children
compared to the previous generations.
This
fact might bring a few problems for both, the country and the family.
However
, the government may encourage people to have more offspring in future. There are some issues which might occur because of reducing the number of
children
in
families
.
First
, some nations may significantly decrease in population.
For example
, we can see
such
a tendency in Ukraine now when the number of yearly deaths far more exceed the count of newborn
children
.
As a result
, the Ukrainian nation becomes older each year.
Second
, the drawback for parents in having fewer
children
is that they will be less secure in their old age.
In other words
, the possibility of being protected and being not alone is raised much higher when parents have more
children
, and ,

a large family has tighter bones compared with a family with a few
children
. I believe that those problems might be solved on the governmental level. Each country’s government, where there is a problem with a growing population, ought to create a program for giving support to all
families
to encourage them to have more
children
.
This
has sense because people who see how the government’s policy works will be sure in their future.
Furthermore
, the higher parent’s stability and the confidence in the future are the higher childbirth will be.
Thus
, the benefits for society and
families
will be noticeable in a short period of time. In conclusion, in spite of the fact that in present years we can see that generally there are fewer
children
in
families
than it was before,
this
issue might be handled by the government.

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
