Moreover
, since
goods
 are constantly manufactured and updated, consumers keep buying new products and throwing away the old ones.
Consequently
, a lot of rubbish is generated. The rubbish is hard to dispose of, and if burned or landfilled, it pollutes the air, water and soil. It is particularly important to note that the packaging of many

. Recyclable materials and renewable energy should be developed and promoted in the manufacturing industry.
For instance
, solar and wind energy are replacing fossil fuels to provide energy supply in some factories.

In addition
 to these measures, I believe people should be encouraged to adopt low-carbon and eco-friendly lifestyles. If we could produce less and consume less, our planet would be effectively protected.

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
