Individuals can do nothing to improve the environment; only governments and large companies can make a difference. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

#individuals #environment #governments #companies #difference
With the raising concerns about our planet and climate changes, it is frequently argued whether the individuals can bring a change or only huge organizations and government can improve the situation.
Although
, most of the time the hands are pointed towards the later one, I totally disagree with that opinion. I believe that common man can directly or indirectly help in the betterment of the environment.
Firstly
, citizens can take efforts to bring a positive impact on the environment by taking corrective actions as a group. In fact, humans play a major role in damaging the nature and the ecosystem around them by over usage of AC and motor vehicles which pollute the air. Humans are a part of
this
 nature, should try to avoid the usage of plastic and other
such
 substances.
Moreover
, they must use the natural resources sparingly.
For instance
, a small step to close the water tap when not used can create a dramatic impact on long term.
Secondly
, there are adequate number of policies and regulations imposed by lawmakers globally. As a responsible citizen, it is everyone's duty to adhere to these laws and extend possible support.
For example
, in my country better public transport has been introduced and many laws for car pool has been proposed as a move to reduce the number of individual vehicles on the road.
Moreover
, many large companies and NGOs are constantly organizing activities to save the nature and people can volunteer to make a difference. To conclude, the process of bringing change is a collaborative effort with active participation of government, companies and common men as well.

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
