Text dir ielts
Hi,
I would like to know what level you think this writing task would get in ielts. The question is: Some people choose to eat no meat or fish. They believe that this is not only better for their own health but also benefits the world as a whole.
My answer:
Nowadays people debate to what extent our lifestyle is dangerous for the environment and how we can prevent irreversible damage to the earth and to our health. For that reason some people don't eat meat or fish at all. In this article I will set out
some arguments for and against eating meat and fish.
Eating meat and fish provides us with many nutrients that are otherwise hard to find in nature, such as iron or vitamin B12.
Missing these vital vitamins can lead to disfunctional organs and, in some cases, death. Members of some cultures, such as the Inuit people, have historically had no other choice but to eat fish because they had no access to the resources or the space needed to grow food.
As for the positive aspects of avoiding eating meat and fish, one is that fewer rare species become extinct due to the
destruction of their environment. There are many places in the world, especially in the Amazon, where huge areas of rainforest have been destroyed purely to make space to grow food for animals such as cows and pigs.
Studies also show that at no time in human history have humans eaten as much meat as they do today. This extraordinary level of
meat consumption is bad for our health and leads to more strokes and lower life expectancy.
Overall I think that it benefits humans as well as animals to reduce our meat consumption. However, because there are some advantages to eating meat and fish, consuming reasonable amounts of both seems reasonable.0 votedMarch 21, 20171
