Giving Details

Sometimes writers choose to make a General Statement and then, without saying for example or such as, they add extra information to make clear to the reader what is meant by their General Statement.

For example:

One way of dealing with the problem of run-down estates is to demolish vast areas of such buildings, as has been done in Hulme in south-central Manchester, and replace them with new flats, houses, schools and shops. This process is known as urban renewal.


In the above the Extra Information is in italics and the General Statement is underlined.
