In most countries,

 and adults tell

then
 it will become easier for them to achieve any desired goals.
This
 message can motivate them and encourage them to achieve their dreams.

parents
 always tell their
children
 they can achieve their desire and wants only if they give their 100% effort.
This
 is right because
this
 helps them to be motivated when they follow their passion.
For example
, when I was a kid I love to watch cricket matches but I was afraid to play because I felt that when I do batting. I am not capable of facing baller. I told my
parents
 about
this
 fear and they help me out. I remember they said that there is nothing in the world you cannot face. You have to

On the other hand

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
