Nowadays,
music
 has become an important part of daily life for many
people
 in different cultures. Whether or not it is true that
music
 does not have any negative impact on societies and individuals is a debatable issue. Some
people
 believe that the creation of
music
 has always been for positive purposes.
Initially
, when
people
 were still illiterate,
music
 was created to record history which was passed on from generation to generation. Since
then
,
music
 has continued to be used in many different ways. In the modern era,
music
 enhances the learning process and helps students memorize their lessons. In the entertainment world,
music
 is actually a source of income. Some musicians
also
 use
music
 to deliver messages about social and environmental issues
such
 as Michael Jackson’s Heal the World song. Even depressing songs that contain swear and negative words are considered a way of expressing feelings in a safe way, compared to fighting with other
people
 or committing suicide. There has been no evidence of anybody making
music
 for negative purposes. Owing to these reasons, I am
also
 convinced that
music
 has no negative side.
However
, others argue that the innovations of technological devices to make
music
 sound better and the wide use of
music
have

 led to the emergence of some problems related to
music
.
For instance
, many

This
 is seen as a form of noise pollution, which disturbs other

 damage the inner ears in the long run.
In addition

 that are quite provocative to have encouraged negative

 among young

However

 can help to eliminate these negative sides of
music
. In summary,
while
 I believe that
music
 can have a negative influence on
people
 as individuals and societies, I still think that
music
 is never created to have
this
 effect on both.
Moreover
, there are ways that can be used to minimize the negative impact of
music
.

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
