Nowadays, vast

. A set of
people
 believe that travelling
such
 long
distances
 have destructive consequences on
individuals
. Others,
however
, contradict and believe in no
such
 negatives associated with commuting huge
distances
.
This
 essay will discuss both sides followed by a logical opinion. On one side, covering longer
distances
 on daily basis to earn a livelihood or for educational purposes makes
people
 exhausted.
This
 is because travelling longer
distances
 involves traffic jams, crowds in public transport which consume the physical as well as mental strength of a commuter.
Consequently
, the productivity at
work
 and the concentration in
studies
, both are hampered by
such
 travels.
For instance
, Delhi University students residing in the southern part of Delhi often become exhausted by devoting 3 hours of one side travel that includes buses, metro, and autorickshaws which impacts their
studies
 negatively and leave them exhausted by the end of the day.
Therefore
, longer
distances
 commute for
work
 and
studies
 are certainly destructive for
people
 as it makes
people
 tired.
On the other hand
, other sets of
individuals
 argue that no
such
 consequences exist because long-distance travel may inculcate punctuality in
individuals
. It means

 the
people
 who travel every day to far locations to earn money or to gain education may learn an essential skill which is
time
 management as they have to manage each and everything including the daily struggle to commute to their destinations.
As a result
,
such
 skills may evolve them for their subsequent life.
For instance
, Cab drivers cover
such
 long
distances
 on daily basis to earn money which develops their
time
 management skills.
However
,
such
 a skill is worthless if it leaves you tired and affects your performance at
studies
 and at
work
 in the present
time
. In conclusion,
although
 commuting long
distances
 to
work
 or study may develop
time
 management in
people
,
however
, a tired brain and body certainly become unproductive by long travels as it becomes exhausted.

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
