, whereas other people think it comes at most when they can enjoy it as an adult at different phases of their

This
 essay will
first
 put light on both concepts and
then
 will state my point of view regarding
this
 matter. In
childhood
, a boy or girl sees everything in a simple manner and finds contentment even in small points.
For example
, even a balloon or a
car
 can make a child ecstatic which adults can never understand. For many children going to the park is a matter of

 and they enjoy

On the contrary
, some people opine that the true feelings of
joy
 come in adulthood when they can fully understand the meaning of
this
 feeling. For an instance, purchasing own home or
car
, getting married to a loved one, having offspring or achieving a milestone in professional
life
 can bring fulfilment, resulting in
happiness
 in one’s
life
. These aspects of
life
 can bring more heart-warming feelings than at the time of
childhood
. In my opinion, we can enjoy the feelings of
happiness
 in later phases of our
life
 because we can understand the meaning of that

 in our adulthood rather

In addition
, we can work for the desired
happiness
 to make it possible which we can never be able to do at a young age.
For instance
, we could have cried for that

 or balloon in our
childhood
, but the decision of purchasing it for us was entirely dependent on our parents.
However
, as an

 which can make us ultimate ecstatic. To finish up my thought, I would like to say that
happiness
 is an abstract feeling which can be found in various stages for different people. It depends on a person how they perceive the feeling at the different phases of their
life

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
