For Example
This metho d is effective as forests are
regenerated quickly as tea k trees are planted. Teak
trees take 5 years to mature, as compared to 25
years for other species . Therefore, it has helped to
restore 90 000km2 of fo rests in the year 2000.

14. Introduction
• The purpose of the “Introduction” is to
create the setting for your essay, as with all of
your EL Compos.
• You would like to introduce the:
• Reason why these management
strategies are needed
• Give background information about the
scenario
Thursday, April 26, 12
15. • Reason why these management strategies are needed
• Give background information about the scenario
Forests are very important resources as they regulate
the Earth’s temperature and water cycle. They also
provide us with valuable resources like timber.
Therefore it is very important to manage our forests
carefully.

16. • Reason why these management strategies are needed
• Give background information about the scenario
Forests have been exploited by Man for food and
resources in the past. However, this exploitation is now
taking place at such alarming rates we are losing our
forests. Therefore, it is important that we manage our
forests carefully. In this essay, I will be discussing 3 such
management strategies.
Making the link to my content
in the following paragraphs.

essay. This is also one of the factors that will “build an
impression” on your marker.

18. • Summary of methods
• Giving judgement statement / Comparison
• Establishing new insight
In conclusion, there are several ways to manage our
forests. They are reforestation, controlled logging and
conservation.
easy peasy, yea?
Thursday, April 26, 12
19. • Summary of methods
• Giving judgement statement / Comparison
• Establishing new insight Judgement statement
In conclusion, I feel that reforestation is the best
method out of the 3 mentioned in the essay.
This is because reforestation is a good balance between
allowing logging to take place as well as ensuring that
trees are being restored as a sustainable way to manage
our forests.
Explaining my judgement briefly.
kinda like SS?
Thursday, April 26, 12
still manageable lah!
20. • Summary of methods
• Giving judgement statement / Comparison
New insight;
• Establishing new insight something out of the
norm
In conclusion, I feel that there is no single best method
to manage forests as each of the methods have their
own pros and cons. Different methods can be more
effective in different places, so it is important to
analyse the situation in a particular place before using a
specific method. Sometimes, a combination of methods
could be used to maximize their benefits.
