Example Question
-Topic: Environment
π’Question: Some people believe that protecting the environment is the governmentβs responsibility, while others think individuals should take action. Discuss both views and give your opinion.
π’Sample Response
-Introduction
The issue of environmental protection is a global concern, with some arguing it is primarily the governmentmillions of dollars in grants and scholarships, while others believe individuals should take more responsibility. This essay will discuss both perspectives and provide my opinion.
-Body Paragraph 1: Governmentβs Responsibility
Those who believe the government should lead environmental efforts argue that authorities have the resources and authority to enforce regulations. For instance, governments can impose stricter laws on industrial emissions, invest in renewable energy, and fund conservation projects. These large-scale actions are often beyond the capacity of individuals, making government intervention essential for significant impact.
-Body Paragraph 2: Individual Responsibility
On the other hand, proponents of individual action emphasize that collective small efforts can create substantial change. Simple actions like reducing waste, recycling, and using public transport can collectively lower carbon footprints. Moreover, individuals can influence policy by supporting eco-friendly businesses and advocating for change, amplifying their impact.
-Conclusion and Opinion
In my view, both government and individual actions are crucial. While governments can implement systemic changes, individual efforts foster a culture of sustainability. A combined approach, where policies support and encourage personal responsibility, is the most effective way to protect the environment.
π΄Tips for Your Essay
Use clear structure: Introduction, 2-3 body paragraphs, Conclusion.
Include specific examples to support your points.
