#plagiarism #world #countries
In
this
 current world, we are facing an academic problem that needs immediate solutions.
This
 problem happens when academic people copy someone's works and declare that those are their works.
This
 can have a bad impact on the education environment. To resolve
this
 issue, not only do we need to raise awar eness, but
also
 to strengthen the writing policy. The following paragraphs will examine the fundamental cause of the issue and propose a real-world solution.
Firstly
, copying other writers' scripts without responsibility is something bad.
This
 can relate to the lack of awareness of the plagiators.
For example
, one of my friends in middle school duplicated an article from a local magazine for her essay homework. After a long examination, the teacher concluded that my friend did not intend to do that. To tackle
this
 kind of issue, we should raise awareness about what is plagiarism and how it will harm the initial author.
Therefore
, adopting
this
 approach will allow us to mitigate the trouble.
Secondly
, plagiarism can be a result of a weak policy.
This
 means that there is no hard punishment for piracy. To address
this
 trouble, the law must be enforced by setting a series of punishments or making the plagiarist face a lawsuit.
For instance
, law enforcement and lawsuits in Finland have effectively proven to decrease rule violations in academic areas.
Thus
,
this
 strategy can tackle the problem. In conclusion, the act of piracy is something that needs immediate focus to respond. By raising acknowledgement of the plagiarism and doing law enforcement, we can address the trouble.

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
