In Britain, when someone gets old they often go to live in a home with other old people where there are nurses to look after them. Sometimes the government has to pay for this care. Who do you think should pay for this care, the government or the family? Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge or experience.

In the United Kingdom, old people often are not auto-sufficient which comport the impossibility to stay home by themselves. So, they have to go into a health care structure which is expensive most of the time. In
this
essay, I will discuss who, between government and families, should pay for these expenses.
Firstly
, ageing is unavoidable and at a certain point in everyone's life, we will need some help. Families should be the one paying for their relatives' health care expenses.
However
, not everyone can afford to pay these fees.
For example
, my aunty when she got injured and could not walk anymore, my family had to put her into a home with other old people where she got twenty-four hours of nurses service, which was very expensive and the whole family
was struggling
Suggestion
were struggling
to pay their others everyday bills.
Secondly
, nurses' fees for an older individual should not be attributed to the rest of the family. Everyone should start saving money in order to be able to support financially their retirement, which can include going into a healthcare clinic.
However
, not everyone is able to pay bills and
also
save money during their working lifetime. In
this
case, the government should take care of those that are in need of financial support and pay for their retirement whenever they are unable to pay for themselves. To sum up, whenever a family cannot afford to pay for their beloved ones the government should pay in order to give a decent life to the old people too.

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
