It is often said that social media and TV give the opportunity to many folks to become widely known. I would argue that
this
trend has both advantages and disadvantages. Never before have we seen so many
celebrities
on TV and social media.

celebrities
make millions of euros every year, while others who were studying all their life do not earn so much. A clear illustration of
this
could be said to be, that the most famous TikToker earns more money than the vast majority of CEOs in Wall Street.
On the other hand
,
this
gave the possibility to others to do it for a living. In my ,opinion
this
is legit and a win-win situation because they could not do anything else in their life and entertain the viewers.
In addition
to that, I am of the belief, that the
celebrities
on television are more talented than those on the internet. Except for

, many of them are
also
educated.
This
makes television shows more prestigious than Youtubers or TikTokers. A clear example of
that is
Giorgos Karakostas, who has a TV show on a Greek channel. Giorgos Karakostas has 2 bachelor degrees and a master as well, and his show always is so instructive in many aspects because he talks about history and politics in every episode. To sum up, in

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
