Air travel causes environmental pollution, so many people believe that there should be an increase in the price of air tickets in order to reduce air traffic. Do you agree or disagree?

With the advances in technology, various means of transportation have been developed and become increasingly accessible, including air travel.
However
, environmental pollution ensues as the emission of fumes increases, so some
people
request to increase the
price

tickets
to alleviate the pollution problem. In my opinion,
this
is a sensible solution. Many reasons can support my stance.
First

Furthermore

To begin
with, many flights are mandatory in businesses, so the number of flights would not decrease even if the

is raised, resulting in merely higher profits for airline companies.
However
, since the number of flights cannot be reduced whatsoever, we should not take it into consideration.

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
