Not enough people realise the importance of natural world. What is the reason for people's lack of awareness? How can people be made more aware?

Over the years, human needs have become so overwhelming to the point that people are no longer conscious of the necessity of their natural environment. I strongly believe that technology has a big role to play in
this
and one way to reverse
this
trend is by inculcating more green activities.
To begin
with, people are no longer interested in the habitat of plants and animals again because technology has created a big distraction.
In other words
, as lives evolve, science has made it a must that new devices and tools are created to make people happy and comfortable.
As a result
of these new creations, humans are quick to forget about the trees in a garden or the animals in the zoo, but are more interested in unravelling the puzzles behind new devices and how to get on top of it.
For example
, there has been a big decline in the number of attendance to the zoo since the iPhone mobile released their latest range of devices in Nigeria.
On the other hand
, the government can create awareness programmes in order to sensitize the public about how important their surrounding vegetation is. They can create programmes
such
as "Green Evolution", in order to inculcate the habit of planting a tree in their homes and surroundings.
For example
, after the Lagos State Governor made it a law that every house must plant a tree in their homes, there was a tremendous change as people were more sensitive to different plants in their suburbs. In conclusion, while technical innovations have blindsided people about the need to appreciate their surroundings, I believe that the most suitable way to reverse
this
trend is by encouraging more planting by citizens.

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
