IELTS Essay more people choose to live on their own

In modern societies, more and more people choose to live on their own.
What are the reasons people choose to do this?
Is it a positive or negative trend?

Sample Answer

In today’s world people are more likely to live alone as they feel independent in doing so. The concept of joint family had plummeted in this modern world. In my point of view this is a negative trend which can lead to isolation and also create problems later in life.

There are different reasons why people choose to live on their own. One reason can be that it offers people liberating experiences of life. They can live their life completely on their own terms without any interruptions. This type of independence is not possible when they are living with a family or a partner. There are no restrictions when people live alone, they can do whatever they want to.
Another reason can be that people want to be self reliant, they don’t want to be financially or emotionally dependent on someone. They want to bear their own experience and be confident about life.

Living alone is having a negative impact on the future generations. There are serious problems arising from this trend such as depression. For instance, people are spending majority of their time alone at home and lack social values. Such kind of isolation is not healthy and can sometimes lead to depression and anxiety. Apart from this, there are day to day problems that occurs in one’s life when they live alone. Such as, there is no one to help while doing daily chores, it has to be done alone. Also there is lack of safety when an individual lives alone.

In conclusion, although it has become more popular among young generation to live alone, it is complicating the idea socialisation. It is creating a dis balance in the social construct hence it should not be encouraged. (289 words)

Overall, what stands out from the graph is that there were considerable upwards trends in the income of Delicacy, Evening paradise and Grand Fiesta, while the earnings of Spicy Fortune witnessed a considerable fall over the year. Another interesting point is that Spicy Fortune was the most popular restaurant in January, but in December, Evening Paradise earned more money than the others.
Looking at the details, in January 2010, Spicy Fortune was the biggest earner with a monthly income of almost $160,000. In the following months, its earnings first fluctuated and then declined steadily before ending at nearly $50,000 in December.

From September onwards, the figures drop steadily before reaching their minimum value of around 5°C in December/January. Interestingly, the temperature patterns for Dubai are similar to Paris, although it has warmer winters and hotter summers. The lowest and highest temperatures in Dubai are around 20°C and 36°C respectively.

On the other hand, the temperature variations in Sydney are opposite to that observed in Paris and Dubai. Sydney has its hottest weather in December/January when the mercury hovers around 23°C. In the next six months, there is a gradual decline in the mercury levels which reach their lowest level of nearly 13°C in July. Thereafter, the temperature follows an upward trend until December.

Writing Task 2 Essay # Traditional food

January 11, 2021 Pooja Ph.D. CELTA

Academic Writing Task 2
You should spend about 40 minutes on this task.
Write about the following topic:
Convenience foods will become increasingly prevalent and eventually replace traditional foods and traditional methods of food preparation. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this opinion? Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge or experience
Write at least 250 words.

Sample Answer

Recent years have witnessed a dramatic change in the type of food people consume. Nowadays, convenience foods or most commonly known as processed foods form a major part of most people’s diet, especially in developed countries. Considering the strong influence of this trend on global food habits, it is often claimed that the popularity of such foods will rise substantially in the future and traditional foods will disappear. I completely agree with this statement.

There are two main reasons why processed foods are likely to become more popular in the coming years. Firstly, the decline in family size and the increase in single-adult households have rendered cooking unnecessary. In the past, people lived in large families where one person looked after time-consuming domestic tasks such growing and preparing food. Definitely, this way of living was more economical in those times. But, in today’s fast-paced world, where nuclear and single parent families have become the norm, preparing food daily is often seen as a useless and boring activity.

Secondly, the number of full-time working mothers is increasing day by day. Maintaining a fine balance between personal and work life has become a herculean task for many females. Most of them, therefore, prefer to use the fastest means of satisfying their children’s hunger. Since convenience foods take less time to prepare, they generally turn out to be the easiest option. Undoubtedly, this trend is a serious threat to the existence of traditional foods as our young children are highly likely to imitate what they see every day.

To sum up, I strongly believe that there is a close relation between our way of living and food habits. In this modern world, people are choosing ready to eat foods over conventional foods for two main reasons mentioned above. If this trend continues, I have no doubt that traditional food will become a thing of the past. (313 Words. IELTS Band 9 Standard)
