The rise of convenience food has helped people keep up with the speed of the modern life style. What are the advantages of this trend? Do the advantages outweigh the disadvantages?

It is often argued that modern

is designed to fit into today’s fast-paced lifestyle.
While

some individuals claim that fast

is the natural evolution of nutrition, others insist that health consequences could overtake us in the near future. In my view,
although

both perspectives have merit, I strongly believe that takeout

On the other hand

, take-and-go services are very useful for people with limited time,
such

due to

their accessibility and quick preparation.
While

traditional restaurants start cooking only after the order is placed, fast-

Furthermore

Therefore

although

, despite its unhealthy influence, can be a convenient alternative for certain groups of society in today’s fast-developing world, as long as it is not consumed excessively.

Include an introduction and conclusion

A conclusion is essential for IELTS writing task 2. It is more important than most people realise. You will be penalised for missing a conclusion in your IELTS essay.

The easiest paragraph to write in an essay is the conclusion paragraph. This is because the paragraph mostly contains information that has already been presented in the essay – it is just the repetition of some information written in the introduction paragraph and supporting paragraphs.

The conclusion paragraph only has 3 sentences:

  • Summary
  • Restatement of thesis
  • Prediction or recommendation

Example:

To summarize, a robotic teacher does not have the necessary disciple to properly give instructions to students and actually works to retard the ability of a student to comprehend new lessons. Therefore, it is clear that the idea of running a classroom completely by a machine cannot be supported. After thorough analysis on this subject, it is predicted that the adverse effects of the debate over technology-driven teaching will always be greater than the positive effects, and because of this, classroom teachers will never be substituted for technology.

Start your conclusion with a linking phrase. Here are some examples:

  • In conclusion
  • To conclude
  • To summarize
  • Finally
  • In a nutshell
  • In general
