With a fast pace of modern life more and more people are turning towards fast food for their main meals. Do you think the advantages outweigh the disadvantages?

#pace #life #people #food #meals
In today’s society, people are leaving traditional eating habits and enjoying fast
food
 as main meals to accommodate with rising contemporary lifestyles. While I accept that consuming these prepared foods can sometimes have a positive effect on the eaters, I believe that they are more likely to have a harmful impact. On the one hand, having Fast
food
 can be both time saving and entertaining. People have a little opportunity to cook at home, because more family members are busy in professional job life. Cooking at home is a time consuming and diligent task. After a day's hard work, It will be the most convenient choice for them to have a fast
food
 as meal rather than cooking.
For Instance
, both my wife and I should stay out of home from morning to evening for our daily office works, and after a day's tireless work we barely could cook for us.
Thus
 we prefer to have fast
food
 at mealtime rather than cooking.
In addition
, having fast
food
 is an opening for the person who wants to amuse himself by altering the usual mealy flavour. People could get bored after long time enjoying the same tastes meal, and enjoying fast
food
 offers them a new experience.
However
, I would argue that these benefits are outweighed by the drawbacks. Most fast
food
 items have little nutriment value. Its contain sugar, cholesterol and salt component which are extremely detrimental for individual wellbeing. Eating fast foods daily will make us have diabetes or gain obesity. The rise in overweight population has
also
 been linked to these eating habits. Another downside is that many
restaurant
Suggestion
restaurants
, snack processing systems are not hygienic. They have mixed different kinds of preservatives and chemical during cooking stages which are unhealthy for human being. A recent survey shows that in Bangladesh 40% restaurants are using chemicals for
food
 preparation, which could be initiate the risk of diseases like cancer, diabetes, heart attack.
Furthermore
, the price of fast foods is more expensive, so it could enhance our daily living cost. In conclusion, it seems to me that the potential dangers of fast foods are more significant than the possible benefits.

Include an introduction and conclusion

A conclusion is essential for IELTS writing task 2. It is more important than most people realise. You will be penalised for missing a conclusion in your IELTS essay.

The easiest paragraph to write in an essay is the conclusion paragraph. This is because the paragraph mostly contains information that has already been presented in the essay – it is just the repetition of some information written in the introduction paragraph and supporting paragraphs.

The conclusion paragraph only has 3 sentences:

  • Summary
  • Restatement of thesis
  • Prediction or recommendation

Example:

To summarize, a robotic teacher does not have the necessary disciple to properly give instructions to students and actually works to retard the ability of a student to comprehend new lessons. Therefore, it is clear that the idea of running a classroom completely by a machine cannot be supported. After thorough analysis on this subject, it is predicted that the adverse effects of the debate over technology-driven teaching will always be greater than the positive effects, and because of this, classroom teachers will never be substituted for technology.

Start your conclusion with a linking phrase. Here are some examples:

  • In conclusion
  • To conclude
  • To summarize
  • Finally
  • In a nutshell
  • In general
