1. Tim mentions that the country needs more of something. He talks about England’s huge housing shortage and says that building on a small part of green belt land is necessary to solve this problem.  

 

“England has a huge housing shortage problem, but unfortunately there simply isn’t any more land in overcrowded towns and cities to build on. … In any case, some green belt land is very unattractive, so building on it would only improve it.”  

 

1. Both Suzy and Tim mention the relationship between green belts and conservation, but with different views:

 

• Suzy says green belts provide habitats for wildlife and help clean pollution, implying they are important for conservation.

 

“Also, these spaces provide habitats for wildlife that has been forced out of our cities.” 

 

• Tim argues that green belts were not created for nature conservation and that national parks and nature reserves serve that purpose instead.  

 

“As for nature conservation, that is not why green belts were created. We have national parks and nature reserves for that!”  

 

1. Tim mentions that some areas of green belts are ugly. He says some green belt land is very unattractive and that building on it would improve it.  

 

“In any case, some green belt land is very unattractive, so building on it would only improve it.”  

 

1. Both Suzy and Tim mention the effect that green belts have on pollution levels but from opposite perspectives:

 

• Suzy says trees and plants in green belts help clean city pollution from the air.  

 

“The trees and plants in these open spaces clean city pollution from the air too.”

 

• Tim argues that green belts force commuters to live far away, causing long journeys that increase traffic congestion and CO2 pollution.  

 

“Also, because of green belts, many commuters have to live beyond them and make very long and tiring journeys every day to work. This causes terrible traffic congestion and produces a lot of polluting CO2!”  

 

Personally, I agree more with Suzy because I also believe that protecting green belts preserves natural spaces, wildlife habitats, and helps improve air quality. Urban sprawl can destroy the character of towns and reduce people’s quality of life. Instead of building on green belts, cities should focus on developing unused or derelict land inside urban areas.
