Topic 3 Nowadays, food has become easier to prepare. Has this change improved the way people live? Use specific reasons to support your answer.
These days, the appearance of numorous kinds of food provides people with more choices to choose from. An increasing number of them have already been prepared, such as instant noodles and dumpling, leading to the fact that cooking has become much easier than before. Obviously, this significant transition has certain influence on our life. Some people promote this change as it heightens the level of their living, while others argue that it doesn’t have any beneficial influence on their living quality. Personally speaking, I agree with the former one.
Among all the reasons, one can’t be ignored that this alternation brings convenience to people’s daily busy life. Before the emergence of food which doesn’t need elaborate preparing, people have no choice but to do it themselves in spite of the fact that working has already taken up much of their time. Endless to say, they have limited time for relaxing, such as reading books, going to the theaters or climbing the mountains. After this kind of food is available, there is no need for people to do time-consuming preparing work. In this way, the time spent on food preparation is greatly eliminated. Therefore, people’s everyday life has got much more convenient. Also, thanks to the presence of food requiring no complex cooking, people have many more opportunities to eat delicious food in their ordinary life. As we all know, the more appetizing the food is, the more intricate the cooking process is. However, not knowing how to make the tasty food, the chance are rare that people eat them as often as they want. Take dumpling for example. A great number of people are crazy about dumpling, but don’t have the capability of making dumpling by themselves. It is the various kinds of dumpling accessible at the supermarket that solve the problem successfully. Were there no such dumplings, they had no alterative but to go to the restaurants. Clearly, all the analysis discussed above points to a sound conclusion that food which doesn’t demand much preparing conspires towards a comfortable life. I admit that sometimes easy-preparing food results in some minor drawbacks, yet compared with the advantages it brings about, on no condition can we ignore the improvement in people’s living.
