Band 7

In many countries women no longer feel the need to get married. Some people believe that this is because women are able to earn their own income and therefore do not require the financial security that marriage can bring.To what extent do you agree?

#countries #women #people #income #security #marriage
Financial security is something that every individual craves. The ability to decide their fate.
This
 is the case for both men and
women
.
However
, some people believe
this
 is a selfish notion on the part of
women
, whilst others believe that it is only right for them to feel
this
 way. I agree, with the notion of
women
 choosing not to marry and will substantiate my reasons in the course of
this
 essay. For starters,
women
 choose not to marry for the sake of their careers. They feel that if they do, they will be pegged back, not only by personal commitments but
also
 by colleagues at work and managers who will at the time prevent them from promotions as the belief is that the
women
 will eventually leave to take care of the children. The financial security that
women
 obtain from working, allows them to live their life on their terms, and the fact of the matter is why shouldn't they.
For example
, my friend in Bangalore who is 36 years old, is currently being bombarded by her friends, parents, and relatives to get married, because she is past the age where she will be able to get good options for husbands.
On the other hand
, she works as a manager of a start-up company and is doing very well for herself. Alternately, the problem of
women
 not choosing to get married, means there is skewness in the ratio of men as compared to
women
 who wish to get married.
This
 will result in many men moving to other locations to get married, or resulting in them
also
 not tying the knot.
Furthermore
, the more
women
 choose not to marry, it will cause a dent in the birth rates of a city, and slowly the reduction in the population. Once
this
 happens, many sectors will have to rely on migrant workers for fulfilling the job market requirements. In conclusion, no man can live as an island, and
therefore
 the requirement for human companionship is inevitable. The right of a woman to be unmarried is their fundamental right,
however
, I feel
this
 is a decision that they need to think about, because later in life they will not have anyone to take care of them.

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
