Sports
 have gained ground in many countries during the
last
 decade. It has been noticed that the community is adding exercises to their daily routine.
People
 of all ages are practising various
sports
 and
this
 has definitely been beneficial for their personal growth, even though the disadvantage of over-exercising is minor. Physical exercises have always been recommended by doctors. Nowadays,
people
 are becoming health conscious due to multiple diseases rising.
Hence
, they are doing more
sports
 in various fields to keep themselves fit and healthy, thereby breaking their monotonous lifestyle. Doing regular movements provide the right balance and good blood flow in the body reducing the risk of obesity, which is responsible for the death of 30% of the population annually.
Furthermore
, regular exercises allow
people
 to engage and socialise with others.
This
 develops a sense of togetherness and solidarity in society.
For example
,
people
 feel more confident and have better self-esteem about themselves. They are able to participate and interact with different
people
 while doing
sports
,
hence
, increasing their knowledge about multiple cultures.
On the other hand
, the main disadvantage of
sports
 is the campaign and advertisements that are made by gyms.
For instance
, having sophisticated machines for bodybuilding can make
people
 over-exercise, which can result in cardiovascular pain. Some
people
 who become obsessed with having the perfect body tend to exercise more than required.
This
 is not in favour of good health as most of their time is being spent at the gym straining their muscles
instead
 of working for a living. To sum up, the practice of
sports
 has both its advantages and drawbacks.
However
, I strongly believe that doing
sports
, irrespective of the age, regularly with the correct guidance and the right pace is extremely useful for society.

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
