First body paragraph
Step 1: Topic sentence
(Use a simple sentence to introduce the causes.)
The leading causes of overpopulation in metropolitan areas are the availability of employment possibilities

(Explain both causes in 2-4 sentences.)

from small towns and villages, following their dreams of living a comfortable life. Urban sprawl has brought
about job opportunities, which are usually missing in developing regions. Individuals are likely to be given a
chance to acquire knowledge and improve their skills to be qualified for numerous job vacancies awaiting
them in big cities. Moreover, masses of the population move to these areas to access public facilities.
(The first main reason is explained in a few compound and complex sentences. However, I decided to describe the
second reason briefly to make use of an example to explain it further later on.)
Step 3: Example
(It is always a good idea to give an example as it helps develop body paragraphs.)
