We live in a modern age where technological advancements happen rapidly having their effects on human society. Due to
this
, traditional ways of doing things are being forgotten. One
such
 thing is handwriting skills. Some folks believe that handwriting skills must be taught to children while others don't. Though there are arguments, I radically believe that it is important for children to have these skills.In
this
 essay, I will explain both views and explain them with examples.
To begin
 with, there are a plethora of advantages in teaching the skill.
Firstly
, emergency case.
In other words
, a
person
 can write something which might help him where there is no internet access.
For example
, a
person
 like Bear Grills, who travels through dangerous forests cannot access the web all the time. If he is stranded on an island and needs help, he can write a letter put it inside a bottle and throw it into the sea. A
person
 who is on the other side of the sea can be of immense help if he sees the message.
Secondly
, data
that is
 stored on a computer may get corrupted if some kind of malware attacks the system. If the data is stored in the form of books(handwritten) they can be preserved for a longer duration with proper care. On the other side, there are demerits of teaching handwriting as well. A couple of reasons that stand out are the wastage of resources and time. A
person
 needs a paper to write down things.
This
 paper is produced by cutting down the trees. If
this
 is done in excess
then
 it might lead to ecological imbalance. When we get used to typing, most of them observe that it is faster when compared to the former one. He can
also
 erase the wrong data easily using the backspace feature. But
this
 case is different in the case of handwriting. Once something is written down,
then
 it is done. All these things can be taken care of when one uses the resources economically. To sum up,
although
 there are both advantages and disadvantages, I believe that teaching
such
 a skill to children comes in handy in their life.

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
