#countries #people #history #house #research
It is true that recently the number of
people
 who are curious about the history of the
place
 they live in has been increasing. They have different reasons for doing so, and definitely, there are some places that they can find the
information
 they want. To start with, the reasons that they might have when they are going to buy or rent a
place
, they want to know whether it has been repaired anytime or not.
In other words
, they want to find out about the infrastructure of the building or house,
such
 as its electricity, pipe of water, and heating facilities. So, if it is ill-equipped
then
 they should have both time and money to repair them.
Moreover
, some individuals believe in spirits and think that if bad
people
 lived there before, there might be some evil spirits there to bother them. Regarding the places that
people
 could find
this
information
, there are some places in the neighbourhood they could find them.
First
 of all, everything that has happened to the house for construction and preservation should be recorded in local real estate agency. They submit all the
information
 about repairing or changing the equipment of the house. The
second
place
 that they could go and get help is the library, if some bad events happened that time ago, it would be published in some newspapers. So, if there is nothing there, they should change their sceptical views.
Finally
, the police station of that region
also
 may have some
information
 about the background of houses. In conclusion, investigating the history of a
place
 where residents want to live in is rising.
Although
people
 have various considerations for that in different parts of the world, they all could find the relevant
information
 of that in real estate’s documents, library archives, and the police offices in their cities.

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
