The rise of convenience food has helped people keep up with the speed of a modern lifestyle. Do the advantages outweigh the disadvantages?

Contemporary lifestyle demands agility from people, in that case, the upsurge of packaged
foods
 has aided people in keeping up with the fast pace of contemporary life. In my opinion, the fact that packaged
foods
 have some negative effects on health and the presence of a number of additional substances in them are considered its disadvantages, but their advantages outweigh them in many ways. It is obvious that if industrially produced
foods
 are consumed in excess and unconsciously, they can lead to diseases
such
 as obesity, indigestion, and heart problems. To illustrate, more than half of the American population is more prone to obesity because they prefer fast
food
 to home-cooked

However

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
