Writing Feedback / Easier cooking food deteriorates our life in aspects of: health, happy status and traditional value [6]

Hi, first of all, thank you very much for your comments!
I agree with you that I should use "convenient" instead of "comfortable" :D
Moreover, I am with you again that the sentence "It is packaged with other necessary additives..." is irrelevant to the 1st major point! Maybe I'll replace or delete it!

However, do you think my essay is rather short when it comes to a TOEFL one???
Once again, thank you so much!

@canizarro: Hey thank you so much! I have to commit that I am very bad at choosing examples~ :D

Generally, I think your essay is a little verbose. You should rather use shorter and simpler structure, which is much safer. You know "KISS"???? :D

And it's difficult to follow your train of thoughts. Therefore, I think you should put major points at the beginning of each paragraph.
What is more, remember to check grammar mistake before posting.
Anw, I am just a student learning how to master English like you. Above are some of my comments from my shallow knowledge.
Hope it helps!

Writing Feedback / "we must live in big city" -which is best palce to live small town or city? [6]

In my opinion, you should check your grammar and spelling first. There are a lot of mistakes in your essay ( I have already corrected them but I cannot find the "attached file" button!!! )

Secondly, I think your essay are not very well-organized. I can't really get it what you are talking about. Moreover, the prompt asks you to CHOOSE ONE, not COMPARE THEM. It might be safer if you give reasons why you choose this or that, instead of comparing the two choices.

Finally, a model essay usually includes 3 major parts: introductory, body and concluding paragraph.
Hope my feedback can help you.
Cheers!

Writing Feedback / Easier cooking food deteriorates our life in aspects of: health, happy status and traditional value [6]

I am nearly new here, please check this essay for me. Thank you all in advance, for both viewing and feed-backing on my piece.

Nowadays, food has become easier to prepare. Has this change improved the way people live? Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer.

In modern life, everything is made more suitable for humankind. Among them, food is one of, which is becoming easier and easier to cook. From my perspective, this change has not improved our life but also made it worse due to certain reasons.

First and foremost, instant food is not good for our health. It is packaged with other necessary additives and all we have to do is mixing them together then boil the mixture. This kind of food is said to not supply us with enough nutrients or if yes, the nutrients themselves may be of low quality. Moreover, these kinds of fast food like noodle, humbuggers, hotdog, etc. possibly increase fat in our body, which will cause obesity. Indeed, fast food does harm to our health.

Secondly, quickly prepared food is likely to destroy our family atmosphere. It will rob us of the most valuable time when a family unite - meal time. Traditionally, family members gathered to set the table while the mother cooked. They had time to chat, to care for each others after a long time out. Therefore, the faster food is made, the shorter time they can spend together. What is more, a mother may be a little sad if fast food refrains them from showing their great cooking skills. Obviously, a rapid meal is not one's wish if he desires of a happy family.

Thirdly, where will our traditional cooking recipes go to if we continue to use instant food? With all sections prepared by producer, we do not have to bear in mind that annoying instructions. Gradually, we may forget them forever and our sons/daughters have nothing to pass down to their children. Finally, our tradion goes lost without our awareness.

In conclusion, easier cooking food deteriorates our life in three aspects: health, happy status and traditional value. I believe that we can likely enjoy a better life quality if we come back to traditional food, which proves to be much better in ways.
