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 views and give your opinion.

Pollution has become one of the most threatening
problems
all over the world. It is argued that
this
problem should be tackled on a global scale, whilst others think it is better to be solved locally. In my opinion,
although
local
experts
know more about their local
problems
and are able to solve them, I believe that pollution is a global issue and needs collaboration from all
experts
all over the world to decrease it. Some would argue that local
experts
know exactly what are the
problems
in their country and know how to deal with them perfectly.
In other words
, these professionals know exactly what are the reasons behind the pollution in their states and know how to decrease it.
For example
, five years ago, there was a dramatic increase in the lead levels in the River Nile in Egypt, and environmental
experts
knew that
this
is because factories near it get rid of their sewer water directly to it.
However
, I believe that these kinds of
problems
do not affect the global environment. Others believe that the major reason behind the environmental
problems
is the deterioration of air quality.
This
means that due to the over usage of fossil fuels there is an increase in greenhouse gas.
As a result
of
this
, the earth's temperature is on the rise and
this
leads to many
problems
.
For instance
, floods in Ethiopia lead to famine and the death of thousands of people.
Therefore
, I believe that it is the responsibility of all
experts
all over the world to collaborate and find solutions to
this
global problem. In conclusion, I believe that it is mandatory to solve major threatening conditions
such
as environmental
problems
on a global scale to have better solutions for them to save all creatures on our planet rather than on a local scale because local will just solve local environmental issues.

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
