What is the context?

imeka 10-08-2010 03:44 AM

it's just a sakubun about how eating too much fast food causes obesity. My sensei wants me to edit my sentence because it's a little unclear, so I need to say the increase of eating at Mcdonalds is a problem.

What's your sentence? Always "show your work" here to get good help.

That says "Fast food is Japan's problem." That's different than what you are trying to say.

My sensei said that my sentence is too vague. But I'm also mentioning the trend of eating at fast food places like McDonalds, so she doesn't want me to just say that fast food is bad.

So, where is your own attempt to say in Japanese what you need to say?

You are getting closer. This means "I think the fact that more people are eating at McDonald's is a problem."
