It is true that aeroplanes give off a number of exhaustive fumes and
also
 consume natural fuel more than we thought.
While
 many people argue that air excursions should be restricted to prevent pollution, I believe that governments should consider their advantages. There are two main reasons why going abroad by airway is an apparent demerit. First of all, aeroplanes nowadays are becoming increasingly prevalent

As a result

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
