Differences between nations have been alarmingly becoming less obvious
due to
 the fact that more
people
 follow the same
media
. I am convinced that the cons of
this
 trend outweigh the pros as will be explained in
this
 essay. The modern world, in which we are currently living, has changed a lot and brought technology to let
people
 around the world connect with each other. The internet allows them to access
media

 and computers, resulting in them following some
trends
 that are popular overseas. These
trends
 include fashions and cultures, which change
people

As a result

. The advantage of
that is
 more income to the countries hosting the trend,
as well as
 being popular.
However
,
this
 leads to conventional traditions and cultures being overshadowed. The primitive
trends
 in a country are less significant since all attentions are on the famous
instead
.
Moreover
,
this
 especially occurs in young generations as they typically find new stuff from

, making countries look more and more similar. Ultimately, the young will not see the importance of traditional cultures and ignore them completely. In my opinion,

 to consume, and as some of them emerge in our country, it is a positive trend;
however

 is greater, causing countries to be the same.
To conclude

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
