Task-1
You should spend about 20 minutes on this task.
Write at least 150 words.
The charts below show the reasons why people travel to work by bicycle
or by car.
Summaries the information by selecting and reporting the main features,
and make comparisons where relevant.
Task-2
You should spend about 40 minutes on this task.
Write at least 250 words.
In some countries an increasing number of people are suffering from health
problems as a result of eating too much fast food. It is therefore necessary
for governments to impose a higher tax on this kind of food.
To what extent do you agree or disagree with this opinion?
Model answer
Task-1
The first chart shows the reasons why some people in the UK prefer to cycle to
work. Conversely, the second chart gives reasons for those who choose to go to work
by car.
The highest percentage of those who favour cycling say that this is because riding
a bicycle to work is healthier than driving. 30% of them gave this as a reason.
The same amount of people, 30% say that they cycle to work because it causes less
pollution. 13% of people cycle to work because it is cheaper than driving. Surprisingly,
a similar amount of people said that they cycled to work because it is faster than
travelling by car.
In contrast to this, the percentage who prefer to travel by car because it is
more comfortable is 40%. The two least important reasons for going to work by car,
with 14% and 11% respectively, is that people need to carry things to work and that
it is safer than cycling to work. Finally, 16% say they prefer driving because it
is faster than cycling. This contrasts with the cyclists who ride to work because
it is faster than driving.
In general, it seems that the majority of people who cycle to work do this for
health and environmental reasons. By contrast, those who travel by car want to have
a more comfortable journey over longer distances.
Task-2
In certain
countries people are facing too many health issues due to excessive consumption of fast food. Some people are of
the view that to bring this in control the government ought to increase the tax
on such food items. However, I completely disagree with this view as I feel
that imparting health related knowledge to the citizens and banning hazardous
food items are the best ways
to deal with this problem.
Undoubtedly,
consuming too much fast food leads to many health related concerns. To tackle
this, the government has to step in and impart education to the citizens
regarding the amount of fast food they can eat and its ill effects rather than
imposing higher tax as it will increase the burden on middle class people. To
illustrate, in most of the countries about 65% of the population consists of middle class and if
the state imposes higher taxes on any food item they will be the most affected
lot. Therefore educating people of all class about the health issues arising
out of junk food consumption is more feasible.
Fast food
contains certain ingredients which are extremely harmful to the human body.
Such ingredients should be banned by the government to deal with the health
problems arising out of its consumption. This step can eradicate the problem from its
root cause. For example, Ajinomoto is one such ingredient which is extensively
used in fast food preparations. Health specialists consider it as the slow
poison to the human body and it also causes cancer. This kind of food
substances used in fast food should be put on the banned list. This measure
will be more successful than increasing the tax on fast food.
In
conclusion, I firmly believe that imposing tax will not help much in solving
the health issues arising out of excessive consumption
of fast food as it will not address the root cause of
the issue; rather it would put more economic pressure on poor and middle class
sections of the society.
