The best way to travel is traveling in a group led by a tour guide. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this statement?

Some people believe that

conviction and will support my argument in the essay below.

For example
, in Ha Long, there is Sunworld, Ha Lan Bay, night market, etc. In short, our job is just to enjoy the trip with our family and friends.
On the other hand
, if we

, we will be limited in destination time and many other things. Before, I went on a trip with a

with my class. On the way to the next destination, we encountered many beautiful sceneries but we couldn’t stop because it would affect the route. Even the food at the meal will not be personally selected but will have a pre-made menu. There are

also
many swing trips that are just for finding new inspiration by changing the living environment for a few days, so there is no need to go with a group or have a

. In conclusion, I completely disagree with the opinion that the best way to
travel
is to
travel
in a group and have a
tour
guide
with you. Don't get me wrong, it's not that it's bad, but there are plenty of other options.

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
