. In my opinion, I strongly support the latter notion which states that there is a more imperative environmental

that needs to be curbed with immediate effect. Several people opine that the loss of specific types or species of plants and animals is the main issue facing the environment because life itself is based mainly on plants and animals. Unarguably, without plants, there would be no life on earth no matter the circumstance. Plants play a very crucial role in the
ecosystem

due to the fact that they absorb carbon dioxide that animals release into the air and give out oxygen to be reused by animals.

In addition

Therefore

On the other hand

which is

Word Count

IELTS says that you should write a minimum of 250 words in writing task 2. If you go under word count you will lose marks in task response.

A very long essay will not give you a higher band score.

Aim for between 260 to 290 words in writing task 2. This will ensure a concise essay and will be realistic in terms of time management. You have only 40 minutes to write the essay and you need around 10 minutes of planning time, so you will not be able to write a long essay in 30 minutes.
