Band 7

Some people believe that children should be allowed to stay at home and play until they are six or seven years old. Others believe that it is important for young children to go to school as soon as possible. What do you think are the advantages of attending school from a young age?

It is sometimes believed that minors should only play at home until they are on the verge of adulthood while some are of the opinion that schooling should commence as early as possible.
This
 essay intends to discuss the benefits associated with the latter.
To begin
, the achievement of one's developmental milestone is one of the numerous advantages of
this
 development.
This
 is because the
school
 environment is quite different from that of home and is purposefully structured for learning through various means. At the learning centre,
children
 are forced into healthy competitions with their mates and
this
 enhances brain development as well as make them able to perform tasks that are expected of their age brackets. To illustrate, my little nephew was born on the 6th of December, 2020, he had difficulty with speech as could only mumble some words but two weeks after he was enrolled in the pre-nursery section of the Good Shepherd nursery
school
 John became fluent with words.
Thus
, the early onset of
school
 among
children
 enables them to perform functions that are expected of their age.
Moreover
, one cannot only attain an expected milestone but can as well learn how to socialize with people that are not family members.
Children
 are anti-social by nature and would only prefer to be attended to by their immediate family members if not only by their mothers.
This
 is because the baby had developed trust in them as they are his primary caregivers.
Thus
, starting
school
 on time gives them the opportunity to see other toddlers and interact with them as socialization gives room for
further
 learning. In conclusion, though some people think that
children
 should be given time to vibe at home and start
school
 later. While
this
 might not be totally out of place, I think there are valuable benefits associated with early
school
 enrollment.

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
