The best way to travel is travel in a group led by a tour guide. To what extent do you agree or disagree

Nowadays,
people
 have their own preferences about how to
travel
. Some
people
 prefer to
travel
 alone others prefer to
travel
 in groups with

guide
. I agree that it is the greatest way to
travel
 as a
group
 with a

guide
 for several reasons.
First
, a

 will let

 know about the

 they will visit and show

 the region. Most of the
time
,
people
 travelling alone do not know the
places
 to visit and so waste a lot of
time
 trying to find something valuable to see.
In addition
,
tour
 guides know things about a certain place that are not generally mentioned in books or brochures.
Thus
, guided tours are the best way in terms of sightseeing in a short
time
.
Second
, travelling in a
group
 can ensure safety. Many parts of the world are quite dangerous to
travel
 alone. There are often
people
 with evil intention waiting to do harm to tourists.
For example
, when one of my friends once backpacked across Europe by herself, she got in trouble because a homeless person took her passport and wallet. She had to call the embassy and dealt with the situation. In the

 she was not able to finish her trip, which could have been a once in a lifetime opportunity for her to spend
such
 quality
time
 with herself. When travelling with
tour
 guides, they can protect their
group
 members from
this
 kind of dangerous situation. In conclusion,
although
 some
people
 might agree that travelling as a
group
 with a

 is not the best idea, I strongly agree with the idea that travelling in the
group

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
