In many countries, traditional foods are being replaced by fast food. This has a negative impact on families, individuals and society. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

In recent years, the number of fast-
food
outlets has widely spread throughout the world and in several cases, citizens prefer to consume junk
food
to classic
cuisine
. I sit on the fence about
this
kind of issue, since there are numerous benefits,
although
some drawbacks still need to be considered. Having a bunch of foodstuff stores might simplify and save us time to eat. No doubt that preparing meal was become a complex activity, especially for office workers downtown. Fast
food
, which can be served without taking much effort to finish, could become one of the solutions.
Furthermore
, choosing it
instead
of traditional
food
will save time either for serving or consuming. Junk
food
such
as burgers or fried chicken is designed to be eaten easily,
hence
will helpfully save hours.
On the other hand
, over-consuming fast
cuisine
will lead to several unhealing diseases in long term,
such
as cancer or obesity. The lengthy process of making fried fries,
for example
, made them contain harmful content for people whom they consume. Additional chemicals which keep the substance more durable are
also
had its responsible for spreading potential sickness. Equally important, replacing traditional
cuisine
will bring the negligence of heritage. Especially for young people, who prefer eating burgers to home-made meals, if
this
cycle happened continually, it might affect traditional
food
’s existence in the future.
For instance
, several cities in Indonesia have lost their local
cuisine
due to
this
kind of issue. All in all, fast
food
is sure to give benefits to some extent,
such
as being practical to service and efficiency in time usage,
however
, too much reliance on it will emerge numerous drawbacks,
such
as health issues and culture loss.

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
