Some people think that environmental problems should be solved on a global scale while others believe it is better to deal with them nationally. Discuss both sides and give your opinion.

Many people believe that global warming, vehicular
pollution
, and numerous other environmental issues demand action at a worldwide
scale
since one country’s
pollution
impacts others. Others think that these issues should be tackled by every country independently as
pollution
is a local issue. I believe for ecological issues, both global and national level contribution, is required. Some people hold a view that environmental problems have to be tackled on a global
scale
. Issues
such
as global warming, air
pollution
and marine
pollution
affect all the countries around the world and need a joint effort to deal with. I believe that a reduction in greenhouse gas emission should be agreed in international conferences.
Also
, tackling
such
problems can be a financial burden on developing countries.
Hence
, developed countries should contribute more to financing solutions.
On the other hand
, some people believe that the
government
of each country should be responsible for tackling their domestic
pollution
issues. The
government
should educate people about conserving energy and recycling resources. Residents need to take responsibility for their actions.
For instance
, river
pollution
can be reduced by local people if they improve waste disposal. The
government
can provide better public transport which can help to reduce private vehicles on the road, which ultimately help in bringing down air
pollution
. The
government
has the authority to create strict laws to control different types of infections.
Therefore
, I think, domestic problems should be handled nationally. In conclusion, the opinions of people differ whether environmental problems should be solved on a global
scale
or national
scale
, I believe that both levels of solutions significantly depend on the nature of the problem and needs for the answers.

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
