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

Teenagers should have regular exams at secondary school as this will prepare them better for life after living school. Do you agree or this agree.
Regular exams are an important feature of secondary education. However, there is contention over whether frequent exams prepare students for post-school life. I believe that teenagers should be given regular exams as this will provide useful practice before they go on to be assessed in university and also help develop a range of skills which are essential in the world of work.

Tourism is one of the fastest growing industries and contributes a great deal to economies around the world. however, the damage tourism can cause to local cultures and the environment is often ignored. To what extent do you agree or disagree?
Currently, tourism is a field that improving rapidly and bringing huge amounts of income to every country's budget. While, according to the majority's thoughts, people should concern about its adverse impacts on the culture and the environment of local areas as our priority. But I disagree with this issue because usually many tourists are attracted by specifically local customs and nature and are highly respectful towards them, as well as with the help of massive economical profits, any problem regarding this phenomenon can be solved quite easily.

There is a practice followed in Britain, wherein older people reside together at an old-age home, the question that arises here is who is responsible for paying for the facilities provided there?
