politicians
. Both views will be discussed, and I believe that the former view would be more convincing. On the one hand, the
media
 would have the
power
 which can handle
people
.
First
, these days, we tend not to be able to live without the mass
media
. Not only the amount of
media
 but
also
 the number of
people
 exposed to it is significantly increasing.
Therefore
, it results in

 in the

's influence.
For example
, we would face many kinds of advertisements. You might have some experience; you sing along to the song of the advertisement that you were exposed to repeatably.
Secondly
, most
people
 would have a belief which is without a little doubt.
For instance
, there would be so much information, which is not proven, but the public believes it with little doubt.
Such
 situations can prove the
power
 of mass
media
.
On the other hand
, the more
power
 the
politicians
 have, the more impact their talk can have.
Firstly
, all the
people
 must follow the politics which
politicians
 make because it can be compulsory.
Therefore
, as
people
 can be controlled by it, it would have an impact which cannot ignore. In the
second
 place,
such
 politics give
people
 a belief that it was proved through a series of complex processes. it results in
people
 believing it and it causes the
power
 of
politicians
, as well. In conclusion, the
media
 would have a very strong influence which can handle
people
although
 the impact of
politicians
 is
also
 strong.
Thus
, I suppose that the
media
 would be the biggest effect on
people
’s lives.

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
