Nowadays

plastic

bags have become an integral part of our life. Despite the fact that they are cheap to produce and easy to use,

plastic

bags

also

cause enormous pollution both on land and in oceans. For that reason some people claim they should be banned. I absolutely agree with

this

statement due to two reasons, which will be

further

discussed in

this

essay.

First

, we should care about our future. It is a well-known fact that humans have the ability to analyse and make conscious decisions.

However

, people still do not realise a close connection between the environment and people's health.

Plastic

bags cannot be thrown away, buried or burnt without any consequences. Indeed, it is our children who will be left to deal with these consequences, and there is no guarantee they will manage.

Hence

, the sooner we stop producing

plastic

bags, the safer it will be for future generations.

Second

, it is not as difficult as it may seem. Today, people have created eco-friendly alternatives to

plastic

bags using various materials. There are organic fabrics like hemp, cotton, flax just to name the few.

Although

manufacturing of

such

bags might be more co

stly than of

Suggestion

costly than

plastic

ones, they are multi-us

able,

Suggestion

use

which makes them more advantageous in a long-term perspective. To conclude, I think there is evidence to suggest that

plastic

bags should no longer be produced. Not only does

plastic

pollute the environment, but it

also

has a detrimental effect on people’s health.

Moreover

, living merely in the present and not having a bigger picture might cost mankind a high price.

Therefore

, we should become more mindful about the planet we live on for our own sake.

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 this contemporary era, while television has become the primary entertainment medium for many people, some individuals favour radio.
