I will discuss the cons of playing

with relevant examples.
First
and foremost,
video
games
are a great way of entertainment.
However
, addiction to that causes health issues

as diabetes, obesity, stress and depression.

Moreover
,
children
who spend the majority of the day playing
games
feel lonely as they have less or no communication with friends and family and they would not have any friends to express their feelings or to make memorable experiences.
Thus

Secondly
,

also
affect academics negatively. When
children
pay more attention to
games
, their attention to

plummets. Staying late at night will make
children
exhaust to focus on
studies
and they will not have enough time to complete their homework.
As a result
, their grades will be lower and lose interest in their
studies
over time. To exemplify, after the holidays the young schoolers will be very lazy to attend school as they were drifted away from education for a long time. In conclusion, even though playing

is a mode of entertainment it brings a lot of negativities into
children

Therefore

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
