In many countries, the number of animals and plants is declining.
Why do you think this is happening?
How can this issue be solved?
There is widespread concern over recent declines in global biodiversity. In my opinion, the
clearest causes relate to human overpopulation and the solutions are for governments to
prioritize conservation reforms.
The primary catalyst for these declining numbers is the growth of human population figures.
The global population increases yearly and this has a number of ramifications for the natural
environment. Most directly, residents require homes and that necessitates intrusions, as
evidenced by the uncontrollable urban sprawl around major metropolitan areas. This means
plants and animals lose their natural habitats. A more significant consequence concerns
industry. In order to provide food and various products and services for a large human
population, corporations have razed entire forests, drilled for oil in pristine natural
environments, and greatly exploited the natural world at the expense of wildlife.
This problem can only be effectively tackled by governments. Governments must establish
clear regulations concerning the habitats of various plant and animal life. A good example of
this would be the numerous national parks established in the United States at the beginning
of the 20th century. At that time, industry was threatening to corrupt the majority of usable land
and so the government and visionary reformists acted decisively out of a spirit of conservation.
Other countries that take similar steps wil also be able to curb the relentless, and often
thoughtless, progress of humanity.
In conclusion, plant and animal life is at risk due to growing human populations and
governments can best mitigate this threat. Individuals should also play a small role by reducing their consumption. (282 words)

The world’s air pollution levels are rising year on year. Discuss what you feel are the
causes and effects of this disturbing trend. lOMoAR cPSD| 58707906 IELTS WRITING TASK 2
CAUSES-EFFECTS-SOLUTIONS
The growing level of airborne pol utants has proven to be a major obstacle for humanity in the
21st century. To address this issue, encouraging popular understanding is a paramount first
step. This essay wil examine the major causes and effects of atmospheric pol ution.
The fact that the air quality is on the decline may derive from two main reasons. Firstly, the
greatest causes of airborne pol ution growth today come as a result of both progression in
the developing world and wastage in the developed world. For example, as the affluence of
over 2 bil ion Indian and Chinese people continues to grow, sales of pol ution-causing vehicles
wil move in tandem. As this phenomenon compounds with the tremendous levels of pol ution
already coming out of the developed world, a recipe for unshrinking levels of air pol ution can
be seen. Thus, demand for petrol vehicles in the developing world and resource wastage in
the developed world can be concluded as today’s greatest causes of airborne pol utants.
The effects of these airborne pol utants tend to manifest themselves as health issues. For
instance, it is estimated that a larger percentage of children have asthma today than ever
before in human history. To make matters worse, scientists are now finding air pol ution can
cause abnormal foodstuffs growth among farming populations the world over, and
consumption of these foods has been linked to cancer. Thus, growing asthma and cancer
rates are the most chil ing effects of the world’s rising air pol ution.
In conclusion, unfortunate trends in the developed and developing worlds are inciting swelling
numbers of asthma and cancer sufferers. These are considered to be the most significant
causes and effects of the planet’s air pol ution levels. Thus, controlling byproducts of human
activity has to become central to humanity’s collective strategy for the 21st century. (282 words) Sample essay 3
There is growing evidence that man-made activities are making global temperatures higher.
What are the causes of temperatures rising?
How should we deal with this problem?
There are many signs that the activities of mankind are leading to global warming. This
essay wil discuss the reasons why this problem is occurring, and make some suggestions
about how this issue can be tackled.
Perhaps the main cause of global warming is that populations are rising in almost every
country, and this is causing trees to be constantly cut-down to provide shelter and also food. Trees are important
because they absorb CO2 Another factor that is causing CO2 to rise is the industrialisation
and rising levels of CO2 have been linked to higher temperature levels. of our societies.
Today, we have more and more factories and they are causing high levels of pol ution in our
atmosphere. Industrialisation is also leading to the burning of fossil fuels to power the
factories and this is also another source of carbon emissions. Therefore, economic activities
are another cause of our planet warming.
Urgent attention is required to deal with the problem of global warming. The main way to
tackle this is for forests to be protected and new trees grown . This can be achieved by the lOMoAR cPSD| 58707906 IELTS WRITING TASK 2

