Some people believe that the responsibility is with the government to control the rise in obesity in children, others think the parents are the cause. Discuss both views and give your opinion.

There has been a controversy about whether the
government
 should be responsible for the growth of child obesity. I think the
government
 and the
parents
 should share the responsibility, and my reasons will be explained in the following paragraphs.
First
, if it's the poor management in
food
 safety control,
then
 the
government
 should be responsible for it. Take
chocolate
 as an example. We all love eating
chocolate
. There are two types of
chocolate
 in the world; one contains cocoa butter, and one contains cocoa butter replacer. It has been reported that cocoa butter replacer has rich fatty acids, which make a significant contribution to the growth of child obesity.
Therefore
,
this
chocolate
 is banned in many countries;
nevertheless
, it is still rampant in some countries, like China. At
this
 point, the
government
 should better manage its
food
 safety control.
Second
, the
government
 should control the number of Fast
food
 ads in public areas. It's commonplace that we constantly see many Fast
food
 ads in shopping malls and on the main streets. Those ads invariably look fascinating and eye-catching. They exert an imperceptible influence on bystanders' minds to convince them to buy more junk
food
.
As a result
,
such
 a phenomenon leads to a rise in child obesity.
On the other hand
, it's
parents
' job to parent their kids from getting fat.
For instance
, many schools ask
parents
 to prepare lunch for their kids. It's common that some
parents
 will put some snacks,
such
 as chips, in their children's lunch boxes to save some time. As a consequence, children will gain weight by consuming snacks regularly unquestionably. In conclusion,
parents
 and the
government
 should work together to prevent kids from getting fat.

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
