In most countries fast food is becoming cheaper and more available. Do you think the advantages of this development outweigh the disadvantages?

long-lasting detrimental effects. Considering how busy life has become in many countries, many are happy that they do not have to bother about whipping up breakfast or going through the stress of making a packed lunch for work, as they can easily drive through a restaurant and pick up fast

.
In other words

 require a lot of time for shopping and planning. While those who eat healthy homemade

, those who enjoy ready-made packs do not have any need to.
Hence
, cafeterias and restaurants which make these

 are currently thriving.
However
, there are more negative consequences of the easy affordability and availability of junk.
Firstly
, many, irrespective of their economic status are able to consume more junk
meals
 because they are quite cheap resulting in increasing rates of obesity and its related illnesses

 as hypertension and heart failure. If unhealthy and processed packs were expensive,
then
 fewer people will consume them, which would result in a much healthier society.
Additionally
, resorting to frequent fast
food
 consumption results in the development of unhealthy habits. According to recent research, consumers who patronize quick-meal vendors are more likely to be lazy in many aspects of life. In conclusion, despite the joy people derive from having
meals
 as soon as they want them, the disadvantages definitely outweigh
this
 joy.

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
