McDonald's




I was searching a lot in my mind, what I am going to write for my observation essay. It is hard because observe people and things cannot be complete immediately. You must take your time do many preparations before you start. However, I went to ski this Saturday with three American and three Chinese. When we all done with skiing and snowboarding, every body was tired and starve. Jamie suggested that we should have dinner together before we went back to Denver. Nobody would say no at that time, only if we have something to eat. They recommend fast foot apparently because it is fast. We cannot wait anymore, many options however, I choose Mcdonald’s. So I get my observation subject. I was told a story about the foundation of Mcdonald’s by Jamie there, this was my first time heart about this story. She told me like an teacher teach her student she was great person, she has all patience to us and very nice to us ,she is my first friend here. Like an interesting history story, this one has been told one another because Mcdonald’s has created an new style of eating and give more people convenient. It was an distinguish industry of food. They make everybady in the world know this kind of food,they love it, they enjoy it !
There were two McDonalds — Mac and Dick — and they were brothers. In 1948 they owned a restaurant in California. They liked working in the restaurant, but they got tired of the customers ordering so many different things to eat.“If we gave customers a smaller menu, we could make some of the food before they came, and they wouldn’t have to wait so long for their meals,” said one of the brothers. The other brother agreed and said, “And if we made the customers come to the counter, we wouldn’t need any waiters or waitresses. We could also use plastic plates so there wouldn’t be any washing-up.”These were such good ideas that the McDonald brothers used them, and the customers were very pleased. They got their meals very quickly — in less than a minute — and they paid only 15 cents for hamburgers and 10 cents for fries. The first McDonald’s restaurant had no seats for customers to sit on. This meant that people had to take their food away, and that no one had to clean up any tables after them.Then a man called Ray Kroc came to the brothers and asked to buy their business. They agreed to sell it to him for $27 million. After that, people paid Ray Kroc to open their own restaurants using the McDonald’s name and menu. Before long, there were McDonald’s restaurants all over the
United States, and nowadays, they are all over the world — even in China and Russia and Uk. The most successful McDonald’s business is in Hong Kong of China. The Hong Kong McDonald’s sells more hamburgers every day than any other McDonald’s anywhere else in the world.McDonald’s restaurants are so successful because children love going to them. They like the food, and they like the toys and games they can get at McDonald’s
I'm lovin' it ~~

I noticed when you were writing there was alot of grammatical errors. I too when I was little used to like mcdonalds since I was young I kicked the habbit. Yes it was a concept that caught on pretty quinkly and I do believe that it was already in everbodys mind. Mcdonalds is a very healthy food-ha ha, i would hope you and your friends will find a better place to eat. They do have a few healthy things on the menu. I honestly think and find you should find something that you are passionate about to write about, it will turn out better

Nice choice of observing areas. I also think it would depend a lot on which McDonald’s you go to because I’m sure the environment would be very different in a McDonald’s out in the middle of no where and one in downtown Denver. You can always see something interesting happen where there a large groups of very diverse people gathering. Good luck with this observation, and I will be looking forward to reading the essay. I think it would be neat to hear about some differences you found between McDonald’s here and where you are from.
