With the revolution in all aspects of our

education

has barely changed since the 19th century,especially in developing countries.Some people rightly advocate the importance of incorporating

practical life skills along with learning and memorizing facts with which I would strongly agree as the modern

.
To begin
Linking Words
with,the pedagogy has almost been the same for a very long and our way of teaching has been learning facts rather than practising real-life skills.
This
Linking Words
has been the reason why some students in every class prioritize merely memorizing stuff in order to succeed in their exams which they might do because of our orthodox pedagogy and examination criteria but rarely succeed in their practical life.I understand that learning is

an important aspect of

as one would only be able to understand the importance of something and its history through

theoretical knowledge.
Nevertheless

,maintaining a healthy ratio between theoretical and practical knowledge is important.

are changing day by day and it demands much more practical skills than it did previously.

if it is not applied practically.
Thirdly

, the human mind is designed to remember the

that are frequently practised.That's why we tend to remember

that we

rather than what we read in books years back.
For instance

,people who leave their high school in order to pursue some other career
such

as musicians and artists merely remember
things

Thus

,we remember

,in order to prepare youth for the future,we must incorporate the

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
