A

At East China University of Science and Technology,

students will get a coupon（优惠券）if they eat up their food.

Students can collect coupons and exchange them for small gifts,

such as books, magazines, mobile phone covers and hand

warmers.

“It’s been such a surprise,” said Liang Zhaoyun, 19, a

student at the university in Shanghai. “It has given us one

more motivation to finish our food.”

The measure （措施） is part of a national “eat-up” campaign（行动） which is organized by students to deal with food waste on campuses（校园）.

But some school food is poorly prepared, so students do not like to finish it all. Some schools have taken notice of this and they are taking measures to improve it.

“I’m glad that we’ve reduced food waste since the ‘eat-up’ campaign began. But if we call on students to waste less food, we should also improve the service and food standard on campuses.” said Tao.

A. when they eat school food B. after they exchange gifts
