 essay will shed light on these causes along with some steps that can be taken by authorities as well as on a personal
level
, to mitigate the effects of
this
 pressing issue. New companies and industries are establishing themselves day by day.
As a result
, a large part of the forests has been converted into a concrete jungle. In
this
 way, if we do not deforestation continuously without planting new trees, it will definitely affect the natural balance by reducing the concentration of oxygen.
Moreover

use

Support ideas with relevant, specific examples

Examples make your writing easier to understand by illustrating points more effectively.

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.

  • for example
  • for instance
  • to illustrate this
  • to give a clear example
  • such as
