#universities #students #internet #resource #practice
A considerable number of university
students
 choose the
Internet
 as their main source of research in any educational practice of their academic journey. I believe that the advantages of
this
 issue outweigh the disadvantages. I feel
this
 way for the following reasons.
Firstly
, the
Internet
 is almost cheap and ever in access to all parts of the world,
therefore
,
students
 are comfortable using it as they can gain the knowledge, they acquire with only a few clicks or easily typing on their cell phone keyboards.
For example
, most
students
 have smartphones and laptop computers, and if they do not have one, they can use university computers, and apply search engines
such
 as GOOGLE which is highly time-saving compared to the traditional method of library search. Another point to consider is that online
data
 sources are up-to-date or at least
students
 can sort
data
 based on their released
data
 to ensure their novelty if needed.
For instance
, if we plan to have essays published after 2020, we can put ranges on the journal websites and

Furthermore
, any validated website reports the date

 which the information was released mostly on its top.
Although
 the
Internet
 can have some disadvantages as the major source for educational purposes. One serious problem about it can be the existence of invalid
data
 on some websites that are not monitored.
However
,
students
 can be accustomed to authorized resources and only refer to the validated ones. Another point is that

this
 way, if they have the possibility of printing the

 resources. In conclusion, I think the

 is the main source for university

task response
The essay does present both advantages and disadvantages but tends to be unidirectionally in favor of the advantages, which compromises impartiality and completeness in addressing the task.
coherence cohesion
The essay lacks clear topic sentences and progression of ideas, with several points introduced without proper explanation or development.
task response
Examples are generic and there is little data or specific evidence to support arguments, undermining the effectiveness of the examples provided.
coherence cohesion
Consider using a wider range of cohesive devices and vary sentence structures to improve readability and flow.
coherence cohesion
The essay would benefit from a clearer overall structure, with distinct and well-developed paragraphs for each main point.

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
