Many people believe that the government should encourage industries and businesses to move from large cities to the countryside. Do you think that the advantages outweigh the disadvantages?

Nowadays, there is a contentious issue regarding whether the authorities should provide incentives for factories and other
companies
 to relocate from metropolitan
areas
 to rural sites. In my opinion, the merits outweigh the drawbacks. There are considerable benefits to locating
companies
 in regional
areas
. For businesses themselves, they can have a significant decline in costs,

, which are usually dramatically higher in the big cities. It is
also
 likely to benefit rural communities by boosting their economies and providing job opportunities in the neighbourhood and preventing the need for them to make a long commute to work in the city.

 it can benefit cities by reducing overcrowding, traffic congestion, and pollution levels.
However
, there are potential drawbacks to
companies
 and businesses moving their premises outside metropolises. The main issue is that
companies
 located in regional

 may be

 away from their employees.
This
 can make it more difficult to find the labour to work in the company. As well as
this
, the
companies
 may be located
further
 away from their customers, which might weaken their relationships with their customers. In conclusion, the merits to businesses relocating in more remote
areas
 seem to outweigh the drawbacks as it can benefit the
companies
 themselves, the local communities, and
also
 the metropolitan
areas
.
However

companies
 may face challenges to find labour and maintain close relationships with their customers. Given

 it seems that the government should offer incentives to encourage

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
