Almost every country in the world has problems with the environment, affecting its land, air or water. I believe the main troubles on land are land-fill sites full of rubbish and deforestation. In India,

, their streets are full of litter which causes fatal diseases and there is no place to empty them. Perhaps the most helpful thing we can do to tackle these difficulties is to reduce waste and recycle rubbish. To solve deforestation we need to plant more trees or flowers near the forests. The ways in which air is affected are as follows.
Firstly

impacting on air. I believe the best way to reduce these complications is by charging polluting factories high taxes and turning off appliances when they are no longer in use. The main effects of pollution and other environmental issues on water are global warming and contaminated rivers. In Uzbekistan,
for instance

, the sea which is called the Orol Sea was dried by the water coming from the rivers.
This

can be dealt with by enforcing strict wastewater treatment regulations for factories or industries. The solution to global warming is to use public transport more often or buy cars with less-polluting engines. It is crucial that these measures are taken in order to ensure a healthy future for our planet.

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
