The government should reduce the amount of money spent on local environmental problems and instead increase funding into urgent and more threatening issues such as global warming. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

#government #amount #money
It is often argued if the
government
 should spend more money on critical issues like global farming and cut down on local environmental problems.
Although
 I agree that increasing funding into global warming is important, I think that solving local environmental problems could be beneficial. On the one hand, the
government
 should definitely allocate a bigger part of its budget to global warming.
This

Therefore
, the economic and human cost caused by global warming is immeasurable. With proper financing, climate change could be slowed down significantly.
For example

electricity, which

accordingly
 emits an enormous amount of CO2 could be produced entirely by renewable resources with more funding in research. That’s why the
government
 should adequately spend on climate warming in the
first
 place.
On the other hand
, local environmental problems should
also
 be well funded.

Thus

 should wisely distribute its budget between solving threatening environmental problems and local problems to slow down and recover from global warming.

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
