Now-a-days modern modes of transport are available, still some people believe a bicycle is the best way to get from one place to another. Do you agree or disagree?

Despite numerous ways of
transport
 being available in our technologically advanced society, it is still being argued that cycling is one of the most preferred ones. As the cost-of-living crisis deteriorates,
in addition
 to an increased awareness of
this
 type of
transport
 and the environmental and
health
 benefits, I agree that bicycles will remain a trend. The financial aspect of convenient
transport
 today is worrying for many of us. Using a car as the first transportation choice comes with high charges of taxes, gas, and maintenance fees, burdening the budget of a struggling family. Other ways of public
transport
,
such
 as buses and trains, are
also
 becoming more costly nowadays.
For example
, a family of four in Oslo must allocate at least 4000 Krones, equivalent to around 400 dollars monthly, for accessing public
transport
.
Instead
, suppose
this
 family invests in bicycles once. In that case, they can commute for less money than if they had used public transportation or two private cars for the parents and drove their children to different activities. Another main reason confirming the growing popularity of cycling is the
health
 advantages and environmental consequences of
this
 mode. Among the younger generations, it has been observed that they show awareness of how cars affect the planet.
Therefore
, they tend to drive less than previous generations. Being healthy and fit is
also
 another primary feature of our generation leading to a higher percentage of bicycle usage for the sake of its
health
 benefits.
This
 means they can easily combine commuting to and from work with workout sessions in one go, saving both time and money. In conclusion, at present, a higher number of people will
instead
 turn to bicycles as their main primary mode of
transport
 because there are far more benefits of using
this
 type of
transport
 in terms of economics,
health
 and environment.

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
