 sugary products should be made more expensive to encourage people to consume less sugar. I tend to believe that
this
 statement is quite incorrect and in
this
 essay, I will explain why.
First
 and most importantly, when it comes to an individual's habits, in
this
 case consuming sugary products, a human sticks to what he feels the most comfortable doing and no obstacles can put a stop to it. Scientific

Consequently
, a higher price on the product a person constantly consumes would not be a barrier. The
second
 point worth mentioning is that by removing one specific source of unhealthy pleasure a person will find the other. A human’s stamina is quite fragile concerning instincts. To be more exact, if an individual would have to desist from a particular weakness, a human being most certainly will find the other one, since harmful habits are more sticky than

tolerance to the product is developed requesting more and more. On the basis of the above discussion, I believe that making sugary products more expensive would not make a big difference in an individual's attitude, since people tend to stick with their harmful habits.

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
