Some people think that planting trees in open spaces in cities and towns is more important than building houses. To what extend do you agree or disagree?

There are two opposing views regarding whether open areas in the
cities
should be used for constructing more houses or for planting
trees
. I partially agree with people who opt to build a tree in any free places in the
cities
in lieu of building houses. In

I will explain in details why I do not totally agree or disagree with replacing any areas with
trees
.
First
of all, the population of the world is growing at an uncontrolled speed and the need for new housing is growing
accordingly
. In some big
cities
around the world, so many people do not have a roof over their heads and are living on the street. In order to tackle
this
problem, we need more construction of small affordable housing.
For example
, in Stratkona park on Vancouver Island people are living in their tents or in their cars.
This
environment is not healthy for them especially during extreme weather condition.
Therefore
, we need to prioritize their needs for housing by building some small townhouses for them.
Although
prioritizing housing is paramount to curb homelessness in big
cities
, we should not undermine the importance of green spaces around towns. Needless to ,say that to have high-quality air in
cities
, we need to have
trees
and parks.
Trees
breathe carbon dioxide human exhale and give out the oxygen we need. They
also
moderate the temperature and clean up carbon monoxide and other pollutants from the air. It makes total sense to plant some
trees
in some small areas that are not used or needed for construction to have a healthy living environment.
Moreover
, we need to reduce the number of constructions in low populated
cities
. Overall, it seems to me that for removing poverty and homelessness in some crowded
cities
, we have no choice but to put emphasis

the construction of new housing units in free spaces. Whereas, in an area where housing is not in demand, we definitely have to plant
trees
and provide a healthier atmosphere for residents.

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
