Band 7.5

Some people think that individuals today are more dependent on each other. Others believe people have become more independent. Discuss both views and give your own opinion.

#people #individuals
In the present day, the individuality of
people
 and their independence are a primary concern in any society. While some
people
 claim that today the number of
individuals
 dependent has been increased, others believe that the proportion of independent
people
 are much higher. I tend to agree with the latter. From my point of view, nowadays,
individuals
 have much more chances to appreciate opportunities. On the one hand, some
individuals
 believe that part of the population has become much more dependent due to the fact of many
adults
 still reside with their parents.
Although
 they have an occupation, they still need
this
 kind of helping to live. Different from North American citizens where the habit is to leave the house of parents around sixteen years old.
Moreover
,
this
 reality in our society is owing to a lack of financial stability which leads to an increase of mental disorders resulting in
adults
 being much more dependent.
On the other hand
, another part of the population claims that
individuals
 are dependent on technologies.
Therefore
, the advance of globalization and technology could have become these
individuals
 much more independent,
in other words
, more lonely.
For instance
, different from the past, today
people
 have more opportunities to jump at them not only in private life but
also
 in work-life,
as a result
,
adults
 are more independent. As far as I am concerned, nowadays, families are much more supportive and reliable.
Hence
,
individuals
 know that even if happing something wrong, they have the support of their families.
This
 protection helps them to be more independent.
Furthermore
, today, they have more chances and freedom to appreciate opportunities different from years ago when the pressure and criticisms were higher.
In other words
, fear of the new became them more dependent. In conclusion, the presence of familiar faces is essential to growing up,
however
,
adults
 need to learn to be more independent. Independence means more freedom to make own decisions and
this
 is of paramount importance to build a good human being.

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
