ln the highly competitive era of today, marketers
such
 as restaurants and supermarkets have realized the marketing opportunity offered by departments and so are giving money to academics. Even though the administrators of faculty are using that money to raise funds for hall activities,
this
 is definitely disadvantageous for institute
children
.
To begin
 with, adverts for fast foods and their availability on institution premises would help to develop
children
's taste for
such
 foods.
This
 can increase problems like obesity, which in turn is the root cause of many other health issues among
children
. As it is,
children
 today have sedentary lifestyles, which makes it imperative that healthier food options should be made available to them. The welfare of students should be the top priority of the seminary and they should not fall on the bait of these companies for monetary benefits.

 commercial intrusions within the academic environment can promote consumerism.
For instance
, if a university promotes advertisements for any
products
 like toys or computer games from supermarkets through educational materials, billboards or academy television,
children
 would think that they have the approval of teachers and department authorities.
Consequently
, these vulnerable
children
 pester their parents to buy those
products
, which can upset the family budget.
This
 is a very vivid example of how the commercialization of halls can promote materialism in
children
. Supporters of
such
 practices claim that the money
such
 companies give for promoting their
products

 helps the financially-strapped institutes to buy library books or improve sports facilities. They claim that
children
 benefit from the additional resources and facilities that the department can afford due to
such
 funding. What they fail to see is that commercial intrusions are already present in
children
's lives these days and there is no scope for more. To sum up, it is definitely a negative development to use universities to advertise their
products
 as
this
 may lead to unhealthy eating and a materialistic attitude in
children

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.
