To begin
 with, the reasons why some

 think that there is only one way to study a

 and working in foreign countries have the additional benefit of learning through their culture. Many countries have various cultures, and it will enhance

's perspectives and allow

 to absorb their

 more quickly.
However
, some
people
 argue that there are alternative ways to improve because, at present, our world is connected to each other by technology. We can learn not only

 but
also
 culture from applications on our mobile phones,
such
 as Duolingo, Tandem, and so on.
Also
, there are tons of foreigners from many countries travelling to our
country
, so we can learn the
language
 by meeting them and having a conversation with them.
Besides
, as far as I experienced and observed myself, I personally think that we do not have to go overseas to study languages because I am the one who has never been to a foreign
country
, but I can still learn a
language
 in my hometown. If we have a strong desire to learn something, we will eventually find a way to do it. To conclude everything that has been started so far, I totally agree with the aspect that

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
