 as computers and phones can be seen as a negative thing which creates detrimental effects on their writing and reading skills. I am aligned with

 discusses the reasons and causes for said trend.
To begin

as a result
 of technological development younger spent more of their productive time with computers and phones, and most of them have built rapport with those devices
instead
 of with humans.
This
 has created many psychological issues
such
 as loneliness and depression as well. When comes to communication these folk tend to use short words rather than long sentences ,
for instance
, if you a friend cracks a joke they say "lol"
instead
 of giving their comment to a person's face directly or else writing
that is
 so funny.
This
 typing in short has led them to forget their thinking ability and words. UK researchers have identified that there are 80% of the community struggle with building sentences and writing grammatically accurate sentences due to their over-reliance on mobile phones.

 change has made a significant impact on their thinking ability.

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
