Advertising is the easiest way to sell your
products
Use synonyms
. Some
people
Use synonyms
believe that advertising does a good job of convincing consumers,
while
Linking Words
others argue that we don’t need advertisements anymore. In my opinion,
people
Use synonyms
will keep advertising in the future. On the one hand,
people
Use synonyms
care about money, but advertising
products
Use synonyms
in newspapers or magazines cost them a lot of budgets.
For example
Linking Words
, my brother owned a stationery
shop
Use synonyms
, and he wanted to market his
shop
Use synonyms
to the local community.
Therefore
Linking Words
, he advertised through the newspaper and magazine for fifty thousand dollars per month.
Also
Linking Words
, he posted full-page illustrations in the newspaper and published introduction articles in the magazine.
However
Linking Words
,
this
Linking Words
effort attracted a few
people
Use synonyms
to appreciate his store. In the end, only very few
people
Use synonyms
came to his
shop
Use synonyms
due to
Linking Words
those advertisements and he lost a lot of money.
On the other hand
Linking Words
,
people
Use synonyms
emphasize their social networks, and
people
Use synonyms
usually tend to purchase the same item with their friends. To be more specific, one day I saw a commercial post of a green
coat
Use synonyms
on Instagram. When I hung out with my friend Emma I saw her wearing a beautiful green
coat
Use synonyms
, which was the same brand I saw yesterday on Instagram. I was attracted by the colour and texture of her
coat
Use synonyms
and I want to have similar clothes with my friend.
Therefore
Linking Words
, I ordered a
coat
Use synonyms
in a different size and shape from that online
shop
Use synonyms
.
Finally
Linking Words
, that
shop
Use synonyms
sells another cloth to a new customer successfully. I agree with
this
Linking Words
opinion because I often purchase
products
Use synonyms
in before mentioned situation. I might not need a
coat
Use synonyms
my desire was aroused by my friend. In conclusion,
while
Linking Words
advertising costs
people
Use synonyms
a lot of money, and may not have a strong result, I still believe that
people
Use synonyms
are easily attracted by advertisements, and led them to buy
products

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
