Band 7

Some people think that governments should change the way individuals live, while others believe they should choose the way themselves. Discuss these both points of view and give your opinion?

#people #governments #change #individuals #points
In most countries in the world, governments are in charge to manage the territory wherein laws and
rules
 are applied.
Nevertheless
, a part of the
population
 believes that authorities should lead
people
 tougher while others think "handcuffs" should be released to let
people
 choose their own path.
First
, we are going to see why it is important to follow the lead of the
government
 and
then
 see that individuals' thoughts are essential as well.
First
 of all, the
government
 is designed to able a whole
population
 to live together.
Hence
,
rules
 must be followed by everyone living under the system. Without simple
rules
, it could be a disaster.
For instance
, I recently saw on TV a documentary showing a world without
rules
. The result was kind of harsh to imagine. In

people
 were beating each other for basic things in life
such
 as food because of discipline lacks.
On the other hand
, the law and
rules
 could
also
 disrupt and interfere with individual projects. I mean, some
people
 who want to build something uncommon are locked in the one-way path developed by the
government
.
Hence
 it could be difficult for a person to succeed in what he wants to achieve. Perhaps, I am thinking about a friend who tried to launch his own business. Unfortunately and because of administrative issues, he couldn't go through the entire process. When I heard his story, I was strongly convinced that it was not fair at all as he deserved a chance.
Moreover
, he was doing it all by himself without asking for a mortgage or whatever. To sum up, if I had to share my thoughts, I would say that the whole
population
 is a really tough subject to manage. In my opinion,
people
 should have some extra shots to be able to succeed in their dreams considering individual commitment.
However
, the
government
 does not have to let its citizens fool stuff and it has to take care of it because
this
 is a whole
population
 matter.

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
