1. after the example, need to give a result of the example, like: after the first example, we may say:

....I got a bad grade because of the computer.

2. the second example is somehow duplicated to the topic sentence. we may follow our patterns:

reason + why reason + result of the reason

talk like this:
second, some students do not own computers.(reason)
Computers are expensive and some students are from families that don't have good financial situations.(why reason)
It may give burdens for those families, and students without computers may get frustrated in the classes. (result of the reason)

do you think I have problem

do you think I have problem with vocabularies?? bcuz I know the ones you used in the example,but simply they do not come up to my mind e while I am speaking and I end up using simple ones .. what are your recommendation to improve ?? that I can remember those

You don't have any vocabulary

You don't have any vocabulary issues. Your only problem is that you followed a simple pattern:

reason + example

There are two solutions for you to improve:

1. simply extend the pattern to:
reason + why reason + result of the reason

The examples can be inside why reason + result of the reason

what are the advantages to extend the pattern?

the answer is that you can talk more and it can reach different areas. while if you just give one example, the example may duplicate the topic sentence, and examiners can easily figure out you are repeating something and give you a low mark.

2. give three reasons. by this way you are not going to give duplicated content. but sometimes it is harder to reach three reasons than two reasons in a short time. so if three reasons are not problems for you, you are encouraged to do it.
