IELTS Writing Task 2: from ideas to paragraph 
Following on from the paragraph about a recycling law in last week's 
lesson
, we need to write a 
paragraph about other measures that governments could take to encourage recycling. 
Here's my plan for a 5-sentence paragraph:
1. 
Topic sentence:
other measures, instead of a recycling law 
2. 
First idea:
educate people with a recycling campaign 
3. 
Example:
teach children in schools, inform homeowners too 
4. 
Second idea:
regulations for companies that produce packaging 
5. 
Third idea:
invest in recycling facilities to process waste better 
Here's a paragraph using the ideas above:
However, I believe that governments should do more than simply introduce a recycling law. It would 
be far more effective if politicians put education, rather than punishment, at the centre of a recycling 
campaign. For example, children could be taught about recycling in schools, and homeowners could 
be informed about the environmental impact of household waste. Another tactic that governments 
could use would be to create stricter regulations for the companies that produce the packaging for 
household products. Finally, money could also be spent to improve recycling facilities and systems, 
so that waste could be processed more effectively, regardless of whether people had separated it 
correctly in the home.
