WRITING TASK 2 (AC + GT)
People should never eat meat because raising animals for human consumption is cruel. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this opinion? Give reasons for your answer, and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge or experience.
SAMPLE ANSWER
There are people who believe that we should not eat meat because it involves cruelty to animals, but I completely disagree with this point of view. Meat is important for good nutrition, people like it, and most farmers do not treat their animals cruelly.
Meat is important for a balanced diet because it is a major source of protein. It is possible to get some protein from other foods such as whole grains, eggs, and milk. Even eggs and milk, however, come from farm animals, and plant sources of protein are not as good as meat. Growing children, especially, need to eat meat in order to stay healthy and strong.
In addition, people like to eat meat. Most people are accustomed to having it at least once a day and may feel like they haven’t eaten well if they don’t have it. Meat also tastes good. There are so many ways to prepare it, and some recipes are an important part of a family or cultural tradition.
Even though some people say that farm animals are treated cruelly, that is not a reason for everyone to give up eating meat. In the first place, it is simply not true that farm animals are not treated well, in most cases. It is in the farmer’s best interest to keep the animals healthy and happy because it is the only way to get a good product that people will buy. And while there may be cases of animals being treated cruelly, I am sure that it is not common.
Meat tastes good, and it is good for us. Raising animals for meat is not cruel. It is a necessity for our health and well-being.
