Parks Vs Residential # Essays For IELTS

You should spend 40 minutes on this task.

Although many people value public parks, but some believe that this space could rather be used for residential areas or develop business to boost economies. 

To what extent do you agree or disagree?

The population all around the world is increasing with a rate faster than the earth can handle. With this increasing population, some people believe that to meet the requirements, public parks must be converted to business or residential areas. However, in my opinion, parks are very important for the emotional stability of individuals and must not be closed.

The importance of parks cannot be understated. Firstly, parks help in community revitalization. Considering the stressed lives people live in, parks provide the perfect environment for people to meet and release stress. Secondly, they provide holistic environment to children. Most children don’t learn things in the closed walls of classroom and need to interact with their peer or play with them. Thirdly, parks promote public health. Many people don’t have time to go to gym, parks help them giving the right environment for jogging or cycling.

However, some people believe that the world requires more of money and space to live in. Although the urgency cannot be denied, but if the space of parks is allocated, it could lead to unhealthy environment for kids as they would be deprived of place to play and enjoy. Even more, it could lead to unsafe localities as park surrounding the locality, marks its boundary, allowing security guards to ensure the security.

Overall, it cannot be denied that we are in urgent need of space and importantly money for the over populated world, but I believe destroying parks might not be the right option.
