Sample Response
It is commonly believed that preserving the natural environmentpreservation of natural resources is imperative, yet most people seem to makeexert no effort in doing so. Understanding the causes of this negligent attitude may help devisehelp with devising some simple measures to safeguard the deteriorating environment.
Lack of awareness is probably the foremost reason why the vast majority of individuals appearappears to be unawareunmindful of the current environmental issues. Normally, people have a tendencypeople have tendency to downplay abstract problems, or those that are likely to happenthose that likely to happen in the distant future. This is because they are not properly informed aboutof the possible detrimental effects of taking the environment for granted. To illustrate, residents in urban areas often deliberately dump their wastewastes into nearby creeksthe nearby creeks and drainage canals, causingcanals causing them to become clogged. It is only when devastating floods strike thatfloods strike, that they come to realize the consequences of their actions.
Some basic solutions that could be carried out are extensive awareness campaign through all forms of communication and strict implementation of waste management. In addition to the traditional press, social media is a powerful means of disseminating information regarding the impending disasters and their potential hazards. This is a good way of persuading the public to actively take part in the campaign. Another straightforward solution, and by far the least anyone can do to help save the nature is disposing of garbage thoughtfully. Apart from not throwing trash indiscriminatelyavoiding throwing trash anywhere, everyone should properly separate biodegradable, non-biodegradable, and recyclable wastepractice proper segregation of biodegradable, non-biodegradable, and recyclable wastes at all times. These actions, when coordinated by the local governments, can be highly effectivetremendously successful.
In conclusion, while individual awareness is key to maintaining a healthy ecosystem, concerted efforts byof governments and their citizens are much more effective in achieving thissuch goal.
Why this response received Band 7.5
The response is strongest in its clear structure and practical development of awareness and waste-management measures, with a relevant cause illustrated effectively. Its main limitation is that the reasons for public inaction are narrowed largely to lack of awareness, while several grammatical and collocational slips reduce polish. Develop one additional cause and proofread article use, agreement, and noun forms to make the argument more comprehensive and precise.
