Hence
, several people argue that the
government
 should support more funding toward railway structures than roads to increase more space for both users and
goods
 to be transported to far places. In
this
 essay, I will discuss both views and my opinion in
this
 case. Nowadays, transportation has become a daily part of people's lives. Vehicles
such
 as cars can hold a limited number of
passengers
 and enable users to travel a short distance.
On the other hand

trains

 helps companies that require transporting huge numbers of
goods
 and packages to far places. Even though using a car can be more convenient for individual use,
trains
 can be more effective and efficient for transporting long distances and helping many industries distribute their products.
Therefore

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
