Science can become a powerful weapon if
countries
 use it wisely. Some people think that it is good to share the
information
to

research
, whereas some people believe that some
information
 is too important or too valuable to be shared freely. In my opinion,
although
 sharing
information
 can benefit our society, it is a waste of budget for some
countries
.
First
 of all, if all of the
countries
 need to share their scientific
research
, other
countries
 would choose to wait for the
information
.
This
 means that the level of scientific
research
 will decelerate since they can just wait for free
information
 shared by other
countries
.
For example
, if a
country
 can get the latest medicine which can cure Covid-19,
then
 why that
country
 would spend

 by themselves.
Moreover
, if

scientific

 other

,
then
 the method of producing nuclear weapons would
also
 be shared equally. To be specific, all
of

the
countries
 would own nuclear weapons.
Therefore
,
this
 might cause a disaster to our earth if there is a regional conflict or even a global conflict between
countries
. Once the
country
 decides to bombard these weapons, it would cause a catastrophe to people, lands, and water.
Last
 but not least,
although

, these

 would lose their competence at the same time.
Furthermore
, if the main
research
country
 decides not to share the
information
 freely, other
countries
 would be restricted by the main
country
.
For instance
, since most of the counties in Africa need financial

, those

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
