While

this

might be true, there are some issues which are more important for the environment. There are valid arguments on both sides which I will discuss below.
Firstly

would affect the diversity of flora and fauna which could no longer be seen in nature.
On the other hand

, another environmental problem that we have is the degrading condition of our earth. Air pollution, contaminated water, and soil erosion are some serious problems that have arisen these days. These problems are caused by the lack of responsibility of

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
