I wrote an essay for today’s topic here:)

Every day, millions of tons of food are wasted all over the world.
What are the causes of this problem?
What measures can be taken to solve this?

*Food waste has become a growing problem in many countries, perpetuating food insecurity for millions of people. While this can be attributed to strict food aesthetic standards and consumer behavior, the problem can be addressed by redistributing food surplus and taking advantage of mobile apps.

One major factor contributing to food waste is the high standards of perfection for the appearance of food. These standards often prioritize visual appeal, focusing on factors such as size, shape, color, and texture, which can result in perfectly edible food being thrown away simply because it does not meet the ideal appearance criteria. Korzinka, one of the well-known supermarket chains in Uzbekistan, recently faced criticism from the government and the public due to its careless attitude toward handling food. Unfortunately, despite such backlash, food waste remains a persistent problem. However, the public is not without fault either. Residential food waste is actually the most significant contributor to what is sent to landfills. This usually happens when people over-purchase or cook large portions that are not consumed, which often results from poor planning or lack of awareness.

However complex the problem might be, there are a number of ways by which it can be addressed. One effective measure would be to establish food redistribution programs. Such programs should collaborate with supermarkets and communities, particularly in areas where food insecurity is a widespread challenge, to ensure that perfectly edible yet aesthetically flawed food is not wasted. This action can have a two-fold impact by reducing the environmental impact of food waste while also alleviating food insecurity for many people.

Another approach, one that would complement the first, is to use food waste mobile apps. Such apps help users track what food items they have at home, preventing unnecessary purchases during shopping. These apps also send reminders about expiration dates or alerts when certain foods are close to spoiling, which can encourage people to use them before they become inedible. One such mobile application is ‘NoWaste’ which received overwhelmingly positive reviews among users.

In conclusion, the main reasons behind food waste are strict aesthetic standards for food and consumer behavior, such as over-purchasing and poor planning. However, this issue can be effectively tackled through measures like food redistribution programs and the use of innovative mobile apps.#task2#essay Band 8.5*

In our online writing intensive course yesterday, we discussed the use of fake statistics in IELTS essays. Here’s the key takeaway: any statistics you include—whether real or fake—tends to sound fake to the examiner. For instance: "According to statistics…

Being a teacher is a very rewarding job

Sometimes, I take huge pride in my job, especially when I see other teachers following me here in the channel and trying to learn something from me. It is mainly for this reason that I TRY to avoid making posts of no value to others.
