Nowadays, it is increasingly common for people to buy new things frequently. Unfortunately, this also encourages them to throw away old but usable things. This trend has a negative effect on the environment.

It is true that we tend to throw away our broken or useless things in these days, rather than reusing or recycling them. There are various reasons why
this
is the case and
this
trend has several negative consequences in the world. There are three main reasons for
this
trend.
Firstly
, advances in technology enable companies to produce a large number of goods faster than ever, and costumers can buy items with
low
Suggestion
lower
prices than before. Samsung company,
for example
, produces thousands of television every day and all individuals can buy
this
commodity with reasonable prices if their old one is not working any more.
Secondly
, advertisements promote consumerism culture and encourage us to buy the latest new objects rather than repairing the old possessions.
Finally
, people are too busy with their jobs and making a living, and they do not have enough time to mend their old or broken things. The most important consequence of
this
attitude is that raw materials
such
as trees, metals and fossil fuels are running out in order to produce new objects.
Furthermore
, we produce more waste than ever with throwing away damaged items and even plastic garbage doesn't break down easily and add to litter problem.
Finally
, increasing number of companies, which are producing large quantities of goods, release huge amount of gasses
such
as carbon monoxide that cause global temperature to rise. In conclusion, several factors have caused
this
behaviour, and
this
trend has negative impacts on our lives.

Include an introduction and conclusion

A conclusion is essential for IELTS writing task 2. It is more important than most people realise. You will be penalised for missing a conclusion in your IELTS essay.

The easiest paragraph to write in an essay is the conclusion paragraph. This is because the paragraph mostly contains information that has already been presented in the essay – it is just the repetition of some information written in the introduction paragraph and supporting paragraphs.

The conclusion paragraph only has 3 sentences:

  • Summary
  • Restatement of thesis
  • Prediction or recommendation

Example:

To summarize, a robotic teacher does not have the necessary disciple to properly give instructions to students and actually works to retard the ability of a student to comprehend new lessons. Therefore, it is clear that the idea of running a classroom completely by a machine cannot be supported. After thorough analysis on this subject, it is predicted that the adverse effects of the debate over technology-driven teaching will always be greater than the positive effects, and because of this, classroom teachers will never be substituted for technology.

Start your conclusion with a linking phrase. Here are some examples:

  • In conclusion
  • To conclude
  • To summarize
  • Finally
  • In a nutshell
  • In general
