These days, technology has been developing really soon, but we do not know how we must use it with less damage;
as a result
, we can see
children
 all over the world who have less
activity
time
, but spend a
lot
 of
time
 on
TV
.
For example
, a British child watches television approximately 20 hours a week and indulges in 7 hours of physical
activity
. In
this
 essay, we will discuss the main problems associated with
this
 epidemic and propose some possible solutions to avoid them. Unfortunately, spending a
lot
 of
time
 watching
TV
 is really popular among kids, and in my country
children
 spend nearly 24 hours a week another issue has some reasons namely,
parents
 do not spend
time
 with
children
;
moreover
,
children
 choose comfortable ways for free
time
.
Firstly
, currently, most of the
parents
 work outside, and they do not have a
lot
 of
time
 for
children
's activities
such
 as going park, walking, sailing, and other activities.
Also
, their preferences are
children
 without
activity
, for they are really tired.
Secondly
, kids like other people prefer to spend leisure
time
 with less
activity
;
hence
,
TV
 programs are the best selection for
children
instead
 of exercise which needs a
lot
 of energy. For
this
 matter schools should change these ways of life.
In addition
, governments ought to increase
parents
’ income and get them more spare
time
.
Initially
, when teachers in school get students' plans for the
time
 after institute their
parents
 must check these things;
furthermore
, when students do the schedule win a prize;
then
 after many
time
children
 spend less
time
 on
TV
.
Second,
if a family have not only enough money but
also
 a
lot
 of free
time
 for their
children
;
therefore
, they spend a
lot
 of
time
 controlling their
children
's activities. In conclusion,
this
 question is a result of
parents
' behaviour and surroundings, yet when teachers teach a good lifestyle in school and
parents
 take care of
children
 we can alter
this
 position to a nice situation.

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
