Traffic and accommodation problems are increasing and government should encourage some businesses to move from cities to rural areas. Does the advantages outweigh the disadvantages?

 
Original Essay
 
An increasing number of vehicles and buildings is overwhelming so some businesses are being encouraged to relocating their offices to somewhere less crowded. Although I tend towards the viewpoint that relocation will solve this contrerversial problem but this solution will cause some inconvenienences and disadvantages for both customers and companies.
 
On the one hand, relocation can help the urbanisation problem. The shortage of jobs along with young people's need to pursue a career, are the two main reasons of rural depopulaton. Moving businesses from crowded places to rural ones will balance workforces between cities and countrysides, which helps urban areas not being overpopulated from migration. Another benefit of relocation some businesses is traffic congestion. People will tend to use public transportation instead of their private cars for longer destination to save the traveling cost. This also prevents car accidents after a frustrated working day when people are very tired and don not suit for driving.
 
On the other hand, moving between urban areas and non-urban areas will cause some inconvenienences for people who already live in cities. Changing their workplaces also means young people probably have to change their lifestyles for young people, such as their daily routines. But people with families will have to move to rural areas to live as a family with lower living conditions, which is not easily to give up. Moreover, some businesses like service companies will have some troubles while moving from cities because most of their potential are in big cities. People in urban areas need more service compared to rural ones such as healh care, restaurants, technologies, furnitures.
 
In conclusion, it seems to me that the disadavantges of moving businesses between cities and rural areas will outweight the advatages it brings due to previous reasons.

An increasing number of vehicles and buildings is overwhelming so some businesses are being encouraged to relocating relocate their offices to somewhere less crowded areas. Although I tend towards to the viewpoint that relocation will solve this contrerversial problem but ( a comma ) this solution will cause some inconvenienences and disadvantages for both customers and companies.

 

  • Encouraged to is to followed relocate, not relocating.

  • Controversial is too generic. You need to find another word. I suggest using ‘serious”

  • You need to put a comma after the dependent clause (see: Although I tend …, this)

  • Inconvenienences and disadvantages sound too close. Not only this, both are too vague when they are put in the thesis statement.

  • Your second sentence should be clear as to help readers understand what points will be discussed in the following paragraphs. Let me give you an example:

    Although relocation will solve this serious problem, the viable solution cannot undermine some disadvantages such as a different lifestyle, low standard of living, and poor public facilities.


 

On the one hand, relocation can help tackle the urbanisation problem. The shortage of jobs along with young people's need to pursue a career, are the two main reasons of rural depopulaton The shortage of jobs for young people is the main reason of rural depopulation. Moving businesses from crowded places city centres to rural ones outskirts will balance workforces between cities and countrysides those different places, which (stop here). By doing so, helps overpopulated urban areas not being overpopulated from as a result of massive human expansion can be reduced. Another benefit of relocation some businesses companies is to relieve traffic congestion. People will tend If this initiative works well, the majority of workers will leave their cars at home and tend to use public transportation for money and time efficiencies because of the longer distance from home to office instead of their private cars for longer destination to save the traveling cost. This also prevents car accidents after a frustrated working day when people are very tired and don not suit for driving (stop here). This also prevents employees from car accidents after a frustrated working day.

 

  • Change help into Tackle as the latter phrase collocates with problem.

  • The second sentence contains a minor problem of subject-and-verb agreement

  • Rural areas is counted as 2 words, so I change it with outskirts. One word is much better than two words.

  • I use a passive form to emphasize the overpopulated areas

  • As to avoid being repetitive, then I change businesses into companies


 

On the other hand, Apart from the merits, moving between urban areas and non-urban areas will cause some inconvenienences difficulties for people who already live in cities city dwellers. Firstly, changing their workplaces also means young people probably have to change their lifestyles for young people, such as their daily routines. But Furthermore, people with families will have to move to rural areas to live as a family with lower living conditions, which is not easily highly likely to give up. Moreover, some businesses like service companies will have some troubles while moving from cities because most of their potentials are in big cities. Lastly, people in urban areas need more service compared to rural ones such as healh health care, restaurants, technologies, and furnitures accomodation.

