Sample answer
The growing number of elderly people living around us nowadays is a manifestation that the aging of the population has become one of the salient features of our lives, and this has a significant impact on both individuals and society.
Individually, the increase in life expectancy is a "blessed pain" for the elderly. In ancient times, longevity has always been a dream of the general public. But at present, as this pursuit has already been fulfilled, they find that ageing is accompanied by an increase in potential diseases to some extent. Older people are less resistant and need more care from their families, but this may place a financial burden on their relatives in an economic respect. In addition, increased longevity means that "delayed retirement" will become a reality. However, the relevant participants are less productive and less receptive to new things than younger newcomers, inevitably leading to a decrease in employment competitiveness.
【2021雅思作文题目汇总?2021年10月份雅思作文题预测】At the same time, social consequences may be brought. The one should be underlined is the aging of the population. Considering the cause of geriatric nursing, the government has to invest more in health insurance, and then in other social sectors such as education, environmental protection, and security. Besides, more and more senior people need pensions, and this will cause the next generation of young people to face more financial pressure. Moreover, whether pensions can withstand the impact of inflation is also a pressing social issue that needs to be addressed.
To sum up, although many people have achieved what the ancients dreamed of, the downside of this demographic trend cannot be ignored.

Sample answer
With international trade increasing greatly over the past few decades, now supermarkets can source foods from farms thousands of miles away. There could be several reasons why this is the case, and I think this is a desirable trend.
The first reason why we import food is that demand fuels supply. To explain, as food tastes become more international, consumers seek a more diverse food supply that is simultaneously tasteful and affordable. Western people, for example, have an increasing demand for Asian cuisines. These foods, if produced in countries where labor and production costs are just a fraction of those in their homegrown counterparts, are often sold at lower prices, which has further made food imports a desirable decision.
Another reason is the increasingly efficient modes of transport, including sea freight, road and rail transportation, and air freight, with which food can travel between continents and reach consumers’ tables within just one day.
Some people are criticizing food imports for, on the face of it, long-distance transportation generates great quantities of carbon dioxide emissions, but it is production emissions but not transport ones that dominate food emissions. I would argue that there are more positive impacts. Most directly, importing food enables people to access more high-quality choices. The quality is safeguarded as regulations on these foods are usually so strict that only the best ones can end up on the market. Not only that, but both importing and exporting create more available jobs such as intermediaries and haulers, boosting the economy on a global level.
In conclusion, to meet consumers’ demand for foods of more varieties, some food now travels thousands of miles to consumers, and the efficient means of transport has made this possible. As an indispensable part of our current food system, the food of long-distance travel benefits both consumers and the global economy.
