Some people say that the main environmental problem of out time is the loss of particular species of plants and animals. Others say that there are more important environmental problems. Discuss both these views and give your own opinion.

People are arguing that whether the loss of
species
of plants and animals is the main environmental
problem
in today’s world, or there are some other emerging problems which are more fatal. In my opinion,
although
the loss of endangered
species
is worth concerning, we should be more worried about other earth problems
such
as the global warming process. On the one hand, there are two reasons why we should be concerned about losing some
species
.
Firstly
, if some of the agricultural plants are extinct from the earth, it will be
hard
Suggestion
harder
to feed the ever-growing population.
This
means people lose their food resources and
this
may lead to disasters like the starving of children. Actually,
this
is happening on tropical fruits like bananas which feed up to millions of mouths in Indonesia or the Philippines.
In addition
, pests may overwhelm every dirty place in cities and rural areas.
For example
, if there are no pest-eating birds anymore, cockroaches can grow bigger than mice and creep wherever they want.
On the other hand
, I would argue that global warming is a more serious environmental
problem
because it can make
lot
Suggestion
lots
of people nowhere to live and cause more deadly forest fires. With regard to the
living
Suggestion
liver
problem
, a higher temperature on earth means that there will be less glaciers.
This
can cause the increase of sea level and force people living by
water
Accept comma addition
water, such
such
as Japanese and British to move to
otherwhere
in other respects or ways
otherwise
. Concerning the fire
problem
, 2-3 centigrade higher than normal can make flames easier to thrive in the forests.
For example
, a piece of plastic can light up several hectares of bush which seems unlikely to happen if the temperature is not that high. In conclusion,
although
the loss of
species
is a concerning
problem
, I believe that other problems like global warming are more important.

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
