Some people think that instead of preventing climate change, we need to find a way to live with it. To what extend do you agree or disagree?

#people #climate #change
There is no doubt that
climate
 changes represent a major threat to life on Earth. Some people argue that we have to accept it rather than try to stop it.
However
, I completely disagree with the idea as I think we still have time to tackle
this
 problem by considering the contribution of governments and individuals and reduce the human impact on the Earth's
climate
. With regard to the government, there are various measures that the government can consider to prevent, or at least mitigate
climate
change
.
For instance
, high authorities could introduce laws to limit carbon dioxide emissions that lead to global warming.
Further
, the government can impose 'green taxes' on drivers, airline companies and other polluters so that they tend to think upon investment in renewable
energy
 production from solar, wind and water.
In contrast
, millions of people would eventually face many health-related issues,
such
 as lung cancer, breathing problems and many more respiratory diseases. As for individuals, people can
also
 contribute a lot to reduce the impact of
climate
change
, by using
energy
 efficiently. To illustrate
this
 point, as a person, we should try to limit the usages of
energy
, by flying less, using bicycles and public transport.
Moreover
, we should
also
 think to take various steps like consuming solar
energy
 efficiently and creatively to the consumption of water and natural resources.
Conversely
, if we try to live with
this
climate
change
, I do not think we even have the ability to cope up with a small rise in sea level, especially in those countries which do not have any means of safeguard in low-lying areas. Rather, the myriad of people might be displaced by flooding and lost their homes or jobs,
instead
, they might be required to migrate to nearby cities, or perhaps to other countries,
thus
 increased homelessness and poverty. In conclusion, it is clear to me that the governments and individuals have to come together and address
this
climate
change
 issue, rather than ignoring and living with
this
 problem.

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
