Essay for reference - Writing task 2
There are many kinds of essays of writing task 2. Problem - Solution seems to be a difficult task because you have to state the problem and introduce the solutions to solve it.
There are two ways to do this kind of essay:
Method 1:
Introduction
Body Paragraph 1: The Problems
Body Paragraph 2: The Solutions
....
Conclusion
Method 2:
Introduction
Body Paragraph 1: Problem 1 - Solution 1
Body Paragraph 2: Problem 2 - Solution 2
....
Conclusion
The essay below is written in method 1, which shows the problem in Body paragraph1 and presents the solutions in Body paragraph 2 and 3.
Explain some of the ways in which humans are damaging the environment. What can governments do to address these problems? What can individual people do?
Humans are responsible for a variety of environmental problems, but we can also take steps to reduce the damage that we are causing to the planet. This essay will discuss environmental problems and the measures that governments and individuals can take to address these problems.
Two of the biggest threats to the environment are air pollution and waste. Gas emissions from factories and exhaust fumes from vehicles lead to global warming, which may have a devastating effect on the planet in the future. As the human population increases, we are also producing ever greater quantities of waste, which contaminates the earth and pollutes rivers and oceans.
Governments could certainly make more effort to reduce air pollution. They could introduce laws to limit emissions from factories or to force companies to use renewable energy from solar, wind or water power. They could also impose ‘green taxes’ on drivers and airline companies. In this way, people would be encouraged to use public transport and to take fewer flights abroad, therefore reducing emissions.
Individuals should also take responsibility for the impact they have on the environment. They can take public transport rather than driving, choose products with less packaging, and recycle as much as possible. Most supermarkets now provide reusable bags for shoppers as well as ‘banks’ for recycling glass, plastic and paper in their car parks. By reusing and recycling, we can help to reduce waste.
In conclusion, both national governments and individuals must play their part in looking after the environment.
Bold words and phrases are very useful for you to write in task 2.
