Some people think that it is better to build more public parks and sports facilities in new town rather shopping malls. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

It is widely believed that constructing public gardens and gyms
instead
 of shopping
centres
 should be prioritized in modern cities. I find myself among those who subscribe to the view that more parks and sports
centres
 should be set up in urban areas.
Firstly
, exercising and being exposed to green spaces could play a crucial role in our both physical and mental health. Building parks for people assists them in catching more fresh air and sunlight.
Also
, using sports facilities could boost their physical activity. It would be beneficial to the prevention of cardiovascular diseases and depression if these places were constructed in cities
instead
 of more places for shopping.
While
 they do not have any contribution to the
overall
 well-being of people.
Secondly
, commuting to the malls
while
 there are lots of online shops for those who intend to buy, would waste noticeable time.
Moreover
, it would increase traffic congestion near the shopping
centres
.
Subsequently
, transportation in the town would face multifarious difficulties,

 as running out of parking lots and

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
