#countries #student #concentration #classroom
Research from many parts of the world has shown that student’s capability to
focus
 has significantly dropped. The possible causes behind
this
 issue will be discussed in the following paragraph
along with
 the finest solution.
Firstly
, the primary reason is consuming short-term video as a form of entertainment which has been popular in the
last
 5 years.
This
 habit will reduce children's concentration in the long term. Short-term videos only require a short amount of
focus
.
According to
 BBC News, 80% of kids in Indonesia who consume
this
 as their main entertainment media, aren’t trained to
focus
 over a long period of time.
Secondly
, it is mainly supported by the method of the
parents
 to amuse their misbehaved kids by giving electronic gadgets to them.
Moreover
,
this
 method might detriment their brain and even worse, they will be addicted to the gadgets.
However
,
this
 issue could be tackled by the role of their
parents
. The advancement of technology might be beneficial to society and might
also
 be a danger for them if they do not use it properly. In
this
 case,
parents
 should limit the use of cell phones for their kids to prevent them from addiction to phones. Another way is by taking them to the park daily as children are very stimulated by the environment, they could learn to
focus
 on their surroundings in a healthy amount of time. In conclusion, the decrease in
focus
 on children is mainly caused by technology,
however
,
this
 bad habit can be solved by the role of
parents
 to restrict the use of phones excessively.

Task Achievement
Make sure each paragraph has a clear central idea that is expanded upon with explanations, evidence, and examples. Providing more specific, real-world examples, instead of just statistics, can also strengthen your arguments.
Coherence and Cohesion
Increase complexity in your sentence structure and use a range of linking words to better connect ideas together. Additionally, ensure that paragraphs flow smoothly with each other and clearly relate back to the thesis statement.

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
