In today's society, the quality of human interaction has improved because of advanced technologies like smartphones.
However
, it is often said that bullying is one of the big problems that many schools have been facing. In
this
writing, the reasons for
this
and possible solutions will be discussed.
First
, bullying could happen in a narrow range of communities. What is more, in a small group, introverted
students
tend to be targeted because they might not fight back against bullies so bullies find it easier to make fun of those
students
. Another reason is that bullies are generally more powerful than other
students
.
This
means that they would feel that they can do anything with their power. To
further
elaborate, being strong could encourage them to fight and argue because they know that they can defeat others if they are said bad words or complained. In the school environment, it is important for
teachers
to avoid bullying in the
first
place. Communicating with
students
,
for instance
, can let
teachers
know the feelings of
students
, which can lead to deeper understanding between
students
and
teachers
.
Additionally
,
teachers
have to teach them how brutal bullying is. In fact, many schools in Japan have been making
students
aware of the number of suicide because of bullying by showing a video and lecturing.
Therefore
, that can eventually discourage
students
to bully. In conclusion, being introverted and stronger
students
are just the tip of the ice burg in problems of bullying. There are many ways to prevent
students
from bullying
such
as communicating with
students
and educating them by showing what bullying can cause at the end of the day.

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.

  • for example
  • for instance
  • to illustrate this
  • to give a clear example
  • such as
  • namely
