Write about 150-200 words.

Excellent answer: around CLB 11–12

Providing easy-to-understand nutrition labels in all restaurants and cafeterias (Option A) is likely to have the greatest overall impact. Transparency about calories, fat, and sugar content enables individuals to make informed choices every time they dine out. While cooking classes and food festivals (Option B) offer engaging opportunities to learn about nutrition, they appeal mainly to those who are already motivated. Comprehensive labeling reaches a broader audience and promotes long-term healthy eating habits across the population.

Good answer: around CLB 7–8

I believe clear nutrition labels are a more effective campaign. When customers see exactly what’s in their food, they might think twice before picking something unhealthy. Although cooking classes and festivals are enjoyable, only people who are already interested in healthy eating might join. With labels, everyone has access to useful information, so they can make smarter choices even if they don’t attend any special events. That’s why option A seems more impactful.

Basic answer: around CLB 4–5

I think nutrition labels in restaurants and cafeterias are the best idea. If people see information about the food, they can choose what is healthy. Some people do not know what is in the food they eat. Labels make it simple for everyone to pick better meals. Cooking classes and festivals are interesting, but not everyone will go. Option A helps more people every day.
