. In my opinion,
this
 is a matter of debate in light of different factors before any conclusion can be drawn. On the

Firstly
,

This
 is because there is only

Thus
, the living standard will be increased as a monumental achievement.
Secondly
, in terms of economy, there is only
one
 currency for every transaction under the sun. Companies no longer have to worry about the exchange rate, which plays an important role in trading businesses.
For example
, a logistics company will heavily depend on the fluctuation of the currency.
On the other hand
, there are some disadvantages of

This

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