 

  • To link the idea from the previous body paragraph, then I use the phrase “ Apart from the merits”, not to use” On the other hand” as there is no strong comparison between the first and second body paragraphs.  

  • City dwellers is the most appropriate phrase

  • The second phrase of young people I omit as to show repetition

  • Some appropriate transitional signals are added to link the ideas among sentences

  • Furnitures is uncountable noun

 

In conclusion, it seems to me that the disadavantges disadvantages of moving businesses between cities and rural areas will outweight outweigh the advatages advantages it brings due to previous aforementioned reasons

 

  • The concluding paragraph is fine, but too generic. If you could, then leave your personal thought towards the issue.



Overall: 5.5

  • Task Response: 5

may not write in paragraphs, or paragraphing may be inadequate

  • Lexical Resource: 6

uses an adequate range of vocabulary for the task

attempts to use less common vocabulary but with some inaccuracy

makes some errors in spelling and/or word formation, but they do not impede communication

  • Grammatical Range and Accuracy: 6

The diagrams depict the design and location of a wave-energy machine. The design consists of several key components: a buoyant platform tethered to the seabed, an arm connected to the platform's pivot, and an oscillating water column inside the platform. The platform moves with the waves, causing the arm to pivot. This motion drives the oscillating water column, creating an airflow that spins a turbine and generates electricity. This design harnesses wave energy effectively.

The machine is situated offshore, positioned on the seabed near the coastline. It benefits from the proximity to the shoreline where wave activity is high. Placing the machine in this location optimizes its ability to capture the kinetic energy from the waves, converting it into a renewable energy source.

In comparison to other renewable energy methods, this wave-energy machine takes advantage of the constant and predictable nature of ocean waves. Unlike solar or wind energy, which are dependent on weather conditions, waves are more consistent. Additionally, its offshore location minimizes visual impact on the coastline while utilizing the natural power of the ocean.

In conclusion, the wave-energy machine's innovative design and strategic offshore location make it a promising solution for generating renewable energy from ocean waves, contributing to sustainable power generation.

Online shopping has become the favorite way nowadays for people to buy their goods. In the past we would not think of buying clothes, groceries or plane tickets online was a remote idea. With the development of technology this idea came to live.
Buying online saves time, energy and even money, before an owner of an establishment needed to have a place to sell their articles, pay utility bills, taxes for the building and so on, now the same person can run its business from the comfort of their house, give as a consequence a reduction of prices. It saves times, because your purchases are as far as a click, there is no longer lines in the store or asking a sells person to look for your size in the back. All of these helps us to use are energy in more productive activities. It also, in the case of a pandemic, when going outside was not a choice, the online shopping played a very important part in keeping some business open. As well as permiting people to keep their jobs and for others to reduce the chances of being infected at not being exposed to the environment.
As a disadvantage, it reduces social interactions, therefor increases the chances of mental health diseases like depression and anxiety. It has as a disadvantage that you might get scammed or your banking information being stolen. Could be too that there was a mistake in your order or sizing and the shipping is so expensive that you decide to keep the item even if is not of use for you; this is what had happened to me.
Is true that there are some disadvantages to shopping online but i think the advantages outweigh the disadvantages as well if all the measurements for online shopping are taken in place.

