Many believe that the most significant impact of
deterioating
become worse or disintegrate
deteriorating
environment is the extinction of various types of plants and animals.

, many are of the opinion that there are more pressing problems at hand due to environmental changes.
This

, the worsening situation of our climate has affected the
eco system

of vegetation and the
wild life

wildlife
severely. Several species of the animal kingdom have
aready
prior to a specified or implied time
already
gone extinct from the face of
this
earth, with more to follow if counter measures are not taken.
For example
, the dodo bird was declared extinct in 1964, caused by wide gaps within the ozone layer, which allowed excessive harmful sunrays entering its habitat. From
this
example, we can derive that if
this
continues, humans will be
next
in line facing direct impacts of these

On the other hand
, global warming is another world wide epidemic which has affected every aspect of life on earth. Due to rising temperatures caused by increased carbon footprints, several countries are facing

a threat
to their agriculture lands, along with significant damage to their irrigation systems. Water supply has
also
become scarce, especially in the African countries.
For instance
, Sudan had to buy water from its neighbouring countries in 2018, as it's streams went dry due to extreme heat waves, and had

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
