and not the family. In
this

essay, I am going to give and explain my reasons why.
First
Linking Words
of all, the
government

has sufficient funds from different sources
such

as income tax and tourism.
For example

, there is a certain percentage
that is

monthly pay by employers as per the country’s law.
Furthermore
Linking Words
, seniors who have worked for many years in the past have contributed to the country’s economy by paying their share of income tax.
Therefore

, it is the
government

’s obligation to offer
this

care

at no cost.
Secondly

families, hence

for their aged parents and juggle work.
This

is because a person working a 12-hour shift needs time to commute and rest after work. If a family member who works long hours decided to take

of their elderly parents, he or she will end up getting burnout from all the work.
As a result

or even end up getting themselves fired. In conclusion, the availability of enough funds from the

and insufficient time available to provide

to seniors by family members indicates that the British

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.
