this
 sort of trend definitely do outweigh the advantage There are various advantages to having processed and easy cooked

.
Firstly
, we are living in a modern world where we are so much busy with our daily routine work and not paying attention to our

Consequently
, we rely on ready-made
food
such
 as McDonald, KFC, or other fast
food
.
Moreover
, without concentrated efforts on making
food
 at home, we can easily reduce our time by using processed
food
.
In addition
 to that, pre-cooked
foods
 have an abundance of minerals and vitamin that are essential to our body.
On the other hand
, fast and processed

 is very disadvantageous.

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
