There has been an ever-increasing trend that people discard an excessive amount of
food
waste
 from all corners of the world.
Although
this
 problem can be attributed to a great number of reasons, some feasible solutions can be considered to address
this
. There are a number of reasons for
this
 adverse tendency. The
first
 reason for the rise in the amount of
food
waste
 is the increased supply of cheap and readily available
food
, which encourages people to buy more than they really need.
For example
, in order to increase sale revenue as well as compete with other brands, many fast-
food
 restaurants nowadays have launched plenty of promotion programs
such
 as “By 2 get 1 free”, which has attracted hundreds of customers and
thus
 the huge amount of
food
waste
 will end up in landfills. Another reason is that in order to deal with busy lifestyles, people tend to buy
food
 for the whole week rather than go to the supermarket on a daily basis.
However
, some kinds of fruits and vegetables easily become rotten within a few days and
then
 thrown away. A wide range of strong measures must be implemented, not only by the government but
also
 by individuals, to combat
food
waste
.
This
first
 solution is that the government can develop some action plans to raise consumers’ awareness of
food
 appreciation.
This
 could be done by getting people involved in global
food
 campaigns
such
 as Think.Eat.Save and anti-
food
waste
 campaign, helping their citizens to become more conscious consumers and when everyone is fully aware of
this
, they would think more carefully when it comes to shopping for
food
. In terms of each consumer, it is important to make a detailed shopping list before going to the supermarket.
This
 way helps them to have time to prepare and decide wisely what products should be bought, which eventually saves a lot of unnecessary
food
. In conclusion,
Although
food
waste
 seems inevitable in today’s world, there are various ways to improve
this
 problem.

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
