Some people say that the experiences a child has before starting school have the most influence on their future life. Others say that experiences as a teenager, especially at school are more influential. Discuss both views and give your own opinion

 experiences have a huge impact on people's lives. While some believe that childhood experiences have more impact, others suggest that

 in adolescence can bring about many changes. I truly believe that the latter's perspective makes more sense when the person is mature enough to explain what is happening to them and those around them

For example
, when a person goes through a financial crisis, perhaps, he knows what went wrong in his plan leading to

 a tragic situation. In the end, he rarely made the same mistake in the future because he learned the lesson from his teenage years.

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