government making laws to protect the remaining forests. Grass root programs could also be
started to plant new trees. In addition, the government should create incentives for factories
to adopt clean energy programs to reduce the pol ution they are emitting.
In conclusion, the earth’s temperature is rising because of deforestation and industrialisation.
The solutions are to start preserving our remaining forests, plant new ones and to switch to
cleaner energy sources. [256 word) Sample essay 4
All over the world, the number of overweight people is growing. What do you feel are
the main causes of this? What are the effects?
Global obesity rates have been swelling for several decades now. This is a trend that is having
devastating effects on populations everywhere. Although often debated, it is felt that the food
a person eats and the lifestyle they live are the base precursors to this problem. In this essay,
a look at these causes and their effects wil be made.
Firstly, diet and lifestyle are the two most major catalysts of obesity. Evidence of this can be
seen in any developing country. For example, in China, growing affluence has led people to
consume more fast food and live more sedentary lifestyles. This trend moves in tandem with
a steady growth in the number of overweight people. Thus, as this makes clear, changing
dietary practices and levels of activity are at the root of swelling waistlines.
The major effects of this are entirely negative. As evidenced in the United States, growing
obesity rates lead to growing rates of diabetes, heart disease and high blood pressure. This
has led to the first generation of Americans ever with shorter life expectancies than their
parents. Thus, it is clear that these effects need to be countered to enhance the quality of life for future generations.
In conclusion, it is felt that education is the single most important counter to this problem. Thus,
it is hoped schools everywhere encourage children to eat a nourishing diet and practice a
healthy lifestyle in an effort to change this disturbing global health trend. Sample 5
In some countries the average weight of people is increasing and their levels of health
and fitness are decreasing.
What do you think are the causes of these problems and what measures could be taken to solve them? lOMoAR cPSD| 58707906 IELTS WRITING TASK 2
CAUSES-EFFECTS-SOLUTIONS
In some nations, people are getting heavier and standards of health and wel -being are falling.
This essay wil suggest that the principal cause of these issues is the type of nourishment they
are eating and submit a government education program as a viable solution, followed by a reasoned conclusion.
The main cause of the health crisis currently affecting so many individuals is over-
consumption of poor quality sustenance.
Convenience food and junk food, such as
microwave dinners, chocolate bars, McDonald’s and pizza, have become a ubiquitous part of
modern life. Eating too much of these high-fat meals causes many to gain weight and this has
knock-on effects on someone’s general wellness. For example, the movie ‘Super Size Me’
demonstrated that a person who eats this kind of food all the time wil not only get fat but also
suffer from such things as raised blood pressure and even fatty liver disease.
The most practical solution to this problem is a government-sponsored awareness
campaign. An effective advertising campaign could warn of the dangers of a poor diet and
hopefully, raise awareness amongst the public. This raised awareness of the problem would
lead many people starting a healthier regime. For example, the U.K. recently lobbied their
citizens to eat 5 pieces of fruit and vegetables a day and this resulted in a dramatic decrease
in obesity-related il nesses such as stroke and heart disease.
In summary, the current health crisis has been caused by an over-reliance on unhealthy food
and states should curtail this by educating men and women on how to make healthier choices. Sample 6
Many offenders commit more crimes after serving the first punishment. Why is this
happening, and what measures can be taken to tackle this problem?
A large number of criminals who serve their first prison sentence, leave prison only to reoffend.
This is mainly because of the lack of rehabiltation and difficulty finding regular employment
once released. There are a number of solutions which could be implemented to deal with criminals who reoffend.
Firstly, the reason for most first-time offenders for commiting crimes again, once they have
been released from prison is due to the lack of rehabilitation whilst in prison. In other words ,
offenders are not given a chance to retrain and learn new skil s for their future or develop a
deeper understanding of correct moral behavior and instead mix with other criminals, which
only strengthens their criminal intentions. Secondly, repeat offending is also owing to the
difficulty in finding employment after being released. As a result, many of them struggle
financially, which leads them back to crimes regardless of consequences.
There are two effective solutions to the problem of repeat offenders . One way to tackle this is to ensure that all criminals entering prison are given the
chance to retrain with useful skil s
which will hopefully ensure them a job after they have served their sentence. By doing this, it
wil help them reintegrate back into society and give them some means of supporting
themselves financially. Another method of dealing with criminals who reoffend is to have more
supervision and checks in place when they are back in society. This solution would hopefully
prevent them from taking any chances and deter them from reoffending because they are being closely watched. lOMoAR cPSD| 58707906 IELTS WRITING TASK 2
CAUSES-EFFECTS-SOLUTIONS
In conclusion, having training in prison and also close supervision when first time offenders
are released are effective in dealing with the issue. If governments implemented these
solutions, crime figures would soon drop. (290 words) Sample 7
Many people are working longer and longer hours. What are the reasons and effects?
Working longer hours is a growing tendency in society nowadays. The primary cause of this
change is excessive workloads and the effects on one’s health and quality of life are decidedly detrimental.
The need to work additional hours often stems from increasing demand in the workplace . To
keep up with competition in an increasingly globalised marketplace, employees are
expected to assume a high volume of work, often with inadequate staff levels and support.
This has resulted in employees having to work extra hours to compensate, which is
exemplified clearly in IT-related sectors. A program developer in Vietnam generally spends
an average of 10 hours at work per day integrating complicated software systems, which
would not be necessary if he was accompanied by a colleague.
Extra office hours can adversely affect workers’ health, as well as their personal lives. First of
all, working overtime can lead to a lack of sufficient rest, decrease in energy and
eventually health conditions in extreme cases. This is il ustrated in research conducted in
Japanese white-collars workers, who have to sit in their offices for up to 14 hours, resulting
in spinal injuries, arthritis and increased risk of strokes. In addition, as more time is
spent at work, workers necessarily have less time for their loved ones, which can weaken
bonds between family members and friends. As a result, this can generate a feeling of
general dissatisfaction in individuals, potentially becoming a catalyst for stress and
depression in the long run.
In conclusion, extended working hours are associated with increasing demands in the
workplace, preventing employees from leading a healthy and balanced life. Therefore, I
believe governments should enact laws that impose weekly overtime standards for corporations. Sample 8

