Many people believe that
students
 must study full-time until they are 18 or above and it can be beneficial to a youngster. Others argue that teenagers should be allowed to choose their study pathway if they like. In
this
 essay, I will argue that young people should not be required to have full-time
education
 until they are at least 18 years old. First of all, full-time
education
 limits some
students
’ potential and possibilities. Since not all

 are good at studying theoretical knowledge and

Forcing them to learn that knowledge is wasting their precious time to gain working experience at an earlier age. They still have other interests and talents that can be developed outside of school.
By contrast

 fees can be an enormous financial burden for poverty. Some families have more than one child, if a full-time

 a large cost of studying occurs. More than that,

also
 for the poverty cannot afford the whole college fee, we should allow part-time

 to earn the tuition fees for themselves.

To improve task response, make sure to fully address all aspects of the question and provide a clear position in the introduction.
coherence cohesion
To improve coherence and cohesion, work on organizing the ideas more clearly, use transition words to connect the ideas, and consider the use of paragraphing to improve coherence.

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
