It is inevitable that traditional cultures will be lost as technology develops. Technology and tradition are incompatible. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this view?

cultures
 to change and my reason will be outlined. On the one hand, it is admitted that
technology
 offers some clear benefits to maintaining

 is that provides knowledge of

In particular

 will understand the importance of their

.
For example
, a product of
technology
 called Facebook is a social media which can connect local
people
 and tourists to have a cultural conversation,
thus
 foreigners will know more about their
cultures
.
On the other hand
, there still exist some drawbacks of
technology
 to traditional.
Firstly
, the development of automation could be disadvantageous because it causes some changes in our culture. To illustrate, on the “Tet holiday”
people
 often make “Chung cake” which is a traditional cake on

 day but when shopping online develops,
people
 tend to buy the already-made Chung cake

 of making it with their family.

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
