My Reactions:
According to Tina Peng in “The seven worst winter drinks,” she emphasized the importance of hot and sweet drinks for people in winter at the start. Moreover, she even described winter beverages as irresistible lure. Many people may really want to drink a cup of steaming as well as hot chocolate to warm them especially in chilly winter night. However, most of those popular drinks for winter contain much cream and sugar which have scary calorie counts. That is to say, most winter beverages are unhealthy to us. She introduced seven worst winter drinks in order to warn people of drinking too much.

I was curious about the title as soon as I saw it. Feeling surprised after reading the article, I have to drink less winter beverages from now on. Some delicious food or drink is bad to our health because ingredients in it are always artificial such as sweetener and pigment. Nevertheless, people still choose food and drink that is tasty to eat regardless of their health. Moreover, the article also provided the information of these worst seven winter drinks, which told us how bad the drinks were. The calories of the drinks are so much that will cause obesity or diabetes.

In my opinion, we should pay attention to the calories and ingredients of all food and drink. We can count calories before eating food. Hot water is better than all drinks for winter. We should drink water instead of beverages. After all, we should take care of our health. In conclusion, we should eat properly for the sake of making our body healthier. (267 words)
