It is true to say that more young adults tend to pursue their studies and work in urban areas.
While
 there are several reasons why they prefer to live in the cities, I believe the benefits are far beyond setbacks. On the one hand, there are several factors why young people chose to live in more developed countries.
Firstly
, it is obvious to say that opportunity in the city far outweighs in the rural places.
For example

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
