You should spend about 40 minutes on this task. Present a written argument or case to an educated reader with no specialist knowledge of the following topic. You should write at least 250 words. You should use your own ideas, knowledge and experience and support your argument with examples and relevant evidence.
“Prevention in 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.

Answer:
The governments of the world spend millions of dollars on health and the major part of this budget is diverted to treatment. Thus, most of people think it would be a better solution to allocate more funds to preventative measures and health education, which I totally agree with for a range of reasons.
Medical science has progressed to such a stage where it is possible to find out the outcomes of many illnesses but it could often take years of bead health before problems appear because people avoid going to check-ups, in most cases until they notice some obvious symptoms or experience pain. As a result, health education and preventative measures may be regarded as long term solutions to a nation’s sufferings so a simple government campaign in which promotes health lifestyle could prevent community from future illness. In addition, there are also several diseases such as cancer of AIDS and etc cannot be treated effective so far and they can cause a large number of people death each year. The only way to protect people from these diseases is to inform them about the precautions which need money to be advertised on TVs, magazines and so on and I strongly believe that the death rates from them will be decreased significantly.
Normally, talking immediate health problems in the form of treatment is important and a substantial amount of a country budget is allocated to this sector. Hospitals in many countries are overcrowded, the medical staffs work more hours and patients do not receive enough the medical care they are deserved. This gloomy image of current issues can be eliminated by allocating the necessary fund to preventative measures as well as health education. Furthermore, the government would save more money because cost of the preventative measures and health education is obviously much less than that of treatment measures.
Take into account of these factors, it can be said that prevention is better than cure , as it saves money and time at the same time and it also decrease the risk people health

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The table represents main reasons why people traveled abroad between 1994 and 1998 among one hundred thousand UK residents. It is easily to find out that holiday is the main reason for visits abroad and the number of visits abroad decreased in 1995 in most purposes such as holidays, visits to friends and relatives and other reason but except business. There were 15,246 visits abroad for holidays in 1994 and this figure went up sharply to 20,700 in 1998. Business is the second poplar reason. There were 3,957 business trips in 1998, increasing 802 visits compared to that of the beginning year of the survey. Visits to friends and family is ranked as the third major reason and the number of visits abroad for this purpose increased slightly from 2,689 to 3,181 for the period 1994-98. Others reason accounted for 982 visits in 1994 and slightly increased to 990 visits at the ending period.
The table shows main destinations where UK resident travelled abroad for the period 1994-1998. It is obviously to see that Western European was chosen to be the most popular destination of visits abroad and North American is the destination where the number of visits abroad increased sharply, and there was a decreasing trend of visits abroad in most of regions in 1995. According to this statistical information, UK resident preferred Western European when choosing travelling oversea destination. The number of visits for this region increased from 19,371 visits in 1994 to 24,519 visits in 1998 .North American was ranked as the third favorable destination but there were more and more people chose to travel to this region, which pushed the number of visits abroad to North American go up extremely high-1,853 visits in 1998, increasing 904 visits compared to that of 1994. And other areas accounted for the second popular destination of visits abroad with a steady increase from 1,782 to 2,486 visits in 1994, 1998 respectively. Remarkably, there was a decrease in the number of visits abroad in all regions in 1995, especially in Western European.
It is clear when looking at these two tables comparatively that the numbers of UK residents preferred traveling abroad was increasing between 1994 and 1998. In 1995, the number of visits abroad decreased in most regions and for most of purposes but the demand of oversea business trip did not decrease, which means UK resident would prioritize their businesses other than other purposes of visits abroad.