The implementation of renewable sources of energy its been one of the main ways to decrease the use of fuel and help to stop the problems that cause global warming. Several ideas are used to help this matter and one of them is  the wave-energy machine. In the two pictures provided we can see the two ways a wave-energy machine works. In first picture, it shown how a wave-energy machine works. First, the wave reaches the chambers and the air that flows allows a turbine to spin. In consequence the movement of the turbine is the one that generates electricity. Wave-energy machines can be placed in different locations to receive small waves and large waves, being the last one the one that generates high output, having as a disadvantage the high installation costs. Either way, implementing the machine in any of the two locations will help to increase our use of renewable.

two above pictures describe how a wave energy machine could work and also the costs and results difference in two different type of wave energy machine.
Renewable energy, which is also called reversible energy, is a type of energy whose production source, unlike non-renewable (fossil) energy, has the ability to be regenerated by nature in a short period of time. In other words, they are resources that can be easily replaced after consumption.

Wave power is produced by the up-and-down motion of floating devices placed on the surface of the ocean. In other words, wind produces waves, and then waves produce energy. As the waves travel across the ocean, high-tech devices capture the natural movements of ocean currents and the flow of swells to generate power.

NOWADAYS, PEOPLE ARE ABLE TO PURCHASE EVERYTHING THROUGH INTERNET. BOOKS, PLANE TICKETS AND GROCERIES ARE ONE CLICK AWAY. THIS BECAME POPULAR ESPECIALLY FOR THOSE PEOPLE LIVING FAR AWAY IN THE CITIES OR DOES NOT HAVE TIME TO PURCHASE SUCH THINGS. WHILE, THIS IS REALLY CONVENIENT, OTHERS THINK THAT THIS HAS CAUSED NEGATIVELY TO PEOPLE. IN THIS ESSAY, WE WILL DISCUSS WHY THERE ARE MANY ADVANTAGES SHOPPING ONLINE THAN ITS DRAWBACKS.

FIRSTLY, INTERNET HAS BEEN ADVANCING RAPIDLY. IN THIS PRESENT TIME, PEOPLE CAN PURCHASE EVERYTHING ONLINE WITH THE HELP OF INTERNET. THIS ALLOWS PEOPLE TO SHOP WITH CONVENIENCE BECAUSE THEY DO NOT NEED TO GO OUT AND BUY THINGS THEY NEEDED PERSONALLY. ALSO, NOT EVERYONE HAS THE ACCESS TO BUY SOMETHING THEY ALL NEEDED DUE TO THEIR LOCATION AND TIME, SO, THEY ORDER EVERYTHING ONLINE NOW. FOR EXAMPLE, THERE ARE PEOPLE WORKING IN GRAVEYARD SHIFT WHICH MEANS MOST OF THE ESTABLISHMENTS ARE NOW CLOSED AND WITH THE HELP OF THE INTERNET, THEY ARE NOW ABLE TO DO GROCERIES ONLINE AND HAVE IT DELIVER BY THE TIME THEY ARE AVAILABLE AT THEIR HOMES. IN ADDITION, DURING PANDEMIC, ONLINE SHOPPING HAS BEEN SO USEFUL TO EVERYONE AROUND THE WORLD SINCE WE DO NOT NEED TO GO OUT AND HAVING THE CHANCE TO GET INFECFTED WITH VIRUS.
ON THE OTHER HAND, PEOPLE BELIEVED THAT THIS DEVELOPMENT IS NOT GOOD BECAUSE THIS IS QUITE ADDICTING TO SOME. THIS CONVENIENCE HAS ITS DISADVANTAGES. FOR INSTANCE, YOUNG PEOPLE HAS NOW ACCESS TO BUY ANYTHING ONLINE AND THIS CAN BE OUT OF CONTROL. BUYING SOMETHING YOU WANT AND YOU OBTAINED IT SO EASILY WITHOUT ANY HASSLE CAN BE SO ADDICTING. THEY WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO STOP BUYING ONLINE AND THIS WOULD CAUSE PROBLEMS FINANCIALLY.

