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

The earth is the greatest gift to us and as intelligent beings we
humans
have undeniable responsibilities to safeguard it. the greedy and ambitious nature of
humans
has made a lot of damage to the environment. Some say that at present the most bothering environmental issue is the
extinction
of rare
species
and for others, it is just a gist of the effect of other crucial environmental issues. I would say there are even more environmental issues we need to bother that cost lives to
extinction
.
This
essay will discuss both viewpoints and give my opinion to protect mother nature. The development of
humans
has led to the major global effects that caused the
extinction
of some
species
.
In other words
, the development and industrialisation of
humans
have affected nature to lose its balance in the ecosystem.
For example
, logging of the forest and expansion of land for industrialisation and agriculture have killed most of the ancient
species
to
extinction
.
Moreover
, the disposal of industrial and nuclear wastes in the ocean has affected a lot of sea
species
to
extinction
. Particularly the death of coral reefs has a direct impact on the ecosystem that would demolish the hierarchy of the food chain .
Moreover
, at present, the most critical alarming red alert is global warming. Human revolutionary garbage increased the carbon content in the environment which cause global warming.
For example
, the burning of natural resources in the atmosphere to generate electricity has caused most carbon emissions that would again spoil the environment and the ecosystem. In my opinion, we need to focus more on renewable energy and lead towards zero carbon emission projects to safeguard our one and only planet earth.

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
