Advantages and disadvantages of travelling with a group.

#group
Nowadays, an increasing number of
people
 travel with a
group
instead
 of alone.
This
 essay will highlight both the benefits and drawbacks that result from
such
 an approach.
First
 off, there are some advantages to being in a
group
 for travellers. The most important one is the security issues.
People
 have more security on
group
 travel because if all goes well or a problem arises, you will always be surrounded by
people
.
On the other hand
, since there is an organization of groups,
people
 do not have to organize anything and bother themselves.
Additionally
, if you have an accident, get a disease or lost in nature,
people
 can help you easily that's why
group
trips
 are more supportive .
However
, there are some disadvantages for travellers in a
group
. While you plan the day yourself on solo
trips
, there are programs and rules that
people
 have to follow in
group
trips
. Within these rules,
people
 are not allowed to do anything and are expected to treat each other with respect. At the same time, there will be no time for improvisation during the trip and you may need to travel with
people
 of all ages if it is within an organization during the trip. The main factor is that all participants have to adapt to all of these.
In addition
,
such
group
trips
 are often slightly more expensive. In conclusion,
people
 have various opinions regarding whether a solo trip or a
group
 is better as they both have advantages and disadvantages.

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
