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, more and more
people
 suffer from health problems,
due to
 ultra-processed
food
 and drink products, which consist of high sugar and carbohydrates.
Therefore
, some
people
 think that raising the
price
 of
this
junk
food
 can reduce purchases. I partially agree with
this
 statement, and in
this
 essay, I will offer my opinion with examples in the following paragraph. On the one hand, many individuals are getting too fat today, and manufactured
food
 is the main culprit.
First,
it is
prevelant
Correct your spelling
prevalent
 that most processed
food
 is cheap;
hence
, children are affordable to buy. Once children get
this
junk
food
 easily without temperance, the obesity or other health problems will become worse.
Second,
as these unhealthy
food
 prices grow, it may make
people
 re-evaluate the value of
food
.
For instance
, my brother used to drink bubble milk tea a lot ten years ago;
however
, he quit it owing to the change of the
price
, from 45 dollars to 85 dollars. He told me that 85 dollars was so expensive that could even buy a healthy boxed lunch in Taiwan.
On the other hand
, in some cases,
price
 adjustment is useless. One of the main reasons is that refined carbohydrate
food
 can help
people
 relax and bring satisfaction. Take me as an example, I love eating chocolate bars, which not only reduce my pain during the menstrual period but
also
 make me happy when I feel upset,
While
 there are a few reasons that
people
 would continue to consume processed
food
, I think that raising the
price
 is the most direct and efficient way to avoid most of
people
's
junk
food
 temptation. In conclusion, I think levelling up the
price
 of these unhealthy sugary products can not only reduce the direct of
junk
food
 consumption but
also
 raise diet awareness, simultaneously, improving
people
's
overall
 health.

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.

I wore a warm coat because the weather was cold.
