More and more people are becoming seriously overweight. Some people say that raising the prices of fast food will solve this problem. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

In today's world, more and more
people
 are busy because of their heavy workloads and they cannot spend enough time to eat meals appropriately.
This
 situation leads them to eat fast

 which makes them overweight.
However

this

 is the time, not the

For instance
, workers, especially in Korea, sometimes enjoy fast

 for lunch
such
 as Hamburgers since it comes out quicker than other restaurants.
Although
 we know the quality of fast

Additionally
, there are other reasons for gaining weight without eating specific

people
 have dinner late at night. They don't have the energy to cook, so they eat microwave
food
 which has many harmful ingredients,
this

Support ideas with relevant, specific examples

Examples make your writing easier to understand by illustrating points more effectively.

Examples, if used properly, not only help you get higher marks for ‘Task Response’ but also for ‘Coherence’.

When giving examples it is best to put them after your main idea or topic sentence. They can be used in the middle of supporting sentences or they can be used to start a new sentence. There is no rule for where exactly to give examples in essays, logically they would come after your main idea/topic sentence or just after a supporting sentence.

Linking words for giving examples:

  • for example
  • for instance
  • to illustrate this
  • to give a clear example
  • such as
  • namely
  • to illustrate