There are two underlying reasons why workers have a tendency/tend to spend more time on
working. The primary reason is that they aspire to receive a higher income. In fact, earning
additional money can allow them to afford daily necessities which are becoming more
expensive/costly. It is also necessary for them to pay for other expenses such as medical
bil s for elderly parents, tuition fees for children and their personal interests. Furthermore, the
requirement to work longer hours may derive from increasing demand in the workplace. As
the market is becoming intensely competitive, most businesses or companies force their
employees to work overtime in order to make/generate more profits (increase profits). For
instance, since the Covid-19 pandemic broke out, there has been a significant rise in
demand for Covid-19 kit test. Therefore, workers have to spend about 15-20 hours per day
to complete orders. Obviously, working long hours is a growing tendency in modern workplaces. Effect

….might have negative/adverse impacts on not only A but also B.
C1: suffer from many physical and mental health problems +injuries +stress and depression
C2: spend less time for their family and friends weaken family bond and friendship
Extra working hours could have serious implications for workers’ health as well as their
personal lives. The first and foremost consequence is that workers who work too many hours
might suffer from numerous physical and mental health problems. This is because they can
run out of energy or lack time to rest properly at the end of the day. Sitting behind the desk
or moving too frequently can result in/lead to physical fatigue and injuries, or even strokes
when they are mentally stressed. In addition, if they spend too much time at work, they wil lOMoAR cPSD| 58707906 IELTS WRITING TASK 2

have less quality time for their family and friends. As a consequence, this can weaken family
bonds between family members and lead to deterioration in the ties of friendship.
In conclusion, the trend towards working excessively among workers can be attributable to
their wish to gain higher salary and a rise in demand for products and services, and this
would spell disasters for workers’ well-beings and private lives. 1. Reason 2. Explanation 3. Example 4. Result 5. Contrast

There are several reasons as to why a large number of first time criminals tried to break the
law again. The most likely explanation is the lack of rehabilitation while in prison. In
other words, these criminals have yet to receive a good education and training in
terms of moral behavior and skills; instead, they mix with other inmates, especially
hardened ones in order to commit crimes again once they are released. In
addition, the tendency to reoffend can be attributable to difficulty in finding
employment after leaving prison. This is mainly because they might FACE
discrimination and unfair treatment due to their criminal records. As a consequence,
they become unemployed and resort to committing crimes again. Solutions

There are several reasons as to why people are becoming obese. The primary reason for this
is that people TEND to follow an unhealthy diet. DUE TO hectic pace of life, they do not have
enough time to prepare themselves a balanced, wholesome meal. Instead, they resort to
choosing fastfood or convenience meals which normally contain high level of fat and sugar.
Therefore, consuming these types of food frequently can make them gain weight. In addition,
increase in body weight can be caused by a sedentary lifestyle. More and more people are
becoming addicted to new technology and spend most of their free time surfing the net, playing
computer games rather than doing physical exercise or playing sports. Thus, the lack of
physical activity can lead to an increasing level of body fat.
