t is argued that a satisfying income would be regarded as the most vital part when
people
 are faced with a career choice, especially for young
people
. As far as I am concerned, I partly agree with
this
 opinion, since
salary
 is a key consideration, but not the only one. A good
salary
 is definitely necessary for
people
 who are desperate for a decent life.
This
 is because it would support basic living needs.
For instance
, food, rent and the necessary bills are all needed to be paid for in
this
 society , and high living expenses push
people
 to choose a land
job
 that can provide a better
salary
.
Therefore
 so many young
people
 would prioritize good money when choosing
work
. Meanwhile, except for maintaining personal survival, many
people
 have to afford a family where a high
salary
 is indispensable for supporting the children's education or parents' caring fee.
On the other hand
, there are other significant factors that
people
 will consider when deciding on a
job
.
Firstly
, working environment and good colleague relationships
also
 play a positive role in
work
, which will improve
job
 satisfaction and
work
 quality. Apart from that, a sense of
work
 achievement and the possibility to learn something from
work
 is valued by some
people
, since professionals will achieve tremendous fulfilment from
work
.
Finally
, some
people
 are willing to
work
 in charity for free , because they just enjoy the feeling of helping
people
 and society. In conclusion, a decent income is a key factor in choosing a career, but it is not always the most vital consideration, since
people
 will choose a
job
 based on their own preferences and situations.

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
