Both the poor and the rich find the accessibility into university difficult. Do you agree or disagree?

#accessibility #university
In
this
 day and age where the value of money is consistently increasing, I believe that the poor find it harder to access into
university
education
. Not only do they have to worry about the matriculation fees but
also
 on other necessary expenses entailed in finishing a degree.
In contrast
, the rich people can easily access
university
education
 as they have the financial capacity. Some people believe that there is no
such
 thing as free
education
. Even if some public universities offer free tuition fees, there are still impending costs throughout the entire period of finishing a degree.
This
 is the common dilemma of the low-income parents when it comes to building a future for their children. It is expected that there will be never ending requirements once you started schooling – from buying books and notebooks to photocopying lectures and printing school reports. Not only that, if the student lives far from his school, he may need to acquire accommodation around the
university
 area. Daily subsistence should
also
 be considered in estimating costs. It is in
this
 context where poor people develop
second
 thoughts in enrolling their children in a
university
. Poor students who really wanted to advance their
education
 are forced to find a job that would finance their school fees. These students find it challenging for them to study and work at the same time.
Instead
 of only focusing on learning and finishing requirements, they
also
 carry the burden of sustaining themselves.
On the other hand
, people with better economic status find it easier to get into
university
. They even have the privilege to choose whatever field of study to pursue. Since they have the financial capacity, they can
also
 choose which
university
 caters to their needs and wants. The only problem that they might encounter during the course of their study is the difficulty of understanding the concepts.
However
,
this
 may only apply to rich students who are eager to achieve awards and high grades.
Thus
, I do not agree that both poor and rich find it difficult to access into
university
. Given the socioeconomic constraints that the poor people have, it can be deduced that accessing
university
education
 is definitely harder for them.

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