HOWEVER, I THINK PEOPLE ARE CAPABLE OF DISCIPLINE. IF PEOPLE ARE SPENDING THEIR MONEY WISELY, THEN ONLINE SHOPPING IS NOT A BAD THING. I BELIEVE THAT THIS IS NOT THE ONLY REASON WHY YOUNG PEOPLE ARE SPENDING THEIR MONEY ONLINE WITHOUT ANY CONTROL. THERE ARE FACTORS AS WELL, FOR EXAMPLE, A PERSON IS FEELING DOWN BECAUSE OF SOME CIRCUMSTANCES AND TRAINED THEMSELVES SINCE THE BEGINNING THAT THROUGH SHOPPING IS THE ONLY WAY TO DISTRACT THEM, WHICH IS OBVIOUSLY AN UNHEALTHY WAY TO LIFT OUR SPIRITS.

IN CONCLUSION, PROGRESS COMES WITH A PRICE, HOWEVER, PEOPLE ARE CAPABLE TO SPEND THEIR MONEY WISELY THEN BUYING THINGS ON THE INTERNET IS A GOOD OPTION FOR ALL OF US. CITIZENS WHO ARE NOT CAPABLE OF GOING OUTSIDE TO ATTEND SOME ERRANDS BECAUSE OF THEIR DISABILITIES, THEREFORE, SHOPPING ONLINE IS A BIG HELP TO THEM.

In today's world, with the advancement of technology, online shopping is becoming more popular. The vast majority of pupils believe that it opened a new way of getting orders by sitting at home, with one click in a short period of time. I strongly agree with this idea and will explain my opinion through examples.
First and foremost, Shopping through the Internet is easily accessible and we can save a lot of time. For instance, these days, people don’t have free time for purchasing items by visiting the mart, markets, and shopping malls and spent 3 to 4 hours of their day. Pupil just took their mobile phones and open the e-commerce website such as Amazon, Walmart, Daraz, etc. and get their desired products from all over the world within 3 to 4 business days. If we avoid cybercrime in online shopping, then we enhance our sales dramatically and develop customer interest as well
Another reason I agree with the statement is that in corona pandemic, people also get a lot of benefits through web buying. For example, in 2019 majority population of the world was affected by viruses, physical stores were completely shut down and everyone remained inside their houses. Moreover, people also get their food, living items, and groceries through online platforms.
On the contrary, few people think that online purchasing has involved more scammers and provides wrong information to the customer. Such as, I bought a pair of shoes for myself through an e-commerce website, at the site, the picture was well-edited and attracted me to the checkout procedure. Firstly, my package was delayed for two days, when I received the product then it was totally changed in size, I ordered 7 numbers and get 9 numbers which were useless for me. I contacted the manager and request to refund of my money but that was a long procedure. As a result, some people discourage the buying through Internet.
In conclusion, although it is a common perception that people avoid buying items through the Internet, I believe it doesn’t need spare time and also was very effective during pandemics. Personally, I think, we should enjoy the facility of online buying.

This diagram depicts the process of how a wave energy machine works and the installation of the machine at different locations based on its desired output.
As far as the first image is concerned, this is a process of producing electricity through a wave energy machine. It consists of two chambers upper chamber including the turbine and the lower chamber comprises a partition for the water entrance. When the water wave enters through the bottom chamber of the machine then it increases the pressure which moves upward direction through the partition available between the two chambers. This water flow in the upper chamber creates to start the turbine in a clockwise direction. There is also one strainer partition present at the upper chamber which allows the airflow to make pressure in a downward direction which further helps the turbine to move in same direction. Extra pressure is removed through large opening at upper chamber. Electricity generator is attached at left of the upper chamber of the machine to transfer the electricity to grid.
The second image shows how we can get maximum output by installing it at different locations. There are two machines were installed according to the water wave height. The machine on the left side of the picture is encountered with a maximum height of the water and also releases a large amount of water which makes strong hydraulic jumps and produces maximum output. Although it's not economical for small villages or low population. On the other hand, a second machine on the right side of the image is striking with low water wave which producing low output and seems like that it is more economical for small city.
In conclusion, both images are the energy-producing machines to be installed at rivers or canals.
