Individuals can do nothing to improve the environment; only governments and large companies can make a difference. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

There has been an ongoing debate whether people or the
government
and large companies should do something to maintain the
environment
. Some believe that people do not have the
abilty
the quality of being able to perform; a quality that permits or facilitates achievement or accomplishment
ability
to do so and that only the
goverment
the organization that is the governing authority of a political unit
government
and organizations have the influence to do so. I disagree since

I
believe that individuals equally should be responsible as well as the
government
and companies to improve the
environment
.
Firstly

For example

its
stomach was filled with plastic bags and glass pieces. Unfortunately, the reason was due to careless hurling of food to the elephant in plastic bags by tourists and throwing leftover

On the other hand
, the ministry and many large companies should be responsible too. The
government
should allow and encourage people to join certain groups, that are concerned about the
environment
and try their best to clean and maintain
waste
filled areas.
Moreover
, industries should avoid throwing their
waste
into oceans, and other areas
instead
of disposing their
waste
in the proper way.
For instance
, the Nuwara wewa, which is a large lake in Srilanka, attracted

of negative response in 2015 when shoals of fish started dying. It was found out that, a nearby oil industry, is responsible for
this
due to the dumping of
nonusable
oil into the lake. In conclusion,

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
