IELTS writing about convenience food Many people today frequently consume convenience food because of the fast pace of life and irregular working hours. It has a trend to replace the traditional food. In my opinion, traditional food is an inalienable part of our culture, and we should not let this change happen. Convenience food like its name implies, is usually convenient to prepare which presents a huge advantage in this fast-moving modern society. It saves us a lot of time, so we can put more energy to our work and gain competitive edges. In addition, we do not have to be good cook to prepare our meals. For example, we just need to put a frozen pizza, which is available in every supermarket, into a microwave or an oven, after 15 minutes, a delicious pizza can be served on table. But here comes the problem: convenience food can affect people’s ways of life, including eating habits. Traditional means of food preparation are known for the diversity of ingredients, cooking styles and flavors, and many traditional foods show the evolution of cuisine in different regions. The cooking of traditional food includes a number of factors, such as color, aroma and taste, and most importantly, nutrition. Although traditional foods will take a longer time to prepare, it is healthier and tastes better than convenience foods. In addition, traditional food has an positive affect on family relationship. In general, the process of food preparation provides family members with an opportunity to communicate with each other and improve cooperation with family members. And the delicious dishes also can attract them to eat at home. This is a smart way people can contribute a lot to family members’ health. Convenience food started out to meet the demands of those who cannot afford time to cook traditional food. Now, it is a part of our lives. On the other hand, traditional food has its irreplaceable advantages. Overall, the co-existence of the two kinds of foods will make our life more colorful.
