In today's society, some
people
 prefer to live by themselves, but some choose to stay with their family members. In my opinion, I choose to live with small
groups
 of family members; whichever choices
people
 make, varies from
person
 to
person
. First and foremost, living independently can help a
person
 strengthen their survival skills.
This
 is because living alone necessitates having good life skills
such
 as cooking, driving, planning, and financial independence, or you risk ruining your life.
For instance
, a
person
 needs a substantial amount of money to pay the rent and electricity bills.

In addition
,
people
 who live alone have more time to enjoy their "me-time," which could have a profound impact on a
person
's life as they enjoy more freedom and have more time to reflect on themselves.
Thus
, one can advance their personal development and become mentally stronger.
On the other hand
, living in large family
groups
 will be more lively. Massive family
groups
 are always good for celebrations or parties. To
further
 illustrate, one could have many
people
 celebrate their birthday parties with positive vibes and a good atmosphere, which will give a sense of
coziness

However
, it seems to have an issue when it comes to space. As more
people
 move in, the space becomes much more crowded, and some family members run out of resources.
Furthermore
, large families may have disagreements over differing viewpoints, resulting in strained family bonds. In conclusion, there are several factors why
people
 choose to either live in small family units or extended family
groups
, all of which have their own advantages and drawbacks. As long as one is comfortable with any of the living styles,
this
 is a positive trend for society.

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
