2. Read the Writing Strategy. Then read the task below and the model text. Decide where the second paragraph should begin: A, B or C.

The second paragraph should begin at [  ]

‘Young people are doing more to prevent global warming than older people.’ Do you agree?

I do not believe that this is true. Adults make the most important decisions about global warming, not young people. For example, governments have to decide between fossil fuels and renewable energy. [A] Furthermore, adults decide how ‘green’ their lifestyle at home should be: Do they buy a big or small car? Do they live in a big or small house? And so on. [B] Having said that, young people are often better at remembering to recycle plastic bottles and other containers. What is more, children walk and cycle more often than adults and this causes less pollution. [C] However, they probably walk and cycle more because they are too young to drive, not because they care about the environment! So all in all, I do not think young people are doing more than older people.

To decide where the second paragraph should begin, we need to look at the structure of the text and the flow of ideas. The first paragraph introduces the topic of young people's actions towards preventing global warming, while the third paragraph concludes the writer's opinion on the matter. Therefore, the second paragraph should provide examples or evidence to support the writer's argument.

In this case, the second paragraph begins at [B], where the writer presents examples of how young people contribute to preventing global warming by recycling and choosing sustainable transportation options. This paragraph contrasts the decision-making power of adults with the actions taken by young people, setting up the writer's argument that young people are not doing more than older people in preventing global warming.

A fuller and more detailed response to the question "Do you agree that young people are doing more to prevent global warming than older people?" could be:
- I do not agree that young people are doing more to prevent global warming than older people. While young people may engage in environmentally friendly activities like recycling and using sustainable transportation options, it is ultimately adults who make the most significant decisions on global warming policies and lifestyle choices. Adults have a greater influence on government decisions, energy production, and resource consumption, making their impact on global warming more substantial than that of young people. Furthermore, young people's environmentally friendly behaviors may be driven by necessity or convenience rather than genuine concern for the environment. Thus, it is inaccurate to claim that young people are doing more in the fight against global warming compared to older generations.
