High job demands, stress and sense of commitment are among the main reasons people go to work when they are ill. This way they accomplish important tasks, but may infect others or get some serious health problems themselves. In your opinion should people go to work if they are sick? Support your point of view with relevant examples from your knowledge or experienc

We live in a fast paced society  and people do not want to slow down even when they are sick. In the  quest to meet deadlines and accomplish important tasks

employees often go to
work
 when they are sick not caring about their health or that of others around them. I believe
this
act is wrong and employees should not be allowed to come to
work
when they are sick as
such
sickness
can be highly contagious and the employee will not function efficiently.
Firstly
, a sick
person
 should not come to
work
because their
sickness
might be highly contagious.
For instance
, if  a
person
that has flu comes to the office, he/she can infect someone else as
this
is highly contagious. It is advisable for a sick
person
to stay at home, use his drugs and get better so as not to infect others with his diseases.
Also
, If the
person
comes to the office, his condition might worsen and in the quest of accomplishing his task he will create more harm to himself than

as his brain will be disturbed.
Furthermore
, sick people shouldn’t come to
work
as the
sickness
might stay longer. Most times, people fall ill due to stress and lack of rest. So

if a sick
person
who should be resting comes to
work
, he might worsen his situation and his
sickness
might stay longer. It is advisable that a sick
person
should be well rested so he can recover quickly and once he is back on his feet, he will be able to function perfectly, all tasks will be accomplished and deadlines met. Some people might say that the sick
person
ought to come to
work
in order to perform all the

tasks
expected of him.
However
, it should be noted that
such
person
 won’t function effectively as he isn’t in his right frame of mind and his brain is muddled.
For instance

work
that he would ordinarily finish in 30 mins will take him maybe 1 hour to complete.

work, but
at a slow pace thereby making him inefficient. In conclusion, people shouldn’t go to
work
when they are sick and alternatives can help perform the required task. Companies should have sick leave as part of their benefits so staff can  take leave when they are indispensable. Companies should ensure that staff that

when they are sick due to their sense of commitment should be asked to go back home as “Health is Wealth”.

Support ideas with relevant, specific examples

Examples make your writing easier to understand by illustrating points more effectively.

Examples, if used properly, not only help you get higher marks for ‘Task Response’ but also for ‘Coherence’.

When giving examples it is best to put them after your main idea or topic sentence. They can be used in the middle of supporting sentences or they can be used to start a new sentence. There is no rule for where exactly to give examples in essays, logically they would come after your main idea/topic sentence or just after a supporting sentence.

Linking words for giving examples:

  • for example
  • for instance
  • to illustrate this
  • to give a clear example
  • such as
  • namely
  • to illustrate
  • take, for example
