Many manufactured food and drink products contain high levels of sugar, which causes many health problems. Sugary products should be made more expensive to encourage people to consume less sugar. Do you agree or disagree?

It is argued by some that we should make the prices of sugary
products
 higher as a means of pushing people to intake less

 and would argue that it is neither right nor practical to try to raise the prices of sugary

. On the one hand, it is undeniable that highly processed food and drink

Sugar

This

sugar
 can even be found in the least expected things,
such
 as daily seasonings like vinegar and soy sauce.
As a result
, people today are consuming an excessive dosage of
sugar
 that human bodies are simply not designed to cope with. After all, mass production of
sugar
 only started several centuries ago, yet it took tens of thousands of years for our ancestors to develop the rewarding mechanism that we have in our brains today, which both helped our species survive in the Stone Age and is slowly killing many of us today. With all that being said, I would argue that trying to raise the
price
 of sugary
products
 would be an effort in vain, which may even cause more serious consequences for society.
First
 of all, sugary food and drink
products
 are fast-moving consumer

, often consumed rapidly and priced low, which means that consumer perception of their

This

Thus

this
 may lead to serious problems for society. In conclusion, I believe that we have no reason to try to intervene with the

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
