes such as relaxing and doing other recreational activities. Moreover, the productivity of work has increased. For instance, there are many food stalls available at the workplace; thus one finds it convenient to have lunch with so many options to choose. Also, one does not have to wake up early to cook food.

On the other hand, there are many disadvantages associated with readymade food. For example, it may be unhealthy and unhygienic. Firstly, it does not provide complete nutrition and contains preservatives which are harmful if consumed in excess quantity. For instance, studies have linked the rise in cancer cases to the high content of preservatives in the packed food. In addition, the standards of hygiene are not maintained in many food stalls. This can lead to the spreading of diseases such as typhoid and cholera and reduce the productivity of people.

To conclude, time saving is the main advantage of the availability of convenience food; however, in my opinion, the disadvantages of regular consumption of readymade food outweigh the advantages. From my point of view, people should give up their dependence on packaged food and consume more homemade food.
