With the increasing population across the world, it is important to consider how to feed
such
 large populace. Many people argue that GM
food
 can be a solution to
this
 problem, and I tend to agree with them.
This
 essay is going to explain my views with relevant examples.
Firstly
, one important advantage of GM foods is that they can produce a greater yield.
This
 is because GM seeds are usually genetically modified to be resistant to several diseases and insects.
For example
, but cotton, a GM seed, is resistant to diseases as it produces a bacteria that acts as a shield for the disease-causing germs. If we did not use GM,
then
 there might not be enough produce to satisfy the population demands, as naturally grown plants are not resistant to diseases.
Furthermore
, the genes of a fruit or a vegetable can be modified to increase its size, and
also
 nutrition value.
This
 can be helpful as a single plant can produce much larger fruits
thus
 effectively increasing the yield.
For instance
, a single apple, which is double the size of naturally produced one, from these plants can suffice a person who usually consumes more than one.
Conversely
, if we depend on natural produce, it can lead to
food
 scarcity as natural plants cannot produce the quantity produced by GM plants. In conclusion, GM
food
 provides the advantage of increased yield, size and nutritional value, and in my opinion, can be a possible alternative for naturally grown
food
 to meet the demands of ever-increasing population growth.

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
