'Prevention is better than cure'. Researching and Treating diseases is too costly so it would be better to invest in preventive measures' To what extent do you agree?

The number of people getting sick has dramatically increased over time. The microorganisms have become stronger fighting the immune system of human beings.
Also
, the discovery of new microbes has created anxiety among doctors and scientists. It has become quite expensive to deal with
such
morbidities,
therefore
, we should focus more on preventive actions rather than treatment. In my opinion, I agree with the proverb, 'Prevention is better than cure' as it is better to stop something bad from happening rather than dealing with it after it has happened. The process of treating and studying an illness is not only
costly but

. If we take dentistry as an example, it takes a few dollars to get your teeth cleaned and avoid any caries, while it takes hundreds of dollars to get your tooth restored after it has occurred. Sometimes, it takes months to years to fight

after it has occurred while it only takes days to stop it.

for Tuberculosis involves taking four medicines for a period of 9 months, while it can be prevented with a single dose of vaccine.
However
, some defects cannot be prevented

as developmental and genetic, but research can be carried out to arrest these from causing any

damage.
Moreover
, curing

has a negative effect on the mental and social well being of the person.
For instance
, cancer patients going under chemotherapy usually lose their hair and undergo social trauma. According to one study, patients undergoing chemotherapeutic management for a

are more likely to face depression and eventually give up. To conclude, I would like to say that more and more research is needed on prevention programs rather than curing since it is not only less

saves a great deal of time and avoid any unfortunate incident.

Include an introduction and conclusion

A conclusion is essential for IELTS writing task 2. It is more important than most people realise. You will be penalised for missing a conclusion in your IELTS essay.

The easiest paragraph to write in an essay is the conclusion paragraph. This is because the paragraph mostly contains information that has already been presented in the essay – it is just the repetition of some information written in the introduction paragraph and supporting paragraphs.

The conclusion paragraph only has 3 sentences:

  • Summary
  • Restatement of thesis
  • Prediction or recommendation

Example:

To summarize, a robotic teacher does not have the necessary disciple to properly give instructions to students and actually works to retard the ability of a student to comprehend new lessons. Therefore, it is clear that the idea of running a classroom completely by a machine cannot be supported. After thorough analysis on this subject, it is predicted that the adverse effects of the debate over technology-driven teaching will always be greater than the positive effects, and because of this, classroom teachers will never be substituted for technology.

Start your conclusion with a linking phrase. Here are some examples:

  • In conclusion
  • To conclude
  • To summarize
  • Finally
  • In a nutshell
  • In general
