As a result

For example

but there are some remedies that can fix

. The key to address the issue of losing our traditional culture is through our parents and
schools
.
Firstly

schools

of work-life and conventional practices.
This
will not only improve their quality of life in future but
also
help young children to know their roots and get familiar with some of the conventional activities.
Finally
, parents should get their kids involved in their religious practices as much as they can so that they can establish a connection between the kids and the long-established tradition. To conclude, with the help of
schools
and parents the lost values of our long-established tradition can be recovered. Having a way for the people to connect to their old
customs
can enable them to understand and practice those values and activities again.

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
