Some people think children have the freedom to make mistakes, while other people believe that adults should prevent children from making mistakes. Discuss both sides and give your opinion.

One

side of the

there are people who argue that

. The main reason for believing
this
is that the cost of

On the other hand
, the opposite argument is that adults should prevent

mistakes
. For
one
thing,
mistakes
made during childhood can sometimes lead to dangerous or long-term negative consequences. To illustrate, if a child develops bad habits or engages in risky

, these could persist into adulthood, potentially causing more harm in the future. For another, the fact that

also
deserves our attention.
In other words
, parents are in a better position to foresee potential risks and guide their

to avoid costly

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
