Children are experiencing increasing educational, social and commercial pressures. What are the causes? What measures do you think can be taken to reduce them?

#children #pressures #measures
Children
 today have many higher pressures from education, social and commercial. In my opinion, there are many reasons for
this
 problem, and solutions should be given to combat these problems.
First
 of all, the main
pressure
 is the family's expectations. Parents place too many expectations on their
children
, wanting their
children
 to have a better life in the future, so they force their
children
 to study a
lot
 of subjects to improve their knowledge and quickly achieve many high achievements
for instance
. In school,
children
also
 have to learn a
lot
 of subjects that they don't like, which makes them feel tired and bored when they have to go to school.
Besides
, society is
also
 one of the reasons why
people
 are under heavy
pressure
 in work,
businesses
 will prioritize recruiting
people
 with good academic records at prestigious universities because they believe that graduates from those schools will bring more benefits to their company.
This
 will put a
lot
 of
pressure
 on many
people
.
However
, there are some measures that can be taken to solve the problem. The government can tailor study programs more suitable for students to ease the academic burden on students. Parents should not put too much expectation on their
children
 because that will
also
 inadvertently create great
pressure
 on the child, making them feel uninterested in anything. So give
children
 the right to decide and respect what the child says and does.
Furthermore
,
businesses
 should create equal employment opportunities for everyone, so that everyone has the confidence to express themselves and help
businesses
 thrive. In conclusion, the expectations of education, society and commercials are the main causes of
people
 being under a
lot
 of
pressure
.
This
 urges both governments and
businesses
 to take immediate action to improve the situation.

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
