The structure of an essay


Let’s identify the parts of an essay

• Introduction
• Body parts
• Conclusion
WHAT CAN YOUNG PEOPLE DO TO HELP PROTECT AND
IMPROVE THEIR LOCAL ENVIRONMENT?
There are many things young people can do to protect and improve their local
environment. Some of these are recycling, using cars less, and plating tress.

First of all, they can make sure that things such as plastic containers, glass bottles
and newspapers are recycled. And they can pick up any litter they find in the street
and put it into a rubbish bin.

Secondly, nowadays the air is polluted because too many people use cars, even to go
very short distances. Young people can try to use public transport or walk or cycle to
their destinations instead. By doing this, they would make their environment less
polluted and they would be able to enjoy cleaner air.

Finally, they can help to make their local environment greener by helping to look
after public parks or gardens. They can also plant trees or help people who want to
grow vegetables in their gardens.

All these actions will make their areas look cleaner and more pleasant and also help
save the world’s natural resources. We will all have a better future if young people
do everything possible to help protect and improve their environment.
