"Nowadays, food has become easier to prepare. Has this change improved the way people live? Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer."
My answer to the exercise of TOEFL writing test above:
======== ======== ========
Yes, I believe that this change improved the way people live. Nutrition, time and money are the key reasons as to why this statement is true.
Firstly, more people have better chance to get good nutrition. This is because even people who are really busy, lazy or hesitated to cook try to prepare meal by themselves. Usually these kinds of people tend to eat something not really healthy such as fast foods outside too often and to lack necessary nutrition from vegetables. But if they realize that they can prepare food easily and quickly, they would try to do it and eat outside less often. Instead that you eat something unhealthy at cheap restaurant, currently you can even get healthy food which can be cooked easily and quickly at economic price in supermarkets and help to take well balanced nutrition.
Secondly, this change has given people more time to spend in other things because they can save time preparing meal. Thanks to this, people can spend more time in their hobby or study for their jobs. This clearly implies that this change enriches their lives and improves the conditions under which people live.
Thirdly, preparing food helps you to save money. Generally speaking, it costs much more to eat outside than prepare food on your own. So if you cook and eat inside and save some money, you can spend it in your hobby or whatever you want. This is like you get higher salary and helps you a lot to make your life happier.
For those three reasons that are nutrition, time and money, I strongly agree that the change that food has become easier to prepare has improved the way people live.

Firstly, more people have better chances to get good nutrition.
This is because even people who are really busy, lazy or hesitant to cook try to prepare meals by themselves.
Usually these kinds of people tend to eat something not really healthy, such as fast foods, outside too often and to lack necessary nutrition from vegetables. *It would sound more natural to say: "Usually these kinds of people all too often tend to eat something not really healthy, such as fast food, which lacks necessary nutritional values."
But if they realize that they can prepare food easily and quickly, they would try to do it and eat outside less often.
Instead that you of having to eat something unhealthy at a cheap restaurant, currently now you can even get healthy food which can be cooked easily and quickly at an economic price in supermarkets. and This helps to take in achieving a well balanced nutrition diet.
Secondly, this change has given people more time to spend in on other things, because they can save time preparing meals.
Thanks to this, people can spend more time in doing/enjoying their hobby or study for their jobs.
Generally speaking, it costs much more to eat outside than to prepare food on your own.
So if you cook and eat inside and save some money, you can spend it in on your hobby or whatever else you want.
This is like you getting a higher salary and helps you a lot to make your life much happier. / This is just as good as getting a higher salary... / This is just as beneficial as getting a higher salary....
For those three reasons that are - nutrition, time and money, - I strongly agree that the change that food has become easier to prepare has improved the way people live. *You can use hyphens to set aside additional information in a sentence: For those three reasons - nutrition, time, and money - I strongly agree.....
Anyway there's no doubt I need to do more exercises. / ....I need more practice.
The organization and flow was good, too.
Keep up the good work^^
You'll absolutely be a great teacher! =)
You seem to be a quick learner, so I am confident that English will become better in no time!
Thank you for the kind comment, I will do my best to become a great teacher^^
saving time and money is true and convincing. Paragraph about nutrition is skeptical as you pointed out, but if you focus on those who eat fast foods etc, that statement would be true. Any ideas other than the bad nutrition problem you mentioned didn't pop out in my mind, so I chose to go in affirmative side =)
But as I said, personally I like to cook and be careful to eat many instant food!
but just like you said, be careful with what we eat is better choice ^___^
