Social-networking sites have evolved successfully and efficaciously in recent times. Numerous applications and software are created daily to improve the daily
life
 experience.
Therefore
, It is very critical to understand whether posting personal experiences online to keep track of the
events
 encountered in
life
 is a good decision or not. Some may argue that doing
such
 kind is beneficial in the long run, but others believe the contrary. From my perspective, I prefer not to acknowledge my personal experiences with these sites mainly for two reasons, which I shall delve into in the following essay. First and foremost, with the advent of cybercrime, many users are being constantly targeted daily, both personally and financially, by notorious hackers. They invade accounts which depict
life
events
, achievements, and personal
information
 of users and use
this
information
 to blackmail them.
This
 point can be better and
further
 supported by one of my intimate classmates, Jerry. He recently started a youtube channel illustrating his
life
 records, private accounts and
information
, income and so on. Hackers used
this
information
 and started targeting him. He eventually, involved the cybercrime division in
this
 issue and later, it was resolved. Keeping a record of
life
 experiences can be misused by various malicious
people
 in the wrong way. It is better to have
such
events
 recorded in personal journals or diaries.
Secondly
, by updating
such
information
, certain
people
 who follow the feed will inculcate a feeling of jealousy, which is a state of wanting to acquire what others have without any determination or hard work. Insult from
this
 kind of
people
 will bring us down emotionally, mentally, and physically. My own
life
 is a good example of
this
. When I uploaded pictures of my graduation from college, certain
people
 whom I talked to later on, gave me a feeling that they were not enthusiastic about the success I achieved. From that day, I decided to use
such
 websites in a wise manner. Some may claim that these websites provide a good memory recap of the
events
 encountered in
life
 because of the increase in followers following them and the positive feedback they might have received. In conclusion, I prefer, not to post any of my records on the cloud as
this
information
 may get dispersed to the wrong hands, creating havoc in our lives, and
also
 making our friends and relatives unhappy about the success in our lives.

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
