Some people claim that not enough of the waste from home is recycled. They say that the only way to increase recycling is for governments to make it a legal requirement. To what extent do you think laws are needed to make peope recycle more of their waste?

Nowadays, recycling wastes from their initial sources, obviously, has been proven as the most effective and economic solution, so governments should focus to realize
this
 strategy by means of their authority, budget and cultural capacities. Though exercising authority is necessary to make people recycle from their homes, the
government
 should focus on encouraging
policies
 rather than strict prohibitive
policies
 to improve
this
 purpose.
First
 of all, without
government
 regulations, and just with cultural promotions, it's not possible to reach a serious outcome for
this
 purpose.
In other words
, utilizing the promotion techniques and fostering a recycling culture, despite being useful, do not work for significant changes.
Therefore
, the
government
 should take some measures for households to incentivise them toward more and better garbage recycling.
For instance
, by suggesting some annual tax exemption for households, Tehran municipality has been significantly successful to reverse back the waste recycling in its generation chain, especially in the 2nd and 5th districts, in which, reportedly, none of the municipality's cultural promotions has illustrated justifiable results.
In addition
, given that
government
 regulations are crucial for
this
 purpose, using encouraging
policies
 will work better by far, in comparison to preventive
policies
.
In other words
, in the case of recycling from origin
such
 could be the effectiveness of stimulating
policies
 that no punishment could be compared with it nor any fine-based regulation. In fact, behavioural economics research has proven that stimulating
policies
 like offering some partial tax exemption to whom they refine their garbage from the origin could be ten times more effective. To conclude, while leveraging the autocratic power of the
government
 seems necessary for better results in waste recycling, encouraging
policies
 should be weighted more over preventive
policies
.

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
