	Junk Food
1	In my opinion, junk food is terrible and it causes the bad impact fro our health. We should avoid it for a number of reasons.	Thesis
2	Junk food usually consists of synthetic color, sugar and smell. Those materials can cause negative effects for our body for a long time. All of those can’t be absorbed by our intestine so those materials precipitate in our blood. If we often consume it, the materials can’t be taken out from our body because the sediment precipitates in our body.	Argument
3	Our health is very important; junk food is the wrong choice for our diet. Although the taste, smell and color of the junk food is better, many people don’t realize with the impact of consuming junk food. Our kidney will work harder to filter the addictive materials of junk food. If we consume it continuously, the kidneys will break and they can’t filter it anymore. We call it “fail kidney;’ or in Indonesian it is called “gagal ginjal”. It has a vital impact until the death picks our live up.	Argument
4	From the reasons above, we should reduce and avoid junk food from now on. It is important for our live. Just consume the natural diet or vegetarian. This way is the best resolution for bad temper of junk food.	Conclusion/Reiteration
