IELTS Writing Task 2 question

Some people say that the main environmental problem of our time is the loss of particular species of plants and animals. Others say that there are more important environmental problems.

Discuss both these views and give your own opinion.

Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge or experience.

Student answer (Band 6.5)

Environmental issues become a widespread problem worldwide. Some people think endangered species and plants continue to lose, while others believe that other problems related to the environment are more significant. This essay will explain both perspectives before explaining my opinion.

Some particular species symbolize the culture of a certain location. For instance, the Philippine eagle is originally found and only lives inside the Philippine territory. Some poachers and hunters are not aware that catching those unique species is prohibited and illegal because it causes extinction. This will be solved by spreading awareness about animal welfare, which provides education about illegal hunting of endangered species worldwide. Additionally, we could also protect them by caring about their habitat, which serves as their breeding area where they can multiply.

On the other hand, others say that there are more crucial environmental problems like deforestation and mining, which greatly affect human lives in a harmful way. These activities are illegal which consequently leads to landslide and flash flood. The importance of trees and mountains should be maintained and prioritized by people, as it provides fresh oxygen and protects us from strong storms. Its relevance is unrequited compared with businesses who aim to destroy nature.

In my perspective, protecting our lives by caring for nature is a bare minimum. Setting aside all forms of actions just to nurture humans and nature should be the one prioritized by the government, as they are the one who is capable. Tree planting campaigns are one of the best solutions, as it provides support on saving the mother earth.

Overall, all issues related to environment are indispensable, however focusing on nature alone affects many people and animals, by spreading awareness of the law and tree planting campaigns are the first step in protecting the environment.

Task Achievement / Task Response — Band 6.5

Ang tugon ay tumutugon sa magkabilang panig ng argumento at nagbibigay ng malinaw na personal na opinyon. Gayunpaman, ang pagbuo ng mga ideya ay medyo hindi pantay. Habang ang unang body paragraph ay nagbibigay ng tiyak na halimbawa (the Philippine eagle), ang ikalawang body paragraph tungkol sa deforestation ay mas pangkalahatan. Ang konklusyon ay medyo paulit-ulit at hindi lubos na pinagsasama ang mga argumentong inilahad. Upang maabot ang mas mataas na band, dapat mong tiyakin na ang iyong personal na opinyon ay mas malalim na naisama sa mga body paragraph sa halip na nakasaad lamang sa huling bahagi. Ang mga ideya ay may kaugnayan, ngunit ang ilang mga punto, tulad ng ugnayan sa pagitan ng 'unrequited' importance at negosyo, ay medyo malabo sa pagpapahayag.

Coherence and Cohesion — Band 7.0

Ang sanaysay ay nakaayos sa mga lohikal na talata, bawat isa ay may malinaw na pangunahing paksa. Ang mga cohesive devices ay ginamit, tulad ng 'Additionally', 'On the other hand', at 'In my perspective', na nakakatulong sa paggabay sa mambabasa. Gayunpaman, ang ilang mga transisyon ay nararamdamang medyo mekanikal o bahagyang awkward, tulad ng 'Its relevance is unrequited compared with businesses'. Ang referencing ay karaniwang malinaw, bagaman ang daloy sa pagitan ng mga pangungusap ay maaaring maging mas swabe upang mapabuti ang pangkalahatang pag-usad ng mga ideya. Ang pagtalata ay angkop, at ang sanaysay ay sumusunod sa isang pamantayang istruktura na nagpapadali sa pagbabasa.

Lexical Resource — Band 6.5

Nagpapakita ka ng sapat na saklaw ng bokabularyo para sa gawain, gamit ang mga terminong tulad ng 'endangered species', 'extinction', 'deforestation', at 'indispensable'. May ilang mga pagkakataon ng maling pagpili ng salita, tulad ng 'unrequited' (na karaniwang ginagamit para sa mga emosyon) sa halip na 'underestimated' o 'overlooked', at 'nurture humans and nature' na medyo malabo. Bagaman sinusubukan mong gumamit ng hindi gaanong karaniwang bokabularyo, ang ilang mga collocation ay hindi lubos na natural. Gayunpaman, ang bokabularyo ay sapat upang malinaw na maiparating ang iyong kahulugan sa buong tugon nang hindi nagdudulot ng kalituhan sa mambabasa.

Grammatical Range and Accuracy — Band 6.5

Ang sanaysay ay gumagamit ng halo ng simple at kumplikadong mga istruktura ng pangungusap. May ilang mga pagkakamali sa gramatika, tulad ng 'Environmental issues become a widespread problem' (dapat ay 'have become'), 'plants continue to lose' (dapat ay 'are being lost'), at 'they are the one who is capable' (dapat ay 'they are the ones who are capable'). Ang bantas ay karaniwang gumagana, ngunit may mga maliliit na pagkakamali sa subject-verb agreement at paggamit ng article. Sa kabila ng mga pagkakamaling ito, nananatiling malinaw ang kahulugan, at ang mga pagkakamali sa gramatika ay hindi humahadlang sa komunikasyon. Ang pagpapataas ng pagkakaiba-iba ng mga kumplikadong istruktura habang nagpopokus sa katumpakan ay makakatulong upang mapabuti ang score na ito.
