Some people say that the main environmental problem of our time is the loss of particular species of plants and animals. Others say that there are more important environmental problems. Discuss both these views and give your own opinion.

The loss of individual species of plants and
animals
 currently brings about harmful effects on the environment. While some people believe the levels of these problems should be strictly controlled and considered, I would argue that other factors play a major role in environmental problems. On the one hand, it is believed that particular species of plants and
animals
 are the main environmental problem.
Firstly
, since modern
life
 is getting busier than in the past, businesses tend to cut down trees, clear forests to get land for construction.
Therefore
,
this
 leads to erosion, landslides, floods.
As a result
, plants are disappearing and no longer greening in the earth.
Secondly
, rare
animals
 are becoming more extinct due to overhunting and poaching by humans.

so that their loss has a negative impact on our lives.
On the other hand
, I believe that other environmental factors are more deserving of our attention. Pollution is a global hot issue attracting everyone.
This
 is because the current number of cars being manufactured and used is increasing, which causes high levels of exhausted fumes and makes air pollution become serious.
Furthermore
, the phenomenon of ice melting causes

.
For example

Therefore
, many governments and scientists make an effort to find a solution to sustain human
life
. Anyway, people tend to care more about personal interests than the community, so the factors that directly affect them
such
 as pollution, ice melting will attract stronger attention to them, and
this
 problem might bring about serious impacts.

Support ideas with relevant, specific examples

Examples make your writing easier to understand by illustrating points more effectively.

Examples, if used properly, not only help you get higher marks for ‘Task Response’ but also for ‘Coherence’.

When giving examples it is best to put them after your main idea or topic sentence. They can be used in the middle of supporting sentences or they can be used to start a new sentence. There is no rule for where exactly to give examples in essays, logically they would come after your main idea/topic sentence or just after a supporting sentence.

Linking words for giving examples:

  • for example
  • for instance
  • to illustrate this
  • to give a clear example
  • such as
  • namely
  • to illustrate
  • take, for example
