Band 7.5

Eating too much sugar is harmful for health. Some people think that it is government responsibility to limit people’s sugar consumption, while others think that it is individuals responsibility to limit the amount of sugar they eat. Discuss both views and give your opinion.

The surge of
sugar
 consumption is becoming prevalent everywhere. Some argue that the
government
 should control the increase of sugary product consumptions. In my opinion, I believe it is an individual's power to limit their
sugar
 intake by alternate healthy methods. On the one hand, a large number of people believe the
government
 should create laws that prohibit the product adverts with high
sugar
 contents.
Nevertheless
, they believe
this
 will prevent people from buying
such
 products or being aware of them, since they are not informed about it.
Also
,
this
 will encourage people to concentrate more on organic products.
In addition
, if the authority can heavily tax
such
 products,
this
 will discourage a large proportion of the population from patronising
such
 products. Buying products with low
sugar
 level will
further
 be encouraged. All
this
 will increase the well being of the population.
However
, the bulk of the work is on each individual to have power over their
health
.
This
 can be done by monitoring diets as the authorities cannot closely monitor what is consumed by the population. It is required for each person to take foods low in
sugar
, especially fruits and vegetables which are good for the
health
.
Additionally
, sports can be taken as a hobby to improve the lifestyle of a person,
this
also
 cannot be enforced by the
government
. Performing some light aerobics like physical exercise, and walking for a few minutes daily will contribute a great deal to the overall mental
health
. In conclusion, despite the fact that the
government
 may need to impose some restrictions on sugary products, it is
also
 the responsibility of the masses to take control of their
health
 by monitoring their food intake and participating in recreational activities. In my opinion, each human being has the final authority over their
health
 and not the authority in charge.

Support ideas with relevant, specific examples

Examples make your writing easier to understand by illustrating points more effectively.

Examples, if used properly, not only help you get higher marks for ‘Task Response’ but also for ‘Coherence’.

When giving examples it is best to put them after your main idea or topic sentence. They can be used in the middle of supporting sentences or they can be used to start a new sentence. There is no rule for where exactly to give examples in essays, logically they would come after your main idea/topic sentence or just after a supporting sentence.

Linking words for giving examples:

  • for example
  • for instance
  • to illustrate this
  • to give a clear example
  • such as
  • namely
  • to illustrate
  • take, for example
