Nuclear
power
, nowadays, is used to generate electricity in many parts. Some people say that energy produced by nuclear
power
 is cheap and clean
while
, others argue that they are a potent threat to world peace. In
this
 essay, I will mention the advantages and disadvantages of
this
 approach and will
also
 explain why I feel that there are more advantages. There are several drawbacks to using nuclear
power
. The most obvious one is the
cost
 of building
power
stations
 is very high.
This
 is because the structure of these
stations
 is complex and difficult to build.
Also
, waste produced can be hazardous to humans and the environment. These wastes are radioactive and are created
as a result
 of producing energy.
Although
this
 can be dangerous, skilled workers can make sure that they are

 properly. Despite some risks, the creation of electricity using nuclear
power
 has benefits as well.
This
 process does not produce polluting gases.
Thus
,
such
 an approach will not contribute to the increasing global warming and will reduce the use of fossil fuels. Another benefit is that the
cost
 of fuel would be very low.
This
 will lower the transportation
cost
 and will, in turn, help the environment as well. Even though the
cost
 of building
stations
 is high, it can be compensated as the fuel
cost
 will be cheaper. In conclusion,
although
 some still argue against using nuclear
power
, fewer pollutants and low fuel costs are reasonable enough to answer. In my opinion, nuclear
power
stations
 should be handled properly by skilled workers and make sure that the waste does not cause harm to the environment.

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.
