Nowadays we are producing more and more rubbish. Why do you think this is happening? What can governments do to help reduce the amount of rubbish produced? Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge or experience.

There is a rapid increase of
garbage
that we generate an estimated 110 million tonnes per day of wastes to landfills in Hong Kong .
This
essay will discuss the main causes of the rise in rubbish , and the
government
also
has key roles to play in reducing wastes. There are various reasons why the landfill will be full to bursting with rubbish, but it seems that the lack of environmental awareness is the major one. We do not need to take financially responsible for

exhausting
landfills. Meanwhile , we
also
do not have some attractive incentives to reduce
waste
.
For instance
, Some selfish people prefer to choose disposable chopsticks or spoon rather than reusable tableware because of its convenience.
Therefore
, citizens who threw away the amount of trash overweight the limited quantities should be financially punished for the consequences of their actions. Reducing
waste
disposal at landfills is an important part of the
Government
's plan for
waste
management. The
government
can impose
garbage
tax penalties on Domestic
waste
. If they refuse to pay for the tax ,
then
they should be fined for being irresponsible. In some developed countries
such
as Japan, residents must pay a
garbage
fee of between USD100 and USD600 to dispose of their oversized trash.
Moreover
, the
government
also
have control over local school districts, and
hence
able to set up
waste
reduction programmes to increase student's environmental awareness in primary and secondary schools. As the result , I believe these measures would help to lessen
garbage
growth to a more sustainable level. In conclusion, each citizen should make their biggest effort to decrease the huge amount of
garbage
, while the
government
have regulatory roles to play in improving the environment before the damage to the ecosystem becomes irreversible.

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
