"Prevention is better than cure."Out of a country's health budget, a large proportion should be diverted from treatment to spending on health education and preventative measures. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this statement?

THE TOTAL AMOUNT OF MONEY FROM THE HEALTH AGENCIES SHOULD BE SPEND ON CREATING AWARENESS
INSTEAD
OF TREATING
DISEASES
. IT IS WELL SAID,' PREVENTION IS BETTER THAN CURE". IN MY OPINION, I AGREE THAT USING PREVENTIVE MEASURES HELPS TO STOP
FURTHER
AILMENTS AND STUDENTS SHOULD BE EDUCATED IN SCHOOL REGARDING HEALTHY FOOD HABITS AND LIFESTYLES.
TO BEGIN
WITH,
FIRSTLY
, THE HEALTH SECTOR GOVERNMENT CAN PLAN CAMPAIGNS TO MAKE FOLK AWARE REGARDING COMMON
DISEASES
WHICH CAN AFFECT THEM AND CAN BE FATAL IN THEIR LATER STAGES OF LIFE.
FOR INSTANCE
, RECENTLY, THERE WAS A PLAY IN A MALL BY 5
PEOPLE
EXPLAINING COVID 19 SYMPTOMS, WHICH WAS INTERESTING AND EASILY UNDERSTANDABLE. THESE CAMPS WILL MOTIVATE
PEOPLE
TO FOCUS ON THEIR HEALTH BY GIVING THEM THE OPPORTUNITY TO ASK QUESTIONS, PARTICIPATE IN SOME ORGANISED GAMES AND MANY MORE.
THIS
WILL HELP TO CREATE AWARENESS AMONG
PEOPLE
.
SECONDLY
, IF A STUDENT IS MEMORISING ALL THE BENEFITS OF A BALANCED DIET AND REGARDING FACTORS WHICH CAN LEAD TO
DISEASES
AT SCHOOL,
THEN
THEY WILL LEAD A HEALTHY LIFE AND PREVENT MANY
DISEASES
. ONE CLEAR EXAMPLE IS, THE SEX EDUCATION IN SCHOOL WILL HELP CHILDREN TO KNOW NOT ONLY HOW OUR BODYWORK BUT
ALSO
WHAT PRECAUTIONS TO TAKE TO AVOID HIV/AIDS, GONORRHEA, SEXUALLY TRANSMITTED
DISEASES
. THE EDUCATION PROVIDED TO THE LEARNERS HELP NOT ONLY THEM TO MAKE THE RIGHT AND HEALTHY CHOICES BUT
ALSO
TO HELP OTHER
PEOPLE
TO STAY HEALTHY. LITERACY ELIMINATES MANY
DISEASES
. IN CONCLUSION, TO MAKE
PEOPLE
UNDERSTAND ABOUT THE DISEASE OR TO CREATE AWARENESS HELPS TO PREVENT MANY UNTREATABLE AND TREATABLE
DISEASES
ALONG WITH EDUCATING THE NATION'S YOUNG GENERATION AT SCHOOLS. GOVERNMENT SHOULD
ALSO
OFFER EASILY ASSESSABLE FACILITIES TO THE POPULATION TO DETECT
DISEASES
AT AN EARLY STAGE AS WELL AS ALL OTHER MEASURES TO PREVENT THEM.

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.

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