Some people think that environmental problems should be solved on a global scale while others believe it is better to deal with them nationally Discuss both sides and give your opinion

The environment has now become one of the most serious
problems
 that humans have to deal with.
While
 some people argue that these
problems
 should be solved globally, others think it is better to handle them on a national scale. In my opinion, I believe
countries
 should work together to tackle these
issues
 of the environment. On the one hand, there are some reasons why each nation should address its environmental
problems
.
Firstly
, a similar type of environmental problem in different
countries
 often has varied causes.
For example
, Australia faces the challenge of land degradation mainly
due to
 over-grazing, yet Indonesia’s degraded land is caused by deforestation.
Therefore
, those nations might plan appropriate solutions independently.
Furthermore
, each country has its priority at various

task response
For task response, the essay provides a clear and comprehensive response to the given prompt. The writer discusses both sides of the argument and provides a clear opinion.
coherence and cohesion
In terms of coherence and cohesion, the logical structure of the essay is well-maintained, and there is a clear introduction and conclusion. The main points are supported, and there is a good use of linking words and cohesive devices to connect ideas within and between sentences.

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
