IELTS Writing Task 2

Topic: The exploration and development of safe alternatives to fossil fuels should be the most important global priority today. To what extend do you agree or disagree?



Creating safe alternatives sources of energy to replace fossil fuels is becoming a hot debate. Owing to global warming challenges, the exploration and development of safe alternative sources beside fuels such as wind, solar and hydro powers should be international encouraged.

Fossil fuels may be a plentiful and inexpensive source for facilitating people’s life because it could be used to generate electricity, transport and industry. People could experience and consume available natural resources to improve their standard of living. In Los Angeles, the private car is the most popular mode of transport. So fuels may play a significant role in societies.

On the contrary, using fossil fuels results in pollution. Vehicles emit carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. This pollution affects human health as well as global warming. The damage caused by oil leaking in the Gulf of Mexico leave negative impact on national economic and biodiversities. Therefore, the use of fossil fuels should be minimized.

In addition, exploration or development of other source energies should be taken into consideration. Wind or solar powers are a good illustration. Nations can generate electricity to supply to the entire population without ant obstacles. This case is practicable in United Kingdom and in Japan. Additionally, the Chinese government has built a dam at Mekong delta in order to manufacture electricity through water flow. This is an example of using hydro power in Asia. Hence, wind and solar powers result in positive outcome to people life.

In summary, fossil fuels utility far out weight disadvantages than advantages. Initialing various alternative sources of energies should be promoted.
