Some people believe that it is best to accept a bad situation, such as an unsatisfactory job or shortage of money. Others argue that it is better to try and improve such situations.

In our lives, everything has its advantages and disadvantages which can
consequently
make a situation good or bad. While it could be argued that we had better consider an uncomfortable circumstance as unavoidable , I believe that we all should always give it a try to make it better. On the one hand, there are several benefits that accepting an uncomfortable situation can bring to the table.
First
of all, it would give us more time to concentrate on the other things that could make us happier and more motivated.
Therefore
, we would be able to do our jobs better or live better lives.
Second
of all, by accepting it, we gradually learn the skills to adapt to a new environment easier.
In other words
, we could endure any difficulties in life.
On the other hand
, making a concerted effort to tackle the problems would definitely give us much more positive results. The rewards we gain from doing that are a can-do attitude, the habit of never giving up in any tough circumstances and becoming mentally stronger.
This
would lead to a very successful life. The
second
positive result we gain is creativity. When we always think of solutions, we would inevitably find a variety of strategies that can help to deal with anything.
This
can be applied in our work and in all aspects of our lives, and overcoming challenging obstacles is very satisfying. In conclusion,
although
addressing a difficulty and accepting it can be regarded as a good practice, I still argue that coming up with as many solutions as possible to cope with it should be seen as better practice.

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
