#students #attention #school
In
this
 day and age, a large number of
students
 are reported to find it difficult to stay focused or pay
attention
 at school.
This
 trend is attributed to many factors, and
this
 essay will outline some methods to address. There are lots of reasons that pupils can not maintain focus and
attention
 at school. First of all, most
students
 spend their
time
 learning academic subjects.
This
 is because they are given a lot of assignments for these subjects, which leads to an excessive amount of
time
 being allocated to these lessons.
As a result
, they do not have spare
time
 for recreational activities, causing teenagers to experience mental and physical fatigue.
Additionally
, with the development of technology, nearly all citizens have their own smartphones regardless of their age.
Due to
 the lack of strict rules relating to the devices in the classroom, many
students
 use their own phones to play games, watch TikTok, or chat during their school
time
. Fortunately, we
also
 have some proactive measures to tackle. The first method is that schools can decrease the amount of homework and allocate more
time
 to physical exercise for
students
.
This
 means the number of physical activities will increase in their timetable.
Consequently
,
this
 can help teenagers have spare
time
 to entertain and relieve stress, so they will maintain their
attention
 to their lessons better.
In addition
 to
this
, schools can impose strict rules on the use of digital devices during their class
time
.
Although
 some
students
 will intentionally use wise words, the principals can solve
this
 by tougher punishments
such
 as inviting their parents or suspension. In conclusion, many factors trigger the loss of concentration and
attention
such
 as lack of physical exercise and using digital devices, but we
also
 have some approaches to address
this
 situation.

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
