as a result
, the ecosystem is facing a severe problem. At the same time,
however
, there is some uncertainty as to the causes of
this
 trend and its measures. In

 into the air and rivers which will pollute the atmosphere and water.
In addition
, as the technology of inventing and updating electronic devices is improving, digital items are updated more and more quickly which cost numerous natural resources.
On the other hand
, there are some steps that can be taken to resolve these problems. Advertisings which persuade customers to buy things should be under supervision.
Also
, governments can broadcast some videos against consumerism, raising the awareness of the public.
Furthermore
, laws and regulations on the manufacturing industry should be created to protect the environment. To summarize, there is no doubt that producing consumer items can bring serious ecological damages. At the same time,
however
, governments, manufacturers and advertising enterprises can take measures to reduce the influences. In the final analysis, one can conclude that governments bear the main responsibility to protect the environment in
this
 kind of production.

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
