Examples, anecdotes and analogies

What you'll learn

• Choose the right kind of support for a point: a specific example, a hypothetical example, a brief anecdote, an analogy or a counter-example
• Keep an anecdote short and link it back to the question so that it supports, rather than replaces, your answer
• Build clear analogies with It's a bit like…, Think of it as…, In the same way that…
• Use a counter-example to challenge an overgeneralisation
