In many countries,there has been an increase in social problems involving teenagers in recent years. Many people believe that
this
 is due to modern lifestyles because parents spend more and more hours at work and have less time to supervise their children. I strongly agree with
this
 statement for the following reasons.
Firstly
, nowadays families are different from old-style families, normally people in old traditional families used to live altogether with all the relatives .By doing
this
, grandparents used to teach and educate children most of the time while parents were working.
Although
, in the
last
 decade more and more people begun to move to the cities centres where there are smaller houses that didn't allow
this
 situation. To cite an example, when I was a child, I was living in a house with 15 members of my family and I spent most of my free time with my grandparents. But
then
 we moved to a near city and

 lived only with my parents.
Secondly
, due to the modern lifestyle, children tend to grow earlier than before as they have more activities that they could join,
such
 as shopping centres, cinemas and different stores.
Moreover
, nowadays almost every city is safer than it was before, so children tend to go outside more often compared to old generation children.
In addition
, in these days, there are a lot of events during the nighttime
that is
 mostly frequented by teenagers.
For instance
,when I was a child, in my city there was just one cinema and there weren't any other activities than parks or similar. To sum up, It would be advisable that both people and school cooperate in order to tackle
this
 issue.
Also
 by creating dedicated classes that learn civic education to teenagers.

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
