some children spend hours every day on their smartphones. Why is this the case? Do you think this is a positive or a negative development?

#children #hours #smartphones #case #development
At present, spending more time on
smartphones
 is increasing among certain demographics of
children
. Their parents claim that over-usage of mobile leads to poor concentration and health issues as
such
 are preventable.
However
, arising issues seem to continuously loom over these prospects, which will be discussed below, and I will offer my views.
To begin
 with, in a sophisticated world, more
children
 are using
smartphones
 all day.
Therefore
, these habits lead to poor concentration at school and college.
For instance
, if a student plays video games without adequate sleep, they can not focus on their studies.
Moreover
, if the
children
 watch a mobile phone every day, they can affected by health issues
such
 as visual disorders, depression and anxiety.
Overall
, parents should make a rule and be wary of their
children
.
On the other hand
,
children
 using
smartphones
 in adequate time leads to making a person knowledgeable
as well as
 knowing about the world clearly. These are some records, In India, one of the students, who studied at 6th standard innovated a new app using a mobile phone.
Thus
, he/she earns a money more than 2 lakhs.
Due to
 that, not only are his/her parents proud but
also
 the society becomes famous.
Consequently
, using a phone with necessary work leads a student smart and wealthy life.
To conclude
, despite the positives, poor concentration and unhealthy life trumps the pros in a milestone. In my opinion, nowadays,
smartphones
 are important to gain a piece of knowledge.
However
, it is not good to use it every day without studies.
Thus
 , their future will be destroyed.

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
