  19. Examples are helpful when learning new material. Here’s an example of how examples help; when I was an undergrad student, one of my teachers taught a cognitive course.

I think it’s important that young women and girls have a positive role model in their lives and out of all the things I’ve ever wanted to be in my life, this thing has stuck with me for years.

    “advertising provides a good example of an industry where dreams have faded

    2 a person or thing regarded in terms of their fitness to be imitated:

    “Make an example of him,” Twinkle said.

  30. An example of an example is this example. Once upon a time there was a fish called bob. He was exemplary of the usual salmon-like fish which inhabit rivers.
