Some people think that living ịn big cities is bad for people's health. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

#people #ịn #cities #health
Some individuals believe that living in huge cities is harmful for citizens’
health
. In my opinion, I partly agree with
this
 view. On the one hand, staying in major metropolis may bring several disadvantages.
First,
there are plenty of gas vehicles, factories which release emissions to the city’s atmosphere. Unfortunately, When residents inhale
this
, it directly affects their lungs.
Therefore
, if residents are regularly exposed to
such
 emissions, they will easily get respiratory diseases
such
 as: asthma and emphysema.
Additionally
, tons of bills need to be paid, combined with high living costs.
As a consequence
, residents will be understress.
This
 can lead to mental
health
 issues
such
 as: anxiety disorder and depression.
On the other hand
, despite some negative impacts on
health
, living in huge downtown has some
health
 advantages.
Firstly
, high quality medical care is available in big capital and modern medical institutions which lead to better treatment for diseases.Plus, because of a huge range of sport facilities, city dwellers are able to train to improve
health
. Another aspect is there are a lot of forms of entertainment
such
 as theaters and cinema that allow people to relax after a hard-working time.
As a result
 stress will be reduced and dwellers can avoid mental well-being problems. In conclusion, in spite of the negative impacts on
health
 of staying in major metropolis. I would argue that there are some benefits of living in these areas

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
