1. Computer technologies are more accessible and cheaper, as the result, more adults work at home and children study at home. Is this a positive or negative development?

#computer #technologies #adults #work #home #children #study #development
The widespread of telecommunication technology has opened up possibilities for working and studying at home. With the necessary equipment,
such
 as the Internet, laptops, and printers, employees nowadays can
work
 from home at ease, and
students
 can enjoy unlimited access to knowledge through distance learning. One of the most apparent advantages of
this
 development is greater flexibility. By working remotely, employees can choose to perform daily
work
 after finishing household chores or childcare responsibilities rather than sticking to a fixed timetable.
Students
 can manage time and plan their learning process in line with their actual command of lessons since online courses spare them the trouble of struggling to keep up with teachers in classes. Another benefit is enhanced availability of employment and education. Home-working makes it more possible for employers to recruit people living in another city or even disabled workers,
thus
 job opportunities more accessible to individuals.
Similarly
, online learning is remarkably favourable for
students
 who live far away from school or those with physical handicaps.
On the other hand
, it should be noted that
this
 trend might bring about some problems. Employers may have to face difficulty monitoring and evaluating employees' performance if a flexible
work
 mode largely dominates a company.
Likewise
, distance learning may lead to the possibility that some young
students
 who lack self-discipline would be affected by violence and pornography on the Internet.
However
, these troubles can be solved by strengthening supervision. To be specific, employers can make a detailed daily task list for workers and check their
work
 regularly. As for
students
, they are giving timely parental guide and limiting their access to the Internet is a productive way of protecting them from going astray. My view is that working and studying at home is a positive development.
Nevertheless
, appropriate methods should be worked out to prevent the likely problems from
this
 move.

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
