Some people regard video games as harmless fun, or even as a useful educational tool. Others, however, believe that video games are having an adverse effect on the people who play them. Discuss both views and give your own opinion.

This
essay attempts to discuss both views before coming to a reasoned conclusion. On the one hand,
video
games
have a bad effect on
people
who play them.
First

may affect the behaviour or the characteristics of the child. There are more and more violent

On the other hand

video

have a wide range of benefits if we use it in the right way.

people
can choose the language which they want to improve their skills or their vocabularies.

such
as educating them to recognise colour and how to use colour to decorate the room or some cooking

can educate a child to cook some easy foods. In conclusion,
video
games
have a lot of merits and shortcomings. To my point of view, the disadvantages of
video
games
may be weighed by the advantages if we can manage time to play
games
. And parents should know what kind of
games
their
children
are playing so that they can prevent
children
if they play some violent

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
