Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? It is better to live in one town or city all your life than to move from one place to another. Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer.

Some people believe moving from
one
place
to another
place
to live is a good thing because it will help you adventure and help you to see different places and
also
give you different experiences in life.
However
, I do not agree with
this
opinion and think that living in a fixed
place
is better for two reasons, which I will illustrate in the following essay.
To begin
with, you can build strong friendships with your neighbours. My personal experience is a compelling illustration of
this
. A good illustration of
this
is that my family is living in a city for the
last
30 years.
As a result
, I know lots of people in our area and have a chance to make many good friends and
also
get some elder persons whos really love me and I have the opportunity to learn many things from them.
Consequently
, I feel if you live in a town or city for life-time you can know many people and you can share your sorrows with them and
also
can join in their good moments which can help you to make your life more enjoyable and easy to lead.
Secondly
, you can know your surrounding situation well which will reduce the chances of facing unwanted problems for those you are not prepared
.

his family has to move from
one
area to another area after some years interval. I found him saying about some new and unwanted problems after every shift
such
as in someplace they found there has no renowned educational institute, someplace has water supply
problem
, other has no governmental gas line, someplace has security issue and so on. These types of situations are not wanting for anyone.
On the other hand
, we are not facing new types of problems. But you can not say I live in paradise, my family face
problem
with electricity supply but it is not a new
problem
so we use solar energy to overcome
this
problem
.
This
type of known
problem
can solve easily and you can prepare yourself for it. To conclude, living in
one
town or city is better than living from
one
place
to another.
This
is because it will build a strong friendly relation with your neighbours and
also
reduce the chances of facing different unwanted situations.

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
