Teacher Reviews
Here's what a teacher thought of this essay
This work aimed to discuss the role of fast food in the causing obesity in the USA. There were many good points made, but there was a distinct lack of evidence to support them. When referring to ?research? it is important for the writer to make clear which research specifically is being referred to. It is still a little unclear as to how exactly fast food has contributed to obesity in the USA. The writer mentions the convenience and the things inside the food that make it so tasty, but has not yet clearly made the link between this and obesity levels. ?Connect the dots?, so the reader is not left uncertain of the argument. Spelling and grammar were good, as was the writing style. 3/5
