, and many challenging tasks are now done through

.
Although
 there are a few drawbacks of the growing usage of
machines
. I believe the advantages certainly outweigh them. The first benefit of
automation
 is that it saves human lives. There are many dangerous jobs like mining, bomb disposal,

 have made human involvement redundant.
For instance
, in Fukushima robots were employed and are still being used to clean the nuclear fusion disaster.
Similarly
, in health care, many complex surgeries have been made possible by robotics, saving precious human lives.
Secondly
,
automation
 saves time enabling people to enjoy and relax.
For instance
, many monotonous and repetitive works like washing cleaning etcetera can be done by

 saving people time, which they can spend with friends or family or on their hobbies.

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
