In recent times,
food
 is still lightly valued in some parts of the world.
However
, in urban areas, particularly in the developed world,
food
waste
 is becoming a major concern.
This
 essay will discuss the causes of
this
 problem and suggestions on how people can curb the amount of
food
 thrown away. Two main factors are behind the rise in
food
 wastage. The
first
 is the rising incomes of the population which meant higher disposable incomes.
In other words
, 50 years ago ,
for instance
, an average family has about #100 per month to spend on feeding and entertainment but recently, the same family can spend nothing less than #100, 000 and so the idea of buying something and not consuming it is unremarkable. The
second
 factor, linked with the
first
,
however
, is the modern throw-away habit in which all products are treated as disposables. Generally, it is uncommon to find valuable households
such
 as; silver and gold, dinnerware and so on being thrown in the bin. In the same way, it is
also
 unsurprising to see half the family groceries trashed without concern. Tackling
this
 issue involves altering the mindset of society. In
this
 case, it can be done by creating a public-awareness campaign.
For instance
, NRDC launched Save The
Food
 campaign as an open-source
that is
, public education on the impact of household
food
waste
 and helps consumers with the tools to prevent
food
 from going into
waste
 at home. In brief, we cannot adequately address
food
waste
 without changing consumers' attitudes and behaviours towards
food
 on a societal scale.
Besides
, the drivers of
food
 are rooted in good intentions and long-held habits.
Hence
, efforts with continuity will be the most successful in order to cut down on
food
waste
.

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
