(220–260 words)Task 2Write an essay summarising and evaluating the key points from Texts A and B. Use your own words throughout as faras possible, and include your own ideas in your answer. A: What is anorexia? It’s only natural for people to think about their appearance and maybe wish they could change something about themselves – maybe their teeth are a bit crooked or they wish they were taller. And this is especially true for teenagers. But when people become obsessed with being thin, when mealtimes are a nightmare and they have to hide their eating habits from their family, then they have a serious problem. Anorexia nervosa can lead to anxiety, fear, lies, illness and in some cases, even death. When someone has this eating disorder, the desire to lose weight becomes more important than anything else and they lose the ability to see themselves as they truly are. B: Magazines fuelling anorexia epidemic Body image is how a person views their physical self and for those in their early teens, it is closely linked to self-esteem. One of the reasons for today’s obsession with being thin and looking beautiful is the fact that the media are obsessed with women’s and sometimes men’s looks. We are bombarded with images of stick-thin, picture-perfect models and many people yearn to look the same. What we must realise is that these pictures have been digitally altered to create impossibly perfect images. Nobody, not even supermodels, look like that in real life.Write your essay.
