Some people think that it is difficult for poor people or people from rural areas to go to university. So that the universities should make it especially easy for them. To what extent do you agree or disagree.

Some people call for easier access to universities for
students
with a humble background. While it may give more chances for certain kinds of pupils, I personally reckon that
this
policy
will have serious negative impacts on both society and individuals.
First
of all, special treatments for disadvantaged
students
in college admission can undermine social justice since it is hard to give a clear demarcation of family status and the extent of reduction in requirements.

Furthermore
, for the individuals’ sake, the simpler entrance to tertiary education will restrict personal development, in terms of knowledge acquisition and self-confidence. The

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
