What is the function of illustration
In my opinion, illustration has three main functions in a composition.
First, make some abstract concept easier to be understood. In our composition, sometimes we have to mention some abstract concept which is difficult to understand. In this case, one or two examples can make the abstract concept more concrete and help readers to understand it.
Second, make the essay we wrote has a strong personal style. All of us will inevitably have some same views and opinions as others, so how can we make our essay more personal and different from others? The easiest way is to use examples in relation with our own experience.
Third, enrich the content of the composition. Sometimes, we will find it difficult to develop our essay. In this case, just use some examples to make your essay more rich and color.

I disagree with Andrey. "Sometimes" can be used with that type of future tense. Also, note that I tried not to interfere with what you were trying to say too much so the wording isn't changed drastically.

-------------------------------------
The first sentence in the third paragraph confounded me. The thought that the essay should have "a strong personal style" is clear so this sentence just should be rephrased, I think.
We can use the word "sometimes" only when we speak about the events that happened or happen in the past or the present, respectively. We can't know with what frequency something would happen in the future. Would it happen "sometimes" or "often". So the correct variant is "Sometimes, we find it ..."
