1.3. Dàn bài chi tiết
Introduction
Main idea
- Paraphrase the development: advances in food production and kitchen technology have made meal preparation considerably quicker and simpler.
- State a clear position: this has generally improved people’s lives because it saves time and makes home cooking more manageable.
Body Paragraph 1
Main idea
Easier food preparation improves people’s quality of life by reducing the amount of time and effort required for everyday cooking.
Supporting ideas
- Traditionally, preparing meals could involve time-consuming tasks such as washing, cutting, grinding or cooking ingredients for long periods.
- Pre-prepared ingredients and modern appliances allow many of these tasks to be completed much faster.
- This is particularly valuable for people who work or study full-time.
- The time saved can instead be devoted to work, rest, family or other responsibilities.
Example
- A working parent can use pre-cut vegetables and a rice cooker to prepare an evening meal relatively quickly rather than spending a considerable amount of time preparing every ingredient from scratch.
Explanation
- Since cooking is a daily necessity, even a modest reduction in preparation time can accumulate into substantial time savings.
- This can make busy schedules more manageable and improve work-life balance.
Body Paragraph 2
Main idea
Simpler preparation methods can also make home cooking more accessible, allowing people to rely less on restaurants and takeaway food.
Supporting ideas

- Convenient ingredients, simple recipes and modern appliances lower this barrier.
- More people can therefore prepare meals for themselves rather than purchasing ready-made meals.
- Home cooking also gives individuals greater control over ingredients, portion sizes and dietary preferences.
Example
- Someone with little cooking experience can prepare a basic meal using frozen vegetables, prepared ingredients and an air fryer without needing advanced culinary skills.
Explanation
- Convenience does not necessarily require people to abandon home cooking.
- Instead, making cooking easier can enable more people to incorporate it into their daily routines.
Conclusion
Main idea
- Reaffirm that easier food preparation has improved people’s lives.
- Emphasise the two main benefits: it reduces the time burden associated with cooking and makes preparing meals at home accessible to a wider range of people.
2. Bài mẫu
Advances in food preparation and kitchen technology have made preparing meals considerably easier than it was in the past. I believe this development has generally improved people’s lives because it reduces the time required for cooking and makes home-prepared meals more accessible to people with busy schedules or limited cooking skills.
The most significant benefit is the amount of time that can be saved on everyday meal preparation. Traditionally, cooking could involve numerous time-consuming tasks, including washing and cutting ingredients and monitoring food throughout the cooking process. Today, pre-prepared ingredients and appliances such as rice cookers allow many of these tasks to be completed far more efficiently. This is particularly beneficial for people who work or study full-time. A working parent, for example, can use pre-cut vegetables and a rice cooker to prepare dinner relatively quickly instead of spending a considerable part of the evening cooking from scratch. Since meals must be prepared every day, these small time savings can accumulate over time, leaving people with more time for their families, work or leisure.
Easier preparation can also make home cooking accessible to a wider range of people. Those with little cooking experience may find complicated recipes and lengthy preparation discouraging and consequently rely on restaurants or takeaway meals. Convenient ingredients and simple cooking appliances lower this barrier by allowing people to produce basic meals without advanced culinary skills. For instance, someone can combine frozen vegetables with other prepared ingredients and cook them using an air fryer with relatively little effort. Importantly, this still allows individuals to control what goes into their meals and adapt them to their own dietary preferences.
In conclusion, I believe easier food preparation has improved modern life. By reducing the time and skills required for everyday cooking, it makes people’s schedules more manageable while enabling more individuals to prepare their own meals.
