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.

A major problem faced globally today, the one which matters the most is environmental degradation. Over a period of years, we have taken the environment for granted and exploited it beyond repair.
Although
everyone understands the importance of sustainability, there is hardly anyone fighting to protect it.
This
essay will speak about problem solving related to our habitat and whether it should be solved globally or nationally.
Firstly
, the worsening health of the earth, is a global worry, and a check is essential at the international level.
For instance
, the recent Amazon fire which broke out in Brazil, could not have been controlled without foreign intervention. The Amazon forests are the ''lungs of the Earth", and though the fire was in a specific country, the impact is felt worldwide. It could have been
further
prevented if quick actions were taken and the flames was nipped in the bud.
Subsequently
, dealing with environmental problems nationally, hasn't turned out to be too productive. To illustrate, the Indian government claims that the forest area in India has gone up by 3% in the
last
decade, but in reality, it has depreciated by more than 5%. The figures claimed and obtained, are
consequently
poles apart.
This
happens because there is no central, independent committee that would keep an eye on the ground activities of any governing body.
Lastly
, I believe matters of
such
grave concern should be handled unitedly. " Nature protects if it is protected." To safeguard the interest of the future generations, adequate steps have to be taken today, and now, by humans of all nationalities together. We have solely contributed negatively towards nature, and we are the only species who can think of solutions for the betterment of the world around us.

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
