In some countries the average weight of people is
increasing and their levels of health and fitness are decreasing.
A template is
something that can be used over and over again to produce something. Template
IELTS answers are normally very bad and I tell people never to use them because
they don’t answer the question properly, but there is one exception.
In problem and
solution task 2 answers or causes and solutions task 2 answers, you will
normally use the following 4 paragraph structure:
Problem
Solution:
1.
Introduction
2. Problems
3. Solutions
4. Conclusion
Causes Solution:
1.
Introduction
2. Causes
3. Solutions
4. Conclusion
For the third paragraph for both essays we can use a template answer. Let’s look at a sample essay first.
Answer
In some
nations people are getting heavier and standards of health and well-being are
falling. This essay will suggest that the principal cause of these issues is
the type of nourishment they are eating and submit a government education
program as a viable solution, followed by a reasoned conclusion.
The main cause
of the health crisis currently affecting so many individuals is
over-consumption of poor quality sustenance. Convenience food and junk food,
such as microwave dinners, chocolate bars, McDonald’s and pizza, have become a
ubiquitous part of modern life. Eating too much of these high fat meals causes
many to gain weight and this has knock-on effects on someone’s general
wellness. For example, the movie ‘Super Size Me’ demonstrated that a person who
eats this kind of food all the time will not only get fat, but also suffer from
such things as raised blood pressure and even fatty liver disease.
The most
practical solution to this problem is a government sponsored awareness
campaign. An effective advertising campaign could warn of the dangers of a poor
diet and hopefully raise awareness amongst the public. For example, the
U.K. recently lobbied their citizens to eat 5 pieces of fruit and vegetables a
day and this resulted in a dramatic decrease in obesity related illnesses such
as stroke and heart disease.
In summary,
the current health crisis has been caused by an over-reliance on unhealthy food
and states should curtail this by educating men and women on how to makes
healthier choices. (250 words)
You will
notice in the third paragraph I suggest that a government advertising campaign
is the best solution. Luckily, for most problems - and I say most because there
are always exceptions - a government campaign that educates people about the
issue is always a good solution.
We can
therefore use the following template:
The most
practical solution to this problem is a government sponsored awareness
campaign. An effective advertising campaign could warn of the dangers of
[X] and hopefully raise awareness amongst the public. For example,
the U.K. recently lobbied their citizens to [Y] and this resulted in [Z].
All you have
to do is think about your particular question and then replace X, Y and Z.
I hope you
found this post useful. I also have a complete lesson on IELTS problem solution essays that you
