In many countries, a few people earn very high salaries. Some people think that this is a positive thing for the country. Other people believe that governments should not allow salaries to be over a certain level. Discuss both opinions and give your own opinion.

Each of us has our own dreams and we need a considerable amount of
money
 to fulfil them. To make it happen, people indeed need a higher salary to make it true. People earning more

 translates that the Gross Domestic Product,

 known as GDP, of that
country
 is increasing.
This
 is good for the growth of an individual and

 for the
country
 as the higher the GDP, the better the lifestyle and quality of life in that

.

However
, there is a parallel debate that the Government should introduce the restriction on the wages of professionals as everyone should have an opportunity to get equal
money
 to run their household expenses. I believe that
this
 is somewhat true in the sense.
For example

 person of the family is not getting better remuneration, that person will start comparing himself or herself with the others and it will make disturbance within the family. The emoluments and perks that

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
