“Prevention is better than cure”. agree?, disagree?


“Prevention is better than cure”. It is better to spend money on preventing illnesses by promoting healthy living rather than spending it trying to make people feel better after they become ill
To what extend do you agree or disagree with this statement?


From the day we born we have thought to brush teeth twice a day, wash hands before every meal, not to eat uncovered food from roadside shops and stalls, drink boiled water and many more good habits. And every child has given vocational injections like “polio”, “rubella”. This is all because to prevent disease instead of curing it.
There are many reasons why people tend to prevent instead of cure. One reason is that some illnesses can’t be cured. Disease like HIV AIDS, dengi has no cure. Dengi infect ease have to stop all their work and rest till it get cured by body itself but AIDS have no cure at all. So in this prevention is the only option.
When you get sick, you have to visit doctors, buy medicines, sometimes bed rest till you get full recovered. All These things cost your valuable time. So preventing from disease save your time instead of curing.
If you get sick, you may have to visit doctors and most of the time you have to pay for it. Also you cost money for the medication you buy. So preventing not only save your time, but also your money.
Preventing yourself from disease also help to stop them from spreading. Preventing yourself is very important in times that epidemic disease spread. It may help to stop another hundreds of people getting infected and also in a country like Sri Lanka where the resources are limited you may saving a bed for a another person.
Preventing save your valuable time, money and it helps to stop disease from spreading. It’s clear that prevention is always better than cure

How to write an good essay


In IELTS you get 2 writing tasks. 1st is to explain a graph, chart or a data table. 2nd task is to write an essay on a given topic. These 2nd task topics are always argumentative. Most of the time, end of the topic you will see a line like “give your opinion on this”, or “do you agree on this?” something like that. So what you have to do is talk about the both sides in 2nd and 3rd paragraph and give your opinion in 4th paragraph.

For an example, get a simple essay topic like “prevention is better than cure, do you agree on this? Or not? (You can get the essay written on this topic from my blog, soon)

In the first paragraph you should give a little introduction about the topic. Basically about three four lines.

Then in the 2nd paragraph, talk about “+” points for the side that you personally think you should support. In this case, if you think cure is better than prevention, talk about why cure is better. Keep in mind; you should talk about “why cure is better”, not about “why I think cure is better”. Use only the last paragraph to give your opinion

Then use the next paragraph to talk about “why prevention is better than cure”. Again, this not the place to tell your opinion. Talk about the topic in general. Not from your point of view.

Then in last paragraph, talk about why “you” think cure is better instead of prevention. Use only this paragraph to give your opinion.

If you writing the essay supporting the other idea, in this case, if you think prevention is better, switch places of 2nd and 3rd paragraph

[IELTS] In many countries, children are engaged in some kind of paid work?. is it write or wrong?




In many countries, children are engaged in some kind of paid work. Some people regard this as completely wrong, while others consider it as valuable work experience important for learning and taking responsibilities


What is your opinion on this?

Minors involve in paid work is a situation that can seen not only in developing countries but as well as in developed countries too. The difference is what’s the reason that makes them involve in paid work. Some maybe working for earn pocket money, some may working for provide food for the family. Yet there are lot of arguments about whether involving minors in paid work is correct or not.

Some people think that start doing a job in small age is important because it gives the ability of taking responsibility in early age, and it gives the valuable work experience to them in early age. Also earning money by working is a pleaser than asking from parents. Working with different people also helps minors to improve their communication skills and also to get more socialized which is important for their whole life

But there are lot of people that say working for money in minor age is a bad thing because of many reasons. First thing is that childhood is the happiest time in anyone’s life. Using the time that they should enjoy on working is a waste of time. Second reason is they maybe expose to bad habits. Involving in paid work in minor age also make them work with elders. This may expose them to bad habits like smoking, rude language. In developing countries, earning money for the family become minors priority may affect on their education also.

I believe that involve in paid work for a modest amount, under parents supervision will give them the work experience, joy of working, ability of taking responsibility and communication skills without wasting their enjoyable time or education. Working in early age helps child to become responsible and hard working person that country need.
