IELTS Writing Task 2 question

In many countries nowadays, consumers can go to a supermarket and buy food produced all over the world.

Do you think this is a positive or negative development?

Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge or experience.

Student answer (Band 6.0)

In todays world we can enjoy food produced all around the world in the supermarkets at once. In my opinion it is a positive developement for the country in many ways.

On one hand, food that are made all over the world differs from each other in texture and taste. Food made in southern part of the world could be something that people living in northern part have never even heard of. Though supermarket gives us the experience of enjoying and exploring such variety of foods all in one place, it brings a significant harm to local cusine and cultural foods of the country. As people will get more excited to taste the new flavored food all around the world, less emphasis or interest will to shown to local food as people are already acustomed to its flavor. But, these damages can be controlled by promoting local foods alongside other foos from different countries.

On the other hand, it is not possible for someome to travel all over the world and get a taste of their exclusive cuisinie but, if available in own country, if gives them a chance to do so. Food enthusiasts get to fulfill their dream without any cost of travel. Furthermore, it give us a chance to know and understand culture and food habit of people around the world. Nevertheless the economic benefits it will bring to the country is something to think about. Tourists who visits a differnet country will have the opportunity to find comfort in their local meals and consume them. Curious people will invest money on buying rare and different foods.

In conclusion, though there might be a chance of reducing local food business, we can fix it by promoting both worldwide and local cuisine equally. we can promote food products in social media and other internet platforms. Food lovers will initially want to try both local and worldwide food products.

Task Achievement / Task Response: Band 6.0

Your position is clear from the introduction: you consider worldwide food availability positive, while acknowledging possible harm to local cuisine. You address both sides with relevant points, including access to unfamiliar foods, cultural understanding, and possible economic benefits. However, some ideas are more fully explained than others. The concern that local food may lose popularity is developed with a reason and a proposed response, whereas the economic point about tourists and consumers spending money is asserted rather than clearly explained or supported with a specific example. The conclusion restates your view and suggests promotion, but could synthesise the main benefits more fully. Develop each key point with a clearer explanation or concrete example to make the response more complete.

Coherence and Cohesion: Band 6.0

The response has a coherent overall structure: an introduction, two body paragraphs presenting contrasting considerations, and a conclusion. Paragraphs generally have clear central purposes, and signposts such as “On one hand,” “On the other hand,” and “In conclusion” help readers follow the argument. Some connections are less smooth or precise. For example, “Nevertheless the economic benefits it will bring” does not clearly connect to the preceding point, and the shift from tourists finding familiar meals to curious consumers buying rare foods could be explained more explicitly. The conclusion also repeats the promotion idea without drawing the preceding points together. Use linking phrases that show the exact relationship between ideas, and make references such as “it” unambiguous.

Lexical Resource: Band 5.5

You use a relevant range of vocabulary for the topic, including “texture and taste,” “local cuisine,” “food enthusiasts,” and “economic benefits.” These choices help communicate the main ideas, and you attempt more specific expressions such as “exclusive cuisine” and “rare and different foods.” However, spelling errors and imprecise or unnatural word combinations are noticeable, including “developement,” “cusine,” “acustomed,” and “food habit.” Some phrases, such as “food made in southern part of the world,” are also broad or awkward. These issues do not prevent understanding, but they limit precision and control. Check spelling carefully and learn common collocations, for example “traditional local dishes” and “eating habits,” so your vocabulary sounds more natural and exact.

Grammatical Range and Accuracy: Band 5.5

You use both simple and complex sentence forms, including a concession with “Though” and a conditional construction beginning “As people will get more excited.” Most sentences communicate their intended meaning, but some grammatical errors remain. Examples include “food that are made … differs,” where the subject and verb do not agree, “it give us a chance,” and “Tourists who visits,” which also require agreement. There are also problems with sentence construction in “if available in own country, if gives them a chance,” and punctuation around “but” in that sentence. Review subject–verb agreement, articles and pronouns, and check that subordinate clauses have a complete, correctly connected main clause. Greater accuracy across these structures would make the argument easier to read.
