Damage to the environment is an inevitable consequence of worldwide improvements in the standard of living. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

#damage #environment #consequence #improvements
Nowadays, there is an increasing number of
improvements
 both in urban and rural areas.
However
, the
improvements
 in the standard of living bring inevitable damage to the environment. In fact, I firmly agree that these
improvements
 caused negative effects on the environment for two reasons. The main reason why development has an inevitable consequence is destroying
animals
'
habitats
. In
this
 modern era, many people cut down trees in order to develop urban life. They turn many forests into residential areas.
However
,
this
 attitude affects the ecosystem. Many
animals
 will lose their
habitats
 and food sources.
For instance
, many tigers will go to residential areas to get food because they already lost their
habitats
, and they are starving
due to
 deforestation. The residents will think that these
animals
 attack them.
This
 situation will put
animals
 in danger situation as they can
also
 be killed by the residents.
As a result
, many
animals
 will die. The following reason is pollution. The increasing number of transportation makes the pollution increase drastically.
Moreover
, transportation
also
 causes noise pollution as much congestion on the road.
This
 improvement can cause health problems for citizens
such
 as respiratory issues and stress. For illustration, the increasing number of private vehicles caused stress to many workers as they spend too much time commuting. By having the same bad situation every day, citizens can not give their best performance both at work and in society.
Consequently
, citizens can not improve their skills.
To sum up
,
improvements
 cause some problems in society
such
 as destroying
animals
'
habitats
 and health issues for residents.
Thus
, I am strongly convinced that development has an inevitable effect on society.

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
