In contemporary times, health problems caused by

food

 are a controversial issue.
For
Linking Words
this
Linking Words
 reason, I mainly disagree with the idea that governments should impose a high
tax
Use synonyms
 on
this
Linking Words
 kind of
food
Use synonyms
.  
To begin
Linking Words
 with, it is certain that high taxes discourage people from buying fast
food
Use synonyms
.
For instance
Linking Words
, cigarettes and alcohol are successful for that purpose with high taxes. Not only do they not let consumers purchase them, but they
also
Linking Words
 contribute to the government's financial resources.
Consequently
Linking Words
, high taxes generate money for the citizen's health insurance policy.
Furthermore
Linking Words
, greasy and salty
food
Use synonyms
 is unhealthy, as are tobacco and alcohol. In the case of
junk
Use synonyms
food
Use synonyms
, it leads to obesity or diabetes
due to
Linking Words
 its high calorie and fat content.   Having said that, the high
tax
Use synonyms
 on
junk
Use synonyms
food
Use synonyms
 has a negative impact on people who do not have enough salary. Basically, the advantage of
junk
Use synonyms
food
Use synonyms
 is reasonable for those who cannot afford to buy healthy
food
Use synonyms
 because it is
also
Linking Words
 true that fresh
food
Use synonyms
,
such
Linking Words
 as organic vegetables, is costly.
Although
Linking Words
 vegetables contain high nutrition, they are not enough to fill a stomach.
However
Linking Words
, fast
food
Use synonyms
 makes us feel satisfied easily because of its cost and high calories.   In conclusion,
although
Linking Words
 imposing a high
tax
Use synonyms
 on fast
food
Use synonyms
 solves health and financial issues, there are those in need
due to
Linking Words
 poverty, and those people have to resort to cheap
junk
Use synonyms
food
Use synonyms
. Given those reasons, I believe that increasing the
tax
Use synonyms
 on fast
food
Use synonyms
 has a negative effect.

Use a variety of complex and simple sentences

You should use complex sentences in your writing, but it does not mean that you should try to make all of our sentences complex.

‘Complex’ sentences are not actually very complex; they are just two or more simple sentences put together. Putting them together makes the essay more coherent and cohesive.

Examples:

I really want to study but I’m too tired.

I wore a warm coat because the weather was cold.

If action is not taken soon on climate change, global warming will get worse.
