Writing Task 2: Here's the question we had in the writing test on Thursday 15/10/09:

Present a written argument or case to an educated reader with no specialist knowledge of the following topic:

Trees are esential for the existence of the human race as they provide the oxygen that we need to survive. Yet, daily all around the globe large areas of woodland are being destroyed. Many people feel that they as individuals can do nothing and that only governments and large companies can halt the destruction.

How far do you agree or disagree with this?

Use your own ideas, knowledge and experience and support your arguments with examples and with relevant evidence.
