or for their own advantages and state I tend to agree with the former.
First
of all, if people in
society
are not in good physical condition, it leads to other citizens’ lives more difficult.

if people do not live well and the number of patients increases, the tax that the government has to spend will raise. As a consequence, the tax rates will be increased. If

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
