Original practice material · Draft: editorial review pending
Try it step by step
- State the idea you want the example to support.
- Choose a small event with a person, action and outcome.
- Explain in one sentence how the event supports your point.
Example to adapt
- My neighbours are helpful. Last week one collected a parcel while I was away, so I did not miss the delivery.
Self-check
- Did I answer the actual question?
- Did I include a reason, detail or example where appropriate?
- What one thing will I try differently next time?
