From dawn of the time, humans had to
work
 to provide their life necessities. In today’s climate, the issue of being an employee has become a controversial minefield.
While
 it is rational to accept that working in a company can sometimes have a negative effect, it seems that they are more likely to bring benefits. The main justification why being an employee is not fruitful is the fact that it does not have job security. In case of inflation or financial recession, companies can make them redundant easily.
Therefore
, workers cannot have a long plan for their lives since they may become jobless at any time. Another drawback is that in some companies employees have to
work
 at unsociable hours.
In other words
, they should
work
 nocturnally which can bring numerous serious health mental, and physical problems.
For example
, people who
work
 for a long time during the night are more vulnerable to be depressed.
On the other hand
, it could be argued that these disadvantages are not comparable to its merits. The first plus point is that they have financial security in the youth and retirement. If you
work
 as a self-employed, your income would vary

 the government’s responsibility to support you. The next main benefit is that employees have less responsibility than self-contractors.
This
 can lead to having a calm mind and,

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
