#governments #money #transportation #kinds #cars
To begin
 with, it is better for governments to spend money developing public
transportation
 rather developing new kinds of cars.
This
 is my opinion.
First
, air pollution. In Malaysia, one household possesses more than one vehicle. If the majority of the citizens use public
transportation
, we can save our air significantly. Definitely less emission of carbon dioxide and plumbed into the environment,
hence
 we can inhale cleaner air,
subsequently
, the occurrence of asthma and allergic rhinitis cases will be reduced.
Further
, certain public vehicles
such
 as electrical commuters use green technology.
Second
, geographical factor. Not all places can be accessed by using cars.
For example
 , citizens living on an island, of course, need an aeroplane or ferry to get to the mainland. See our neighbour country Indonesia. Their country composes of multiple islands namely, Java, Sumatera, Kalimantan, Sulawesi and many more islands. Building up bridges connecting those islands are very costly and not economical compared with developing good public
transportation
.
Third
, job opportunities. The public
transportation
 sector has opened doors for many workers. Ranging from the labours up to the engineers.
This
 win-win situation is a good example of the connection between government and citizens. Public
transportation
 can
also
 be part of a tourism attraction. Have you ever heard about see sighting experience using a train?
This
 in return can boost up the country's economy. Forth is, the safety factor. Percentage of accidents involving cars and motorcycles are higher in contrary to public transport.
This
 data is supported by the Malaysian
Transportation
 Ministry. To conclude, the government should spend more on upgrading and improvising the public
transportation
 system because it is crucial and safe.

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
