Nowadays, advancement in artificial intelligence and unprecedented increase in the volume of data, text materials, in various

, on the internet, have made it possible for computer scientists to design algorithms which are likely to translate between two
languages

 as precisely as a professional translator.
As a result

 statement and believe that learning a new
language

 is a great way to improve your brain functionality. On the one hand, there is no doubt that computers have become really fast and accurate in translation, which is used to be thought of as a human quality.
Although

ignificant improvement in their accuracy in translating between two majority

such

 as French-to-English, Chinese-to-English, or vice versa, they are not as accurate as human counterparts in many minority
languages

.
This

 is because there is not much text on the internet written in
languages
Use synonyms
 which are spoken by a small number of communities
such

 as some in Africa.
Therefore

, learning foreign

 is a virtue for small communities to interact with other people and promote their culture and heritage.
On the other hand

, learning a
language

 other than your mother tongue is likely to boost your brains' grey matter, in turn, improving your learning skill in other areas of science as well. It is shown that students who are bilingual might show superior academic performance, and are better at problem-solving and critical thinking.
Moreover

, there is research that learning a new

 can improve the memory of elderly patients who suffer from dementia.
Thus

, not only learning a

 but
also

 it enhances your brain functionality. In conclusion, despite the fact that computers might be better in translation in some

, they lack the quality in

 which have fewer people who speak them.
Hence

, I think that spending

, and it is expected to improve your brain functions.

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
