It is increasingly common to see people with weight problems.
That is
Linking Words
because they have bad habits like eating fast food and poor physical activity. It is often argued that the government should introduce a tax on these garbage foods to discourage their consumption.
Although
Linking Words
, I recognize that
this
Linking Words
is a serious problem, I believe that
such
Linking Words
a measure is wrong and ineffective.
First
Linking Words
of all, many people believe that the introduction of a tax can bring money into the state's crates and
then
Linking Words
be invested in other fields
such
Linking Words
as education, sport, etc. The introduction of a tax would not solve the trouble.
For example
Linking Words
, a person with weight problem costs a state almost twice as well as a healthy person. A tariff would not reduce the number of overweight people and
consequently
Linking Words
earning would be used to treat these people.
Secondly
Linking Words
, the best way to solve
this
Linking Words
problem is to invest money in food education courses. These courses should start from childhood schools.
For instance
Linking Words
, educating our children is
also
Linking Words
educating their parents. A child could explain why it is wrong to eat a certain thing.
In addition
Linking Words
, children are future generations. In conclusion, the best way to combat
this
Linking Words
kind of disease is to invest money in food education courses. My name is Cirillo and
this
Linking Words
is a cat. The life is beautiful and you are glad

Word Count

IELTS says that you should write a minimum of 250 words in writing task 2. If you go under word count you will lose marks in task response.

A very long essay will not give you a higher band score.

Aim for between 260 to 290 words in writing task 2. This will ensure a concise essay and will be realistic in terms of time management. You have only 40 minutes to write the essay and you need around 10 minutes of planning time, so you will not be able to write a long essay in 30 minutes.
