#traffic #jams #individuals #roads #cities
With the development of major cities
traffic
jams
 are becoming trouble almost every city has to confront them.Overpopulation and automobiles are the biggest cause of
this
 disturbing phenomenon and bring inconvenience to citizen's life.
This
 essay will illustrate why
this
 problem persists
as well as
 potential resolutions which individuals could implement. There are numerous reasons why
this
 issue of
traffic
jams
 is growing .
Firstly
traffic
jams
 are caused by too many vehicles on the road.
People
 always give preference to private vehicles
instead
 of public transport. Individuals
use
 their cars, motorcycles or any other vehicle to go to
work
. 
This
 is the main cause of
traffic
jams
 in the morning or evening time.
This
 leads to
people
 always being late to
work
 and less productive, because they waste so many hours on the road when they should
use
 that time in their
work
 to get growth in business.
Although
, there are many solutions that individuals should take to reduce
traffic
 congestion. The most effective way is to
use
 public transport
such
 as buses,trains and the metro. If
people
 commute to their
work
 using buses or trains, there will be an obvious reduction in the number of private cars on the road. Another measure that citizens can take is carpooling.
In addition
 with the help of ,technology lots of things are online, so
people
 can pay their electric, water and other bills online.
For example
, In my ,hometown
people
 pay their bills on their own
instead
 of online due lack of knowledge.
This
 problem leads to increase
traffic
.
To conclude
, There are lots of things that regular
people
 reduce
traffic
jams
. The most important ones are to limit the
use
 of private cars and avoid unnecessary things.

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
