People
 enjoy every phase of their
life
 in their own way and every single stage of it has something enjoyable and new to offer.
However
, when it comes to the happiest period of
life
, opinions may be split. It is believed by many that teen
years
 are filled with more glee, while many
people
 are happier in their adulthood.
Although
 both stages have different graces, I, personally, think that a person enjoys his
life
 during the early

. For a start, happiness is the freedom of whatever a person wants to do and in adulthood,
people
 are independent in various ways.

However
, the teenage phase, for many, is the golden period. Juveniles do not need to worry about responsibilities, jobs, and so forth. They,
for instance
, do not have to earn a living.
In addition
, they can spend more quality time with peers and do things adults would not dare. Grown-ups,
on the other hand
, are laden with despair by individualism, weakening of social ties, economic recession and so on. To conclude, the early stage is the golden time of a person’s
life
. To my way of thinking,

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
