Band 7

Although many people value their public parks, this space could be better used for other purposes such as residential areas for ever growing population or to develop business and boost economies. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

It is true that there is a growing demand for more land to be used for residential areas and economic development purposes.
However
, I totally disagree with the idea that abandoning public
parks
 is the best way to solve
this
 problem. In my opinion, it is necessary to preserve our city and country
parks
 to assure people’s quality of life. These outdoor
spaces
 are essential for city dwellers to unwind from the hustle and bustle of life. In fact, these
spaces
 have become even more important to people during the pandemic and lockdown, when all gyms and sports centres are closed.
In addition
, public
parks
 provide a recreational and sportive place for diverse communities, including the elderly, families, and domestic workers, to gather and develop a sense of community. As
such
, public
parks
 play a vital role in the overall health and wellbeing of our communities. I
also
 believe that public
parks
 are eco-friendly outdoor
spaces
 that can significantly enhance, protect, and promote our environment. City and country
parks
 are home to many insects, plants, trees, birds, and other small animals. Not only do these open
spaces
 create small ecosystems, but they
also
 help biodiversity. What’s more, these places have greatly improved the pollution of our cities by purifying the air and reducing the noise. So, if they are replaced by residential or commercial areas, our cities will become less environmentally friendly and more polluted. In conclusion, I think
parks
 are of high value to

 of life and the environment and should not be sacrificed for other uses.
