people
are living longer. In fact, we can notice that there are more old
people
than in the past.
This
is
due to
several reasons,
such
as a better quality of
life
with more medicine for several illnesses, a big variety of food and a good geo-politic situation. To commence with, we must consider that science is improving every day, so now we can live easier than in the past years. The advent of technology helps us in the everyday

, so finding a solution for a headache is no anymore a big deal.

, today, fortunately, is not difficult to try to heal some specific kinds of diseases,
such
as smallpox and AIDS. In fact, face the first one, was discovered the vaccine,
while
for the
second
one, even if we are not able to have a final solution to stop the illness forever, we know what to do, and
people
can live a normal
life
.

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
