In many countries around the world, rural people are moving to cities, so the population in the countryside is decreasing. Do you think this is a positive or negative development?

 in the countryside decreased rapidly. From my personal standpoint, it is a positive development
due to
 the issues outside the
cities
. First of all, it is worth considering the reason for residents moving from the villages to the city. These days,
cities
 are developing rapidly. New modern buildings are appearing and the are

Therefore
, it is more absorbing for rural
people
due to
 the new apartments, chances and new environments. For humans, it is much more comfortable to live in
cities
. There are a
lot
 of restaurants and stores.
Also
, children can study at school and get a higher education in universities. There are a
lot
 of chances for visitors and tourists, a
lot
 of interesting places to visit. Another factor to consider is the lack of space. Actually, the states are working on it.
However
, the places of residence are highly expensive and not every person can afford them.
Also
, living in the countryside is quite problematic. The main problem is salaried; humans living there have indecent salaries.
While
 governments are thinking about new buildings and businesses, villagers do have not enough water.
Nevertheless
, not every child can study in a school because there

 not enough space and schools at all.
Hence

this
 is exactly what I think the government should pay attention to. In conclusion,weighing up both sides of the argument, rural
people
 are moving to the
cities
 with the hope of a successful life, but unfortunately, for some
people
, it is difficult to find good contact with citizens.

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
