While

 some consider that it is a negative development, others disagree with it. I believe that

 behaviour has more negative effects than positive ones. On the one hand, long travels make some people get new ideas, and forget the conflicts that happened in their households.
For example

For instance

On the other hand

, working or studying in larger distance is wasted effort, which is the most dangerous factor in our entire lives. As an example of myself, I felt regret about my past in misusing

task response
Estimated score: 5. You answer all parts of the task, but the ideas need more full support. The first side says long travel can give people quiet time, but this point is not very strong because the task asks about travel to work or study. Explain why some people may choose a long trip: better jobs, better schools, or more money.
task response
Give a more balanced view before your own view. In body 1, add one clear good point and a short example. In body 2, add two bad points, such as less time with family, stress, tiredness, and cost.
task response
Some examples are not clear enough. For example, “forget the conflicts” and “refreshment park” do not strongly show the good side of long daily travel. Use direct examples linked to work or study.
coherence and cohesion
Your order is clear, but some ideas do not join well. For example, the first body part moves from new ideas to family problems, then to parks and libraries. Keep one main point in each part and explain it step by step.
coherence and cohesion
Use simple link words more carefully: “For example”, “As a result”, “However”, and “This means”. Do not use a link word if the next idea does not clearly follow the last one.
coherence and cohesion
Make the topic words more exact. Write “longer distances” or “long commutes”, not “larger distance”. Write “travelling long distances to work or study”, not “working or studying in larger distance”.
coherence and cohesion
Your final line is not complete: “I would recommend that we spend wisely...” Say “I would recommend that people use their time wisely” or “I would recommend that people live closer to work or school when possible.”
task response
You discuss both sides and give your own view. Your main view is clear: long daily travel has more bad than good.
task response
You use a personal example about travel to a factory. This helps show why you think time is lost.
coherence and cohesion
The essay has a clear start, two main body parts, and an end. Words such as “On the one hand”, “On the other hand”, and “In conclusion” help the reader follow your ideas.
coherence and cohesion
Each body part has one main idea, so the essay is easy to follow in general.
