Some people say that economic growth is the only way to end world poverty and hunger. Others say that economic growth is causing damage to the environment and should be stopped now. Discuss both views and give your opinion.

It is true that some argue that the best option to combat the high
poverty
levels is the
growth
of the
economy
,
while
others would say that the big economic
growth
needs to stop since it is affecting the global natural
resources
, I believe that strategies need to be created to cut off the negative impact that the
planet
is facing. On the one hand, it is true that countries with a good economic
level
provide major opportunities for their population, and get a different lifestyle that lets them enjoy accommodations, security, food, and transportation, highlighting that the price of those benefits is increasing because of global changes, as they have to pay more for the electricity, food, have to install aco to the houses, due the rising
level
of heat. An example of
this
is Dubai, a developing
country
with a high
level
of heat in summer, reaching 50 Celsius, and that means that families need to pay more bills to spend time at home because they can not go outside to enjoy the day and countries with fewer
resources
can no access to better conditions, since they don't have a good
economy
, all of
this
is to cause of damage that humans have made to the
planet
, and now, they have to pay to search and create strategies to reduce the impact of the bad use of
resources
in the past.
According to
that, I believe a stable
economy
helps with
poverty
, but conservation strategies need to be implemented.
On the other hand
, the speedy
growth
of the
economy
is affecting the global
planet
, since there a big problems caused by the exploitation of fossil oil, deforestation, and mine excavation, among others. Those activities help with the development of the
country
but destroy the environment, as the uncontrolled use the natural
resources
,
Besides
, those actions allow people to be involved in the culture of getting more and more without any special need, just making a circle of who gets more. A big example of cultural capitalism is EEUU, a productive
country
that has a lot of demand for work with big salaries, and from that the population who lives there, are in the culture to buy constantly and throw out the not updates or old things since they are trying to be

are deposited in a pile of trash, generating pollutions to the
planet
. That's why, I believe that
although
a good

country
helps the
poverty
, uncontrolled economic
growth
without a restoration strategy is causing a big damage to the environment. In conclusion,

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.
