rapid and intensive weight gain.
Moreover
, kids really enjoy eating sweets
such
 as jelly candies, ice-creams and chocolate bars.
Furthermore
,

 food in large quantities causes weight gain and skin problems all over the body.
On the other hand
, the government should provide extra curriculum classes to broaden the knowledge of ingredients and nutritional value of the meals.

 understanding connected with fitness will definitely reduce obesity among

. What is more, PE classes should be more intensive and conducted in a fun

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
