Some people think news has no connection to people’s lives. Therefore, it is a waste of time to read the newspaper and watch television news programs. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

Many people argue that they fail to find any relevance to their own
lives
of

the

they see on TV or read in the newspaper. While I accept that
this

this

news
has no link to people’s

. On the one hand, some people accept that their own individual

are not influenced by events that take place all over the world.
This
may be true if they consider only
such

items as the

of celebrities, the results of football matches or the latest fashions. They claim that
this
attitude does not mean they are set in their ways or behind the times. They

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
