There is more and more
litter
 being left on the streets in public places. I will discuss the reasons causing
this
 problem, and
also
 some solutions to it in
this
 essay. The reasons behind the increasing
litter
 left on the
street
 are the habits of modern
people
 and the inconvenience of trash

.
Firstly
, there are always some careless
people
 who have inadequate habits of throwing garbage anywhere.
Secondly
, there are more
people
 who take out fast
food
 from restaurants and eat it on the
street
 to save time for the busy day.
Thirdly
, there is a lack of trash cans in the towns and cities, so
people
 can not throw away their
litter
 when they are outside.
For example
, after work, many
people
 eat fast

 on the
street
 and can not find

 is the most radical way.
For instance
, in Taiwan, we teach children how to deal with

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
