It is more important for the government to spend money on promoting the
healthy lifestyle to prevent illness rather than on the treatment of people
who are really ill. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

In recent years, there has been a growing debate about whether the
government should prioritize spending on promoting healthy lifestyles to
prevent illness or on treating people who are already ill. While both
approaches are important, I firmly believe that the government should
allocate more resources towards promoting healthy lifestyles to
prevent illness. In this essay, I will outline my reasons for holding
this opinion.

● prevention is always better than cure
○ adopt healthy habits (eating a balanced diet, exercising regularly, and

There are a number of evidence proving prevention is always better than cure. First of
all, if people adopt healthy habits such as eating a balanced diet, exercising regularly,
and avoiding smoking and excessive alcohol consumption, they are less likely to
develop illnesses such as heart disease, diabetes, and obesity. As a result, the
government can save a significant amount of money that would otherwise be spent on
treating them. Another advantage of promoting a healthy lifestyle is that it can improve
the overall quality of life of the population. A healthy population is happier, more
productive, and less likely to miss work due to illness. This can have a positive impact
on the economy as well as on society as a whole.

The main reason to focus on prevention is that it can save the government
a lot of money. When people eat well, exercise regularly, and avoid
smoking and drinking too much, they are less likely to get diseases like
heart disease, diabetes, and obesity. This means the government won't
have to spend as much money treating these illnesses, and can use that
money for other important things. From a financial point of view, preventing
illness is better than just treating it.

● illnesses are unavoidable
○ [TS] However, it is also important to note that treating those who
are already ill is crucial.
○ [SS] Some illnesses are unavoidable, and people may require
medical treatment regardless of their lifestyle choices.
○ [CS] Therefore, the government should allocate sufficient funds to

WRITING TASK 2
CONCLUSION
● In conclusion, while promoting a healthy lifestyle is undoubtedly
important, it should not be done at the expense of treating those who
are already ill.
● The government should allocate funds to both prevention and
treatment equally.
● By doing so, the government can ensure that the population remains
healthy and productive, while also providing necessary medical care to
those who require it.
