Some

believe that
animals
Use synonyms
should be treated in the same way
humans
Use synonyms
are and have similar rights, whereas others think that it is more important to use them (
animals
Use synonyms
) as we desire for
food
Use synonyms
and medical
research
Use synonyms
.
This
Linking Words
essay will discuss both points of view. With regard to the exploitation of
animals
Use synonyms
,
people
Use synonyms
believe it is acceptable for several reasons.
Firstly
Linking Words
, they (
people
Use synonyms
) think that
humans
Use synonyms
are the most important beings on the planet, and everything must be done to ensure human survival. If
this
Linking Words
(ensuring human survival) means experimenting on
animals
Use synonyms
so that we (
humans
Use synonyms
)can fight and find cures for diseases,
then
Linking Words
this
Linking Words
(experimenting on
animals
Use synonyms
) takes priority over animal suffering.
Furthermore
Linking Words
, it is believed by some that
animals
Use synonyms
do not feel pain or loss as
humans
Use synonyms
do, so if we (
humans
Use synonyms
) have to kill
animals
Use synonyms
for
food
Use synonyms
or other uses,
then
Linking Words
this
Linking Words
(killing
animals
Use synonyms
for
food
Use synonyms
or other uses) is morally acceptable.
However
Linking Words
, I do not believe these arguments (the previous arguments - though
this
Linking Words
is made clear by the noun repeated after it in
this
Linking Words
case) stand up to scrutiny.
To begin
Linking Words
, it has been shown on numerous occasions by secret filming in laboratories via animal rights groups that
animals
Use synonyms
feel as much pain as
humans
Use synonyms
do,
andthey
Correct your spelling
and they
(
animals
Use synonyms
) suffer when they (
animals
Use synonyms
) are kept in cages for long periods.
In addition
Linking Words
, a substantial amount of animal
research
Use synonyms
is done for cosmetics, not to find cures for diseases, so
this
Linking Words
(animal
research
Use synonyms
for cosmetics) is unnecessary.
Finally
Linking Words
, it has
also
Linking Words
been proven that
humans
Use synonyms
can get all the nutrients and vitamins that they(
humans
Use synonyms
) need from green vegetables and fruit.
Therefore
Linking Words
, again, having to kill
animals
Use synonyms
for
food
Use synonyms
is not an adequate argument. To sum up,
although
Linking Words
some
people
Use synonyms
argue killing
animals
Use synonyms
for
research
Use synonyms
and
food
Use synonyms
is ethical, I would argue there is sufficient evidence to demonstrate that
this
Linking Words
(the arguments that killing
animals
Use synonyms
for
research
Use synonyms
and
food
Use synonyms
is ethical) is not the case, and,
therefore
Linking Words
, steps must be taken to improve the rights of
animals
Use synonyms
.

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
