Mission briefing

Writing prompt: Should popular tourist destinations introduce stricter limits on tourism? Discuss the benefits and drawbacks and give your opinion.

Neuro-Tip: Do not hunt for isolated connectors. Decide what each paragraph is doing: framing, presenting a benefit, developing a cost, proposing a response, conceding a limitation or reaching a judgement.

Weak sentence:
Tourism provides a lot of works and it makes the economy to grow, however it also have negative effects.

Improved: Tourism provides substantial employment and supports economic activity; however, it can also create significant social and environmental pressures.

Why? Work is normally uncountable in this meaning; make + object + infinitive takes no to; it takes has; and a semicolon or full stop is preferable before however when it joins two independent clauses.
