 overseas with ease. In
this
 essay, I will outline what I consider the potential advantages of
air

, and some negative outcomes that I feel are likely to occur. In terms of benefits, there are two explicit ones. The
first
 is

 management. Today more and more people can
travel
 in less

As a result

For example
, if today someone wants to
travel
 to Europe concerning limitation of
time
, one can easily fly to several countries in Europe within no
time
.
In addition
 to
this
, responding to an emergency can be considered another advantage. People living in countries with poor health care facilities are more likely to fly to another place for better treatment and facilities. There are,
however
, some possible drawbacks of
this
 accessible trend.

 releases several poisonous gases which can kill our environment day by day.
Furthermore
, by making overseas

 much more reachable there would be a significant demand for fuel, and
this
 can result in a price increase. The more we use fuel for

 the higher price we have to pay in the future. In conclusion,

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
