Elephant White-cheeked Gibbon Write a brief plan for this response in the framework below Introduction Restate the topic, give examples, organisation sentence (thesis statement) Body paragraph Causes: Body paragraph Solutions: Conclusion Summary of main points, optional concluding comment or opinion Read the two responses that follow and then match the following descriptions to Response A, Response B, or both responses a This response has a clear thesis statement b Each paragraph in the response has a clear topic sentence c The conclusion summarises the main idea of the essay d e f g h i j This response has examples to support the writer's ideas This response has developed ideas fully This response has mostly simple vocabulary This response has used complex sentences This response has some grammatical mistakes This response has an appropriate word length Which response would gain a higher score in the IELTS Writing test? 190 Response A Extinction of species is a natural phenomenon However, the current rate of extinction is 100 to 1,000 times higher than normal, and it is estimated that half of all living species will be gone within the next two or three centuries The main reason for this high rate can be summed up in one word: people, and therefore people have to find solutions to this problem Human activity is a major cause of species extinction Often this is inadvertent, as people carry out their daily lives, destroying native habitats to create farmland, polluting rivers or soil as they manufacture goods, and competing for local food supplies with the resident animal population Sometimes, however, this destruction is more deliberate, as often happened in the past, when humans hunted various mammals and birds such as the white-cheeked gibbons to extinction, and sometimes it is the result of ignorance, as humans introduce new species into a local ecology and wipe out existing species There are two main ways that we may be able to help to preserve species The first is by protecting parts of their natural habitat through the creation of reserves For example, the reserves in National Parks are dedicated to preserving the tiger and are using tourism as one way to raise awareness and fundraise for the project The second way is through keeping animals in zoos, though it is often difficult to breed animals in captivity, and it is rare for zoo raised animals to be successfully reintroduced to their natural habitat In summary, we are responsible for species extinction and we need to work hard to prevent this (270 words) 191 Response B Many species around the world have become extinct and each year, more become endangered However, nowadays this trend is occurring more often, mainly due to the actions of people In this essay, I intend to examine about the causes and solutions to this problem The most common reason for species loss is through the actions of people For example, people destroy forests and areas where species live in order to build homes or clear land for farming purposes Big factories also ruin animals' homes by polluting rivers and lakes, which mean that these animals have no place to live Another reason is hunting and poaching of animals for their meat, fur or other products For example, leopard skins used to be popular for rugs and other animal products were used for souvenirs and decoration A solution to this problem is to make parks and reserves to protect animal's natural home areas These reserves can use tourism as a way to find money and make people to know about the problem For example, lion parks in Africa are very popular and help to protect many endangered species Also, endangered species of animals can be bomed in breeding centres to help keep the animals alive Even if they are never released to the wild, the species will still be preserved In conclusion, if these strategies are put into action, future extinction of animal species can be avoided It is the responsibility of people to put solutions into place to address the problems they have created (253 words) Underline all the vocabulary in the table below in Response A extinction manufacture awareness phenomenon compete fundraise destroy endanger breed species deliberate captivity estimate ignorance reintroduce inadvertent ecology responsible 192 resident wipe out prevent native preserve create habitat reserve hunt pollute dedicate poach Fill in the gaps in the sentences below with the words from the table You may need to change the word form Check that your completed sentences make sense a Keeping animals in _ remains a controversial phenomenon; however, supporters maintain an educational focus, which helps to educate and inform the public, thereby justifying the existence of zoos on this basis b Many breeding programmes exist in zoos and centres around the world, with the goal of building up populations of _ species to ensure they not eventually become _ and lost to future generations c A considerable number of people feel that _ is no excuse for continuing to destroy animals' natural habitat through activities such as housing development d In the past, many _ of animals were hunted and _ because their skins and fur were prized possessions which fetched considerable sums of money on international black markets Sadly, this illegal trading was often _ for the unnecessary killing of many beautiful animals e A number of international charities and organisations are _ to the protection and _ of endangered animal species, such as the World Wildlife Fund Often their campaigns aim to build global _ of current issues f Wild animals, especially rare ones, are _to be demographically stable, well maintained, and capable of self-sustaining reproduction Therefore, a cooperative international _ and conservation programme has just been designed to achieve these goals g Many natural _ of endangered animals have been _ by pollution and urban development Underline the language in both responses in Activity for causes and solutions Write useful phrases here 193 Causes Solutions Now, write sentences using some of these phrases a cause / global warming / carbon dioxide emissions b reason / unemployment / global recession c solve / global warming / legislation and individual actions d address / unemployment / stimulation of the global economy 10 Work in pairs Answer the following questions about two responses in Activity Response A a How many actions which cause species loss are listed in Paragraph 2? b What type of devices has the writer used to list these causes? c How many solutions are listed in Paragraph 3? d What type of devices has the writer used to list these solutions? Response B a What types of devices has the writer mainly used to talk about causes? b What types of devices has the writer mainly used to talk about solutions?
