Day by day, governments are spending more and more tax money on health care due to the increase of various diseases and illnesses (List them - for example, diabetes) caused by the increase of overweight people. This essay discusses the root causes of the problem of obesity as well as examining its consequences.

First of all, the most common reason for gaining weight is due to a person's lifestyle. In the modern world, children are consuming too many high-calorie foods and beverages and are also not doing enough exercise. For instance, in the United States, it's common for children to spend 10% of their day/week (Please choose between day of week here) playing video games. This, with a diet of unhealthy foods such as pizza and burgers, combined with a lack of physical activity, will always lead to an excess in weight

Due to the increasing trend of this particular lifestyle, the increase of a person's amount of fat can ultimately lead to problems such as: weakening of the heart, breathing problems, digestion related issues, kidney failure and even death.

Overweight children become less energetic and get tired more easily. They also avoid participating in sport and neglect physical work which isn't just harmful on themselves but also to everyone else around them.

To sum up, it's clear there are various causes for obesity among children because of our modern lifestyle. Importantly, society must ensure steps are taken so we can overcome this growing risk of obesity.

Adverse effects (because you mentioned more than one problem, so plural noun) of overweight is obesity and other health problems. Due to increasing trend in negative(is there anything like negative lifestyle lifestyle,(bad sentence structure amount of fat deposit getting high, results in health risks such as weakening of the heart, breathing problems, digestion related issue and kidney (kidney ?).

Hi mate,

task response to the good, you tried to answer the question,
but poor control of grammar , almost none of them are flawless, that affects cohesion and coherence.

Poor choice of words on many occasions and inaccurate usage.

overall it demonstrates band 5.5 , control in grammar can get you band 6. avoid long sentences, substitute simple sentences that makes clear to the examiner, so you get marks for TR and CC.

Good luck....
