The rise in the world's population is alarming as the current population is already crossed the estimated capacity to accommodate
people
. Some individuals claim that
further
 increases cause greater damage to the current generation. I agree that
overpopulation
 leads to a plethora of problems among which
unemployment
 and food scarcity are major issues. To commence with, the main root cause for
overpopulation
 is due government child benefits and
life
 expectancy.
First
 and foremost, in some countries, policymakers made regulations to provide child benefits for parents due to which some
people
 give birth to more babies as
this
 provides additional income to support families.
For example
, The Canadian government donates up to 500$ per month to guardians until they reach 18 years.
Besides
 government perks, the other reason is
life
 expectancy, due to advanced medical technology the
life
 span of human beings across the globe is significantly increased. As per a recent survey conducted by the World Health
Organisation

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
