Nowadays families are not as close as they used to be. What do you think are the causes of this? What can be done to make families closer?

#families
Some
people
 believe that family is the most precious in their life and must keep in contact to know the condition of each other.
However
, there is much discussion over recent decades about families less close than they were in the past. In
this
 following essay, I would like to discuss the reason for
this
 phenomenon and what
people
 should do to solve it.
To begin
 with, the major reasons are
people
 have busy
work
 and must leave their hometown to the big city. Most
people
 have to
work
 until late and in some cases their mother and father
work
 as well,
as a result
, they do not have quality
time
 to spend together as they did before. Another reason
this
 issue could occur is youngsters, both a student and

, children become emotionally detached from their parents. In order to solve these issues, social media platforms, in some ways can tackle the problems, and individuals can
use
 their day off as the best
time
 to spend together.
First
, social media presence
such
 as Whatsapp, Twitter, or Instagram can bring new ways to communicate.
For example
, some of my parents’ friends
work
 as pilots or sailors who must leave their homes for a long
time
, and they
use
 video calls via Whatsapp

daily to update each other.
Secondly
,
people
 can spare
time
 on weekends or holidays to intimate back. If they do not have
time
 after
work
, it is an excellent way to
use
 the day off.
For instance
, they can travel around the city, watch movies in local cinema, and try new restaurants in the city. To conclude, it is clear that a busy modern lifestyle and the more attractive opportunities outside the hometown can lead families to become estranged.
Therefore
,
people
 can
use
 social media to discuss and talk just like before and spend their day off in some communal activities.

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
