Band 8

Some people say that a person's success is as a result of the way he has been brought up by his parents. Do you agree or disagree?

#people #person #success #parents
It is a matter of contention whether or not the success of an individual is influenced by the upbringing of the
person
. I completely agree with
this
.
To begin
 with, home forms the basic unit of
this
 world. A
person
 learns to do a lot of things
such
 as their personal and social interaction from home. They watch and learn how their
parents
 relate to each other and to their siblings and begin to adopt the learned behaviour. To affirm
this
, no wonder there's a saying like father like son. In view of
this
, if a child gets to become aware of the admirable profession of either parent, he or she may love to make that achievement as an adult.To illustrate
this
, I have grown to witness all the children of my favorite lecturer Dr Aboah become medical doctors as a way of honouring their father and his passionate and committed attitude toward caring for the sick.
Therefore
, it is important for
parents
 to be made aware of
this
.
On the other hand
, some children on the streets who have irresponsible
parents
 have very limited dreams and grow up to do something not influential. Others ,
however
, had big aspirations which were dimmed by their
parents
' challenges in propelling them. Statistics of Ghana have it that the majority of wayward individuals emanated from a lack of proper parenting.
This
 makes it clear that the way a
person
 is raised influences who they become in the future.
To sum up
, I agree with the notion that parental guidance affects who a
person
 becomes.

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
