It is astonishing that whilst millions of

’s consequences. In
this
essay, I will attempt to outline some main reasons and practical measures for
this
issue. Wasted
food
mainly comes from retail companies in the
food
industry and households. In most supermarkets, vegetables, fruits and other perishable items which are overstocked in
display
cases are too abundant compared to the local demand. The excess
display
leads to almost one-fifth of
food
that is
unsold and thrown away every day. In households, most uneaten leftovers and ruined
food
are results of poor cooking plans in advance.
In other words
,
people
often go shopping without organising and estimating the amount of
food
they need.
In addition
, leftovers are likely to be forgotten and thrown away at the end. There are several solutions to tackle
this
disturbing issue . It is a fair suggestion that retail shops should lower their expectation on the decoration of
food
cases and
display
just over the average consumer demand.

However
, the abundant

is seen as a good trading policy so it is hard to persuade these businesses to halt it. In each household, well-planned shopping appears to be the best way to limit
food
waste
, along with other methods to take advantage of ruined
food
such
as composting or animal feeding.
Last
but not least, the benefits of

people
only follow guidances on limiting wasted
food
if they know why they have to do that.
Food
waste
is caused by some reasons and deserves more concern to deal with. There are many measures helping to solve
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
