Que: Environmental problems are too big for individual countries and individual people to address. We have reached the stage where the only way to protect the environment is to address it at an international level. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this statement?

Environmental issues are now too huge a problem for individuals and nations to tackle on their own. It has been suggested that international cooperation remains the only route to fight these problems. In as much as I agree that nations need to come together to put an end to these issues, I do not think that it is the only means to solving the problems. Admittedly, collaboration among the different countries of the world is an effective way of combating the menace.

Therefore

occurrence, all hands need to be on deck to protect the environment.
For example
, the United Nations organization has called for a forum among all key leaders of the world to reach a consensus and commit themselves on how to save the ozone layer from

depletion by substituting fossil fuels with alternative energy sources.
However
, as the need arises for nations to join hands together to save the planet from

damage, individuals
also
need to play their roles.
For instance
, people can opt for fuel efficient vehicles and power saving household devices to save fuel consumption and eventual fuel combustion which will collectively lessen greenhouse

Furthermore
, in a bid to reduce their contribution to pollution, countries on their own can put up policies and legislation against the enormous utilisation of

energy by local industries.
Besides
this
, they can put up measures to control traffic and lessen vehicular queueing on the roads so as to make the air cleaner. In conclusion, while I support that protection of the environment will improve when the world comes together, personal efforts by people and the different governments are
also
needed to save the planet from
further
degradation.

Include an introduction and conclusion

A conclusion is essential for IELTS writing task 2. It is more important than most people realise. You will be penalised for missing a conclusion in your IELTS essay.

The easiest paragraph to write in an essay is the conclusion paragraph. This is because the paragraph mostly contains information that has already been presented in the essay – it is just the repetition of some information written in the introduction paragraph and supporting paragraphs.

The conclusion paragraph only has 3 sentences:

  • Summary
  • Restatement of thesis
  • Prediction or recommendation

Example:

To summarize, a robotic teacher does not have the necessary disciple to properly give instructions to students and actually works to retard the ability of a student to comprehend new lessons. Therefore, it is clear that the idea of running a classroom completely by a machine cannot be supported. After thorough analysis on this subject, it is predicted that the adverse effects of the debate over technology-driven teaching will always be greater than the positive effects, and because of this, classroom teachers will never be substituted for technology.

Start your conclusion with a linking phrase. Here are some examples:

  • In conclusion
  • To conclude
  • To summarize
  • Finally
  • In a nutshell
  • In general
