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?

Nowadays, many sugary
products
are sold in markets so that
people
especially children consume them in big amounts. In my opinion,
this
has had a harmful effect in several areas. The first area is manufacturers setting up cheap prices for sugary
products
. Supporters of underpaid humans would argue that it is the best way to buy
products
with low salaries.
While
this
may be true to some extent, it
also
has an impact on our health. If companies increased the prices of sugary goods,
people
would buy them less. In consequence,
this
will help
people
to avoid the diversity of diseases
such
as diabetes.
This
brings me to my second point. It is sometimes said that sugar provides energy and stimulation in the blood.
This
may be true.
However
, the majority of
people
are getting addicted to sugar.
For example
, there are many kids who have diabetes because they consumed it a lot.
Thus
, they persuade their parents to buy them sugary
products
so they have to risk health and expenses. In conclusion, markets should rise prices for these kinds of
products
to prevent humans from health problems and spending.

Word Count

IELTS says that you should write a minimum of 250 words in writing task 2. If you go under word count you will lose marks in task response.

A very long essay will not give you a higher band score.

Aim for between 260 to 290 words in writing task 2. This will ensure a concise essay and will be realistic in terms of time management. You have only 40 minutes to write the essay and you need around 10 minutes of planning time, so you will not be able to write a long essay in 30 minutes.
