The government has annnounced that it plans to build a new university. Some people think that your community would be a good place to locate the university. Compare the advantages and disadvantages of establishing a new university. Use specific details in your discussion.

Recently the discussion about whether or not to have the
university
built in our
community
becomes a hot topic in our n
eighborhood.

Some people consider that

Suggestion
the university
will bring more advantages than disadvantages to our
community
and agree with the suggestion; another group has a different standpoint. They think that establishing a
university
in our
community
will generate more disadvantages to our
community
. Personally, I believe the proverb, ‘one coin, both sides’. Of course, establishing a
university
also
has advantages and disadvantages as well. There are many advantages of establishing a new
university
in our
community
.
First
,
u

Suggestion
the university
can bring prosperity to our
community
.
For example
, when the
university
is built, it will attract many students to come to study.
Therefore
, the needs of the students will increase
such
as the articles for daily use.
Then
we may consider running stores and restaurants near the
university
.
Therefore
, more job opportunities will be provided, and the local people will have the priority to get the jobs. As the result, people can work to support their family financially, at the same time they are able to take care of their families without leaving distance as c
urrent situation.

Second
, when the
university
is built, the government will take into account improving the system of transportations. They may build subway connected to the city, which will bring us more conveniences and attract more people to come f

investments. We can predict that as soon as the subway is built, our house price will be increased immediately.
Consequently
, our n

Suggestion
The second advantage
is that when the
university
is built, the government may investigate money to improve the environment around our
community
.
For example
, building a park is necessary for the student to have entertainment or relaxation when they have free time.

and accelerate the union of our families. The disadvantages of building the
university
in our
community
cannot be ignored.

This

Building a
university
is not just building a construction it
also
requires the whole equipment, the campus, the libraries, and the roads etc. What if our
next
generations if the lands are taken for building the
university
? Where shall they live?
This
is a big issue that we need to take into account. To sum up, building a
university
near our
community
has advantages and disadvantages as well.
Therefore
, before making the decision we shall consider both aspects and measure them carefully.

Support ideas with relevant, specific examples

Examples make your writing easier to understand by illustrating points more effectively.

Examples, if used properly, not only help you get higher marks for ‘Task Response’ but also for ‘Coherence’.

When giving examples it is best to put them after your main idea or topic sentence. They can be used in the middle of supporting sentences or they can be used to start a new sentence. There is no rule for where exactly to give examples in essays, logically they would come after your main idea/topic sentence or just after a supporting sentence.

Linking words for giving examples:

  • for example
  • for instance
  • to illustrate this
  • to give a clear example
  • such as
  • namely
  • to illustrate
  • take, for example
