Nowadays,
people
 are informed about the effect of healthy and unhealthy lifestyles. Despite scientists pointing out the
activities
 which can benefit health, a vast amount of
people
 still sustain doing
activities
 that are unhealthy. Generally, there are a multitude of causes for
this
 kind of occasion.
Firstly
,
this
 may be
due to
 bad habits. If
people
 continue doing harmful
activities
 for a long time, it is hard for them to get rid of the bad customs. Many

, and
therefore
, even if they realize how bad it is for their bodies, they still can not give up doing these things.
Moreover
, some individuals can not avoid doing some unhealthy
activities
due to
 their job category.
This
 can be exemplified by individuals like doctors and white-collar workers. Most of them have to stay up late in order to finish their work, especially doctors, they need to continue working until there are no more patients come.
On the other hand
, these factors can be solved by following solutions.
First,
the government must increase citizens’ awareness of the importance of keeping a healthy body.
This
 can be done through giving public speaking or giving out leaflets. As long as
people
 understand the cherish of staying healthy, they will do their best to maintain it.
Additionally
, the government should increase the tax on producing demerit goods, the price of demerit goods will increase as the tax on making

 becomes higher,
therefore
, it will be more expensive for
people
 to purchase them, so fewer demerit goods will be bought. In conclusion, I believe that in the future, more
people
 will choose to live in a healthy way and as technology and medical treatments developed, human life expectancy will be much longer.

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
