Band 5.5

Some people believe that the museums and historic sites should be open for free for children under 18. Do you agree or disagree?

Youngsters below the age of 18 are seen as minors,
thus
 many people think that it is better not to charge them whenever they visit
such
 places like museums and historic centres. In my opinion, offering all children free entrance would be problematic, and
therefore
 should be offered to certain children. Making these art and cultural centres open without pay for under eighteen would incur so much

This
 is because their numbers would be outrageous

 making them difficult to be controlled by the staffs. In order to repair the damaged structures, extra finance would be

 sometimes come from funds allocated to other public services.
Furthermore
, keeping these important places open without entrance fees for youngsters would make them not to attach any value to them,
thus
 demoting the prestige and honour ascribed to them.
Nevertheless
, some younger chaps can be allowed to visit without paying.
For example
, in schools, certain parents found it difficult to pay their children's school fees not to talk

As a result
, poor students are encouraged to work harder in order to be included in all their school's activity. In conclusion, despite peoples' view, I still believe that allowing access to museums and historic sites without charge for younger individuals might become a burden for some countries and
thus
 should be considered for few chaps.

Support ideas with relevant, specific examples

Examples make your writing easier to understand by illustrating points more effectively.

Examples, if used properly, not only help you get higher marks for ‘Task Response’ but also for ‘Coherence’.

When giving examples it is best to put them after your main idea or topic sentence. They can be used in the middle of supporting sentences or they can be used to start a new sentence. There is no rule for where exactly to give examples in essays, logically they would come after your main idea/topic sentence or just after a supporting sentence.

Linking words for giving examples:

  • for example
  • for instance
  • to illustrate this
  • to give a clear example
  • such as
  • namely
  • to illustrate
  • take, for example
