Modern lifestyle is completely different from the way people lived in the past. Some people think that the changes have been very positive while some others believe they have negative.

People
's
lifestyle
 is changing tremendously in each year.
People
 shape their
life
 patterns with regard to the emerging trends of society. Some
people
 uphold it as a positive trend, while others have reservations about it. In my opinion, the modern
lifestyle
 poses more disadvantages than advantages. On the one hand, there are some merits due to the advent of a new style of
life
.
Firstly
, in today’s
life
,
people
 accept the
life
 pattern which is convenient. Since there are troves of resources or choices to adapt, they absorb the most suitable version so they feel more comfortable.
Moreover
, the modern
lifestyle
 has several facilities which reduce physical workload and make their duty easier.
As a result
, the community adopts these technologies to assist them in their daily chores.
In addition
 to it, it is very time-saving. Nowadays ‘time became money ’,
hence
 society feels these changes as a blessing to survive in
this
 competitive world.
On the other hand
, there are several arguments to encounter its merits.
Firstly
, changes in
lifestyle
 have pernicious influences on our health. To make it clear, new food habits like fast foods, persevered foods, soft drinks etc are the primary cause of deadly diseases like cancer.
Also
, a sedentary
lifestyle
 and lack of physical activity leads to obesity and ends up in diseases like diabetes mellitus, hypertension etc.
In addition
, round the clock use of modern devices like mobile phones, computers internets etc affect the human body due to radiation. Another important factor is that there is reduced interaction and communication in the family compared to the past. Since both parents are working with different shift hours, they did not get time to meet each other, and no time to talk with children.
Thus
 they lead a machinery
life
 rather than a family
life
. In fact, we can say that parents are failures to mould a child especially the personality and overall development.
In addition
, new generations lack our values, customs, cultures etc due to the introduction of other modern styles.
Thus
, they adopt other customs or values which are convenient without considering their drawbacks. To sum up, it is proved beyond doubt that new style of
life
 pattern has more negative impact than positive change. We should use our prudence and discernment while adopting any changes in our
life
 patterns and not be swayed by its vast benefits.

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
