Some people believe that 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 sites. In my opinion, offering all children free entrance would be problematic, and
therefore
 should be offered to certain minors. Making these cultural centres open without charges for under

Therefore

As a result

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
