【評論內容】 Children in Taiwan face many difficulties in their life – the pressure at school to do well on tests and exams, (B)long hours of studying in “cram schools,” and (A)little free time for fun. Now (D)they are having yet another new and more serious problem: obesity. According to recent studies and news reports, childhood obesity has become a major issue in Taiwan as more and more school kids are overweight. Take 9th graders for example. About 34% teenagers in this age group are over the maximum of their ideal weight. Parents, teachers and government officials are all very concerned about this growing problem. If kids fail to maintain a proper weight in a younger stage, they could suffer from many serious health problems later in life. Judging from this, the government has started promoting a program to inspire elementary and middle school students to exercise more and to eat less unhealthy food. One of the important parts of this program is the “6-5-20” concept. This series of numbers is used to remind students to exercise during the breaks among their six daily classes for five minutes at a time and to chew their food twenty times before swallowing it. Another policy of this program is that snacks and drinks with 250 or more calories are banned from schools, while only healthy foods can be sold to students, such as 100% pure fruit juice, sushi, low-fat milk, and low-calorie bread. The program is being called a success by many parents and educators. Quite a few middle school students have already lost weight in only three months. This is good news for the rest of Taiwanese people, including college students, office workers and the elder population, since it could mean that similar programs might work as well in different target groups across the country.
