IELTS - Writing Task 02 Question: 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. Discuss this view and give your own opinion. Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge or experience. Write at least 250 words. Answer: A considerable number of individuals take only vegetarian diets, because their belief is that it helps to improve their health and also it affects positively to the betterment of the wold altogether. Some people prevent from having meat or fish as there can be various cancer causing toxic in them. While, others don't eat non-vegetarian food as it causes acne and increase the cholesterol level. Though there are such health benefit on one hand, there is no way for them to get nutrients, such as animal protein, that are essential for the growth of human body on the other hand. Recent research shows that the green house gas emission, for example Carbon dioxide, has increased due to the mega scale farms where cows, chickens etc... are bred to produce meat. Ultimately, it contributes to the global warming. So, in a way, there are negative impact on environment, which can be avoided if people change their eating habits. That is being vegetarian is environmental friendly habit. My perspective on this is, it is each person's responsibility to decide to be vegetarian or non-vegetarian. If one prefer to eat meat or fish, there should be no restrictions. But he/she should be aware of the consequences mentioned above. I have seen that vegetarian people boast about being vegetarian and sometimes they tend to insult the non-vegetarians. I think it should not happen because it's their preference. With my own experience I know that vegetarians face difficulties when they go to special occasions, such as wedding and birthday parties. Since most of the time vegetarian food are not served on such occasions. I believe that we should consider to serve vegetarian food as well on special occasions. All in all, what we can conclude is there are advantages as well as disadvantages with being vegetarian.
