Some people think that teenagers should be required to do unpaid work in their free time to help the local community They believe this would benefit both the individual teenager and society as a whole Do you agree or disagree?

Volunteering is one of the best services an individual/youngster can provide to society. Some masses think of it as an opportunity and others might reckon it as a wastage of time. I strongly believe that helping in need makes one feel proud. I will make my point clear in the following paragraphs. From my personal experience, doing unpaid work always gave me happiness and
also
aided me in gaining experience in that particular field.
For instance
, my friends and I once volunteered with the marketing team of "Clean India Mission" in which we designed banners and wrote slogans to attract more people towards
this
amazing cause.
This
work helped me get a job opportunity in Sales and marketing in a multinational company later.
This
event
also
helped in cleaning the streets which prevented diseases like dengue, asthma, etc.
Furthermore
, by indulging in these types of acts youngsters should treat society as a family.
In addition
, it helps in gaining trust for each other which boosts the social lives of teenagers and it creates a vibe of positivity.
For instance
, free medical camps are set up by the government in various parts of India which are helping families below the poverty line, get medicine and treatment for free.
This
benefits both sides as it builds trust in the heart of people for the government and on the other, hand people with an underlying medical condition get treated without being charged. In some cases,
although
medical students volunteer in these camps, it still helps them in getting hands-on experience and uplift their resume. To conclude, I will say volunteering is a win-win situation for everyone involved and in my, opinion there is no better way of spending our free time, than helping someone in need.

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.

  • for example
  • for instance
  • to illustrate this
