Deforestation provides a lot of needed material for furniture making and construction despite the drastic environmental impacts. Do you think the advantages of deforestation outweigh the disadvantages?

People have a myriad of views about whether
deforestation
brings more benefits than drawbacks.
Although
there are some advantages of the deforest events, I believe they are outweighed by the disadvantages. In
this
essay, I will probe into both sides and explain my own perspective.
To begin
with, of all the reasons why
deforestation
brings beneficial effects to the community , probably the most significant factor is that it provides a large amount of wood which is the raw material of furniture and buildings. As we all know, the phenomenon of deforesting implies that enormous trees are being chopped down

to make different daily necessities in life, ranging from cupboard and chair to table.
Likewise
, woods

act as the foundation of the establishment of a new building. When cutting more trees, more products made from wood can

be produced, and in turn beneficial to the public by improving their quality of life. Despite the increase in the availability of wood supply, under no circumstance should we overlook the fact that
deforestation
brings obvious drawbacks to the environment. The first idea popping into my mind is the accumulation of carbon dioxides in the atmosphere which causes serious global warming.
As plants

are responsible for photosynthesis by absorbing the carbon dioxide in the atmosphere and

releasing oxygen for living organisms. If there are more and more Greenlands being demolished, the rate of photosynthesis will

diminish,
as a result
, the carbon dioxide in the air will be accumulated. It is without a doubt that
this
intensifies the greenhouse effect and
thus
worsens the global warming situation. Another point to note is that global temperature will rise to the optimal level. It is true that global warming brings about the sea level rising
as well as
the glaciers melting.
For example
, the average temperature in Hong Kong has surged roughly 5 degrees in recent decades thanks to the severe global warming situation.
Hence

Word Count

IELTS says that you should write a minimum of 250 words in writing task 2. If you go under word count you will lose marks in task response.

A very long essay will not give you a higher band score.

Aim for between 260 to 290 words in writing task 2. This will ensure a concise essay and will be realistic in terms of time management. You have only 40 minutes to write the essay and you need around 10 minutes of planning time, so you will not be able to write a long essay in 30 minutes.
