✨ Do you want to improve your IELTS writing?
With the advent of the boost of a large deal of information, it gets easier for
children

 to be exposed to different kinds of advertising. Once sitting in front of the screen,
children
Use synonyms
 can get access to various ads. I would firmly agree with the statement that advertising targeted at
children
Use synonyms
 should be banned. Here are the main reasons to prove my argument.
Firstly
Linking Words
, one of the most noticeable shortcomings is that
advertisements
Use synonyms
 are persuading adolescents who still don't have their own firm ideas, to buy more than they need. To be specific, some
children
Use synonyms
 from less well-off backgrounds were encouraged to consume some expensive toys, video games and some other commodities aimed at them.
This
Linking Words
 will cause a poor relationship between parents and kids if teenagers' needs cannot be satisfied which
further

 might lead them to achieve their goal by illegal methods. Without those persuading ads,
children

 may not consume more than their families can afford.
Therefore
Linking Words
, too much advertising aimed at
children
Use synonyms
 should not be exposed to them. On the other side, another essential drawback is that
advertisements
Use synonyms
 may take up too much time for youngsters,
hence

 it may longer their screen time and cause a negative impact on
children

's eyesight.
For example
Linking Words
, when a child is working on his assignment with an iPad, an ad in video form might catch kids' attention and the child would stop his assignment to watch the ad.
Consequently

,
children

 may spend more time watching the video advertisement, which will bring a damaging effect on their eyesight. I personally think that
advertisements
Use synonyms
 that appeared in
children
Use synonyms
's programs should be banned. In summary, parents and teachers have the duty to reduce the chance for
children
Use synonyms
 to watch
advertisements
Use synonyms
. If possible, some principles should be established to prevent businesses to promote their commodities among teenagers.

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
