It is important for children to learn the difference between right and wrong at an early age. Punishment is necessary to help them learn this distinction. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this opinion? What sort of punishment should parents and teachers be allowed to use to teach good behaviour to children?

Children
 are not mature enough to differentiate between negative and positive aspects of any work. To teach them the disparity between right and wrong, some people believe that
punishment
 is important.
However

 can lead to stubborn attitude.
In contrast

For instance

, will turn up as a notorious child automatically in everyone's eyes.
Therefore

as a result

 premises. Undoubtedly, to teach good behaviour, parents and teachers should act as their childhood friends.
This

 to share and discuss anything without any hesitation.
Consequently

 theory, teachers should follow the reward strategy to encourage students to follow the optimistic direction.
For example

 by family members and teachers will definitely accustom or enlarge youngster's negative perspectives and make them self-centred while becoming their friends or using the reward theory will teach them about the difference of pros and cons of their decisions.

Use a variety of complex and simple sentences

You should use complex sentences in your writing, but it does not mean that you should try to make all of our sentences complex.

‘Complex’ sentences are not actually very complex; they are just two or more simple sentences put together. Putting them together makes the essay more coherent and cohesive.

Examples:

I really want to study but I’m too tired.

I wore a warm coat because the weather was cold.

If action is not taken soon on climate change, global warming will get worse.
