#people #test #five #years
In some countries,
people
 need to redo their driving
test
 every five years. Some
people
 argue that retaking
this
test
 is necessary as
people
 will continue to learn and remember
about

rules
 and regulations.
However
, others stated that retaking the driving tests every certain time might be

disadvantages
 as
people
 need to take permission from work or school on the task that they have already mastered. There are a few benefits of retaking the driving
test
. First of all, it could be a method for drivers to learn and remember about
traffic
rules
 and regulations. By retaking
this
test
, we hope that all
people
 will always obey
traffic
rules
,
hence
 reducing the number of
traffic
 accidents.
Furthermore
, ageing or diseases can cause a reduction in physical and mental functions.
Therefore
, it is advisable for
people
 to renew their driving permits and retake driving tests every five years as it could prevent unfit drivers to have a driving licence.
On the other hand
, the opponents state that redoing
this
test
 every five years or so could be a total waste of time. Many studies have suggested that

 humans will never lose the physical ability that they have already mastered. These may include driving a car or playing a certain type of sport.
For example
, a patient suffering from amnesia will not lose his/her ability to drive if they have acquired
this
 skill before.
Furthermore
, in Indonesia
for example
, taking a driving
test
 may take a whole day. Employees need to take a leave or get permission from their office or school for attending
this
test
.
Hence
, it has economic and educational implications. In conclusion,
Although
 it may be true that retaking the driving
test
 may cause economic loss, I believe that the benefits of redoing the
test
 outweigh the drawbacks as
people
 will be remained about
traffic
rules
 and
thus
, may help reduce road
traffic
 accidents

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
