Band 7.5

These days, more and more people move away from the area where they were born and brought up when they become adults. Do the advantages of this development outweigh the disadvantages?

#people #move #area #adults #development
Recently, in many places around the world, the number of individuals who are raised away from their birth countries is increasing.
While
this
 can offer an advantage, in my opinion, the number of drawbacks is worth more considering. The only benefit of growing away from the original place where a
person
 was born is to live in a better place. There is no doubt that most responsible parents prefer to raise their children in stable cities where they can easily find jobs to support their families.
For instance
, immigration to countries like Canada and Australia become the main goal and dream for several
people
.
Therefore
,
such
 persons would sacrifice living away from their roots and choose newer places.
On the contrary
, there are a number of disadvantages that can result from bringing up to towns where
people
 were born.
To begin
 with, a
person
 can develop a feeling of tenderness to his original place or what is been called scientifically "homesickness". When a
person
 revisits these spots, they simply reactivate some memories that have been forgotten a long time back.
Consequently
, the brain will start to remember some events and feelings that relate to it and develop the feeling of unsatblitiy in the new country where a
person
 lives. Another demerit for returning to hometowns after long years of immigration could possibly be not finding friends and family members easily.
This
 is a general problem that faces most immigrants who think that they will travel for a certain period and
then
 return to their cities after achieving certain goals.
For example
, Sudanese and Egyptian
people
 who came to the Middle Eastern countries during the
last
 30 years are still living there with their grandchildren.
To conclude
,
while
 personal growth can be considered an advantage of leaving your birth country,
however
, returning back will give you homesickness and not finding your original
people
.

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.

  • for example
  • for instance
  • to illustrate this
  • to give a clear example
  • such as
  • namely
  • to illustrate
