Which type of text structure is being used below?
Urban and rural areas offer vastly different lifestyles, each with its own set of advantages and challenges. In urban areas, such as cities, life is fast-paced, with numerous job opportunities, bustling streets, and a wide range of amenities, including schools, healthcare, and entertainment. People in urban areas often lead hectic lives, commute to work, and enjoy cultural diversity.
In contrast, rural areas, typically located in the countryside, offer a quieter and more relaxed lifestyle. Residents may have access to beautiful landscapes, clean air, and a strong sense of community. However, rural areas may lack some of the conveniences of urban life, such as easy access to healthcare or job opportunities. Understanding these differences can help individuals make informed choices about where they want to live and what kind of lifestyle they prefer.

Which type of text structure is being used below?
Excessive screen time among students can have significant causes and effects. The cause often starts with the widespread availability of smartphones, computers, and other digital devices. Students spend hours each day on these screens, often for schoolwork, but also for entertainment and socializing. As a result, they experience a range of effects. One prominent effect is a decrease in physical activity, as students may spend less time outdoors or engaging in sports.
Additionally, excessive screen time can disrupt sleep patterns, leading to fatigue and difficulty concentrating in class. The overuse of screens can also impact students' social skills, as face-to-face interactions become less frequent. To mitigate these effects, it's essential for students and their families to establish healthy screen time limits and encourage more balanced use of digital devices.
