SAMPLE ESSAY

Every country in the world has problems with pollution and damage to the environment. Do you think these problems can be solved?

Pollution and damage to the environment are worldwide issues that are very difficult to solve. There are many reasons why. 

For example, if we take a look at transport we will see that it mainly relies on very polluting fossil fuels.   The ideal solution would be to replace it by less polluting energies such as electricity, but this process takes time and in the meantime we cannot ask countries to stop using fossil fuel because their economies would collapse. 

Something similar happens with rivers and the seas. They are being contaminated by industries that discharge chemicals and plastics. But is it possible to stop industries from producing chemicals and plastics?

I would say that it is possible to slowly reduce the amounts of pollutants released to the environment, but not to completely eliminate them until there aren't new technologies that allow us to replace them by less polluting products. 

Therefore, in my opinion, if governments and industries do not get more involved, it is only possible to solve these problems in the long run by implementing new technologies that can reduce pollution and their harmful effects.
