#children #teenagers #people
Nowadays, youths are not healthy and have excessive weight
due to
 a lot of factors
such
 as diet, mental issues, detached from social activities etc. In
this
 essay, I will be outlining the probable causes and bring ideas to help aid the problem.
To begin
 with, one of the key factors to obesity is having food nutritionally unbalanced.
For example
, children having junk food are more prone to put on weight and health issues.
Moreover
,
due to
 the development in technologies, they get access to video games pretty easily which causes them to sit in one place and prevents them to get involved in outdoor sports
such
 as cycling, swimming, cricket etc. These indoor activities are causing problems for their mental and physical development.
For instance
, a recent survey conducted in the USA has proven adolescents involved in indoor games have a high risk of heart disease and diabetes. There are a lot of aspects that can be followed to mitigate
this
 modern hinder.
Firstly
, parents should not the kids for outside food rather they can encourage them to eat at home by introducing delicious and healthy meals.
Secondly
, working out is essential for a good physique.
Therefore
, guardians should do exercises in order to give support to the minors.
Thirdly
, government and schools should do sports events which will influence the youths to participate. To wrap up, awareness needs to come from everybody to resolve the issue as
this
 concerns our future generation.

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
