There are discussions around whether

For example
, fruits and vegetables are transported to

in their rawest forms, and
then
they are packaged with excessive plastic wrappings and stickers. So, some may think that in order to reduce the amount of packaging of

coherence cohesion
The essay generally presents a clear argument with an introduction and conclusion that reflect the overall discussion and your opinion, hence the higher score for the presence of intro and conclusion. However, the logical structure could be enhanced by better connecting thoughts and ensuring paragraphs flow into one another more seamlessly. Transitions can aid in smoothing out the progression of ideas.
task achievement
You have addressed the task and provided an opinion which is good, this supports a score of 7 for a complete response and clear ideas. However, your response can be improved by delving deeper into the discussion points and providing more varied, specific examples to back up your points. The examples you provided are a bit generic and could benefit from incorporating statistics, studies, or real-world cases that concretely illustrate your arguments.
