Some people think that schools should reward students who show the best academic results, while others believe that it is more important to reward students who show improvements.

Students
are hard-working folks who try their best to improve themselves, so it is only reasonable that they are rewarded for their efforts.
However

debatable. Whether they should spend their resources on
students
that are making progress or
students
that have actually achieved something, we are going to discuss both views and give a firm opinion about

Furthermore
, the number of

only a few actually benefit from

. Only achievers will be lifted, supported and loved, and the vast majority will sink into the deep sea of despair.
This
strategy
clarifies the dark side of most school systems: you are only praised when you are good, but no one cares if you try your best to improve without achievements. The other
strategy
,
however
, is more logical. We define “strivers” as someone who devotes themselves to

This

This

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
