    Here is a possible response: While preservation of natural areas is important, restricting access can negatively impact local communities. A better approach is promoting sustainable tourism that benefits both the environment and economy. Higher fees may discourage some visitors, but could also generate funds for conservation if used wisely. Before passing new laws, officials should consider alternatives like limiting group sizes, educating tourists on protecting fragile ecosystems, or designating protected zones off-limits to all. Local citizens deserve a voice, as tourism is often vital to their livelihoods. Overall, open dialogue and balanced solutions respecting all perspectives would be ideal. Restricting access should only be an last resort if other measures fail to safeguard the environment while supporting sustainable development.

    HOW TO WRITE BODY PARAGRAPHS
    HOW TO WRITE A CONCLUDING PARAGRAPH
    • Include a topic sentence: Restating the thesis from your introductory
    paragraph in the first sentence of your conclusion is an effective way
    to remind the reader of the main argument.

    • Summarize the main ideas: Effective conclusions will restate the


    most relevant information to sum up the main point of the paper.

    • Include a closing sentence: This is often expressed as a


    PREDICTION, QUESTION or PIECE OF ADVICE.

    • DO NOT INCLUDE NEW INFORMATION HERE.


    Disagreement Over Higher Prices
    City officials have passed a law that requires a higher price for fees in touristic
    places. They believe that the extra cost will encourage people to avoid visiting
    those places, and they would be preserved as a result. Local citizens believe
    that this will hurt their businesses that involve tourism, and many citizens feel
    that the extra cost is unfair.
    Essay:
    Some people believe that governments should promote the preservation of
    natural places and species. Others believe that people should be free to visit
    the places they want because they live in that country or area. What do you
    think? Explain your opinion, giving specific reasons to support your view.
