Hi, Simon
It is really a fantastic essay. It is a simply great. I have one question like You have just written only one sentence in conclusion, that is
excellent without doubt, but do we need to tell something about first part of question like some of the ways in which we are damaging
the environment? or it is alright to mention only about solutions from government and individuals in conclusion?
please do not mind, I am just asking not assesing your work.
Thanking you,
Jay
I´m glad you like the essay. Don´t worry - your question is really useful.
You are right that it would be a good idea to mention the problems in the conclusion as well as the solutions. However, this wouldn´t
change your score. The conclusion is much less important than the main body paragraphs. If you´re in a hurry at the end of the exam, a
one-sentence conclusion will be fine.

Just thought i would let you know how i went in my IELTS exam.
Got my results on 16th August. I got L8,R9,W8 S7.5.
I am happy overall, but disappointed with speaking. My examiner was very unfriendly. She did not smile even once during the exam. I
had feeling that i was talking to the brick wall. Very unpleasant experince indeed.

A little background + In this essay, I would like to analyze the reasons for this problem and propose some possible solutions.
I am not sure if I can use the " I would like to " structure in this IELTS writing.
Thanks
Yes, it's fine. Personally, I'd just write "I will" (I'd probably use "I would like to" at the start of a spoken presentation) but it's not wrong.
All the best
You can mention global warming, but you don't have to. The question just says "explain some of the ways..." so you can choose which
problems to discuss.

We call this a "problem / solution" question. You have to explain the problem (damaging the environment) and suggest solutions (what
can governments and individuals do?).
People are harming the environment in many ways because lack of awareness or negligence. As a result many negative consequences
like global warming, landslide are happening. In such worsening condition the government and individual must take action to solve the
problem.
The main reason of the environmental pollution is increasing trend of transportation and industries. The smokes from the vehicles are
the main reason of the environmental pollution in major cities like Kathmandu. These old vehicles emit harmful chemicals and gases
like nitrogen oxide and carbon monoxide, which are harmful to living beings and also destroys the earth protecting ozone layer. In
addition the chemicals are being highly used in the industries; as a result those harmful chemicals are left into the rivers and land,
which is being the major cause of water pollution in Kathmandu. And the usage of plastics and plastic products cannot be neglected.
The government must organize awareness programs for public. People must be aware of the causes of environmental pollution; so they
could avoid mistakes in the future. In addition, the government should take action immediately to stop deforestation by strict law and
monitoring. Furthermore, sewage management is the biggest problem in Kathmandu Valley, it should be well organized. Moreover, law
in the sector of industry and transportation should be implemented strictly.
On the other hand, individuals should take responsibility to save own community. Firstly they need to keep their own society neat and
clean. In addition waste management should be considered seriously. Secondly they need to think of alternative natural resources
rather than using chemicals like bio gas, solar energy.
To sum up, pollution in environment is increasing day by day in most of the part of the world. So, governments and public should join
hands together to solve the problem.
The main reason causing environmental problems is the traffic. Numerous cars running on roads generate tons of carbon dioxide which
is a major component of the greenhouse gas. The emission of carbon dioxide along with other incomplete burning gases from the

exhaust tube can prohibit the earth’s heat losing. As a result, the inevitable temperature increase will lead to the world climate change.

I have a question regarding the fourth paragraph of this essay. In the second sentence , you used "they" to address "individual people",
while in the last sentence, "we" was used instead.
Does it mean that in this kind of essay, "we" and "they" can be used interchangeably?
Thank you in advance, I'm using your website on a daily basis to prepare my IELTS exam, it is really really helpful.

Yishu
