Nowadays, state-of-the-art
technology
 is changing the way of our
life
 dramatically, and it is undeniable that
this
 is essential for our lives.
Although
 some people argue that it hurts the environment and innovation should slow down, I argue that it lifts our
life
 up drastically.
Firstly
, the internet helped the public with mental
health
. The more globalization accelerated, the more it became common to live and work abroad, and to have faraway friends and family. Just about a decade ago, there was no stable method and bandwidth to make an international video call.
However
 in the current era, no matter the time difference, there is no issue to make an international call thanks to the advanced network. If there was no
such
 method invented, we would have never had a way to be connected with distanced folk.
Secondly
,
technology
 improved our physical
health
. The advancement of the medical industry is fascinating.
For instance
, many tools are invented to monitor body conditions
such
 as heart rate and blood pressure, and it alerts the owner of it and even her relatives if there is any abnormal condition detected. With
this
 tool, early detection of
health
 issues is possible and it genuinely saves a lot of people.
Further
, the research from the University of Tokyo stated that advanced
technology
 is the dominant reason for long
life
,
in other words
, in those countries where high-tech is accommodated, nations tend to live longer in general. Overall, thanks to cutting-edge technologies, we can stay connected with friends and family which improved our mental well-being
,

 and can reduce the risk of serious
health
 issues through early detection which contributed to making people's healthy
life
. For these reasons, I completely agree that
technology
 improved our lives mentally and physically.

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
