The widespread use of the internet has brought many problems. What do you think are the main problems associated with the use of the web? What solutions can you suggest?

#internet #web
There have been many issues caused by the evergrowing use of the
Internet
. Clearly,
while
children
 are being exposed to unsuitable websites and addicted adults spend too much
time
 online, monitoring
children
 and restricting access to
sites
 beyond certain
time
 limits would help both groups maintain safety and good health. On the one hand, a problem with the
internet
 is the ease with which
children
 can access potentially dangerous
sites
.
For example
, pornography
sites
 are easily accessible to them because they can register with a site and claim to be an adult. There is no doubt that
this
 affects their thoughts and development, which has a negative impact on both
children
 and society. A solution, parents must closely monitor the activities of their
children
 and restrict their access to certain
sites
, which can now be done through various computer programs
such
 as net-nanny. If parents control the content their young consume online
while
 educating them about the dangers and the impact of potentially dangerous
sites
,
children
 have a chance of avoiding unhealthy information.
Secondly
, adults who are addicted spend too much
time
 on the
Internet
.They prefer to stay at home and immerse in a virtual world,
instead
 of going out to connect to real people or spend moments with their family.
As a result
, their social ability
as well as
 relationships with others may degenerate. To avoid that, some actions should be taken by families or online game companies to encourage them to engage in outdoor activities. In
this
 ,way they gain the opportunities to connect with the real world and share considerable
time
 with other people rather than socializing online or playing games. It is important to understand they have an addiction and to find solutions and accept help from others to avoid living in virtual reality. In conclusion, the development of the
Internet
 can lead to a number of problems that need to be addressed as a matter of urgency. The most burning issues,
children
’s safety and adult online addiction can be remedied with careful supervision and
time
 management to allow for healthy development and meaningful connections.

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
