#population #centers #world
The growing
population
 in urban
areas
 has become a matter of concern these days. There are a plethora of reasons for
this
 phenomenon.
This
 essay will highlight the reasons
along with
 the possible solutions in the forthcoming paragraphs. To commence with, many
people
 migrate from the countryside to developed
cities
 for numerous reasons.
Firstly
, lack of infrastructure, and job opportunities.
Secondly
, inadequate education systems
such
 as few schools, colleges, and professional institutes.
Additionally
, living in the countryside does not provide an access to the amenities that a developed country can.
For instance
, a recent study depicted that the
population
 in Hyderabad has almost doubled in the
last
 five years.
People
 relocated from rural
areas
 to urban
areas
 to earn a better livelihood.
Furthermore
, the young generation leaves their houses for higher studies and job opportunities which are not available in rural
areas
due to
 the lack of technology, and education system. In small villages, the only source of income for an individual is farming. To prevent the growing
population
 in metropolitan
cities
, the government must take some preventive measures to develop rural
areas
. Authorities not only focus on the prime
cities
 to develop but
also
 rural
areas
 should be taken into the account. It will eventually help
people
 to get jobs in their native place and they do not have to migrate to the developed city.
To conclude
, providing facilities to the
people
 in rural
areas
 can help to overcome the growing
population
 in urban
areas
.
Also
, it will help to control the growing
population
 in the major
cities
.

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
