Is teaching people over 65 to use computers the best way to spend government money? To what extent do you agree?

#people #computers #government #money
It is widely thought that providing
government
 funds to use computers for elderly residents is the best way to teach them. I completely disagree with
this
 argument and think that the national
budget
 should be allocated to important and urgent matters and improvements in
children
's
education
.
Firstly
, I believe that there are a number of frontline requirements that should be funded by the national
budget
 rather than funds for over 65

In addition
 to that, drain off of the national
budget
 for un urgent needs residents will receive poor health care,
education
 and services. As an example, in Venezuela, the

Thus

Secondly
, the national allocations should be expenses for the development of the educational system for

Moreover
,
children

 is the backbone of the country because they are equipped with good skills and knowledge that will contribute to the development of different aspects.
Also
, if older people learn computer skills they are capable of

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
