        	        	<description><![CDATA[<p>Hi Sara and welcome back!</p>
<p><span style="color: #800000"><strong>Introduction</strong></span></p>
<p>In your introduction, I would suggest having a word like 'However' at the start of the sentence "This has had a negative impact on the present population because..."</p>
<p>It's because the first three sentences build up the positives very nicely (improved medicine, new drugs, government treatment programs). Suddenly, however, you have a negative, so it's important to mark this for the reader.</p>
<p><span style="color: #800000"><strong>Word choice:</strong></span></p>
<p>The reference in the thesis sentence is not very clear:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>
The <span style="background-color: #ffff00">finance</span> must also be focussed on creating awareness on health issues.</p>
<ul>
<li>The money that governments spend must also... OR</li>
<li>The health budget must also...<br />
   </li>
<li>awareness <span style="background-color: #ffff00">on</span> obesity ==&#62; awareness of obesity</li>
<li>Nations could <span style="background-color: #ffff00">earn</span> efficient and skilled workers ==&#62; Nations could benefit from/foster/develop</li>
<li><span style="background-color: #ffff00">labours</span> ==&#62; labourers, workers, employees</li>
<li>Although funds are needed to cure <span style="background-color: #ffff00">the diseased croud</span> ==&#62; Although funds are needed to treat disease,</li>
<li>This has <span style="background-color: #ffff00">made</span> a negative impact ==&#62; This has had a negative impact</li>
</ul>
</blockquote>
<p><strong><span style="color: #800000">Articles and conjunctions</span></strong></p>
<p>Government invests <span style="background-color: #ffff00">on</span> discovering medicines ==&#62; Government<strong><span style="color: #800000">s</span></strong> invest in... OR <span style="color: #800000"><strong>The</strong></span> government invests in...</p>
<p>...because they are depend<span style="background-color: #ffff00">a</span>nt on the cure available than preventing the illnesses ==&#62;Make both <strong>plural</strong> or <strong>singular</strong> (parallel)</p>
<blockquote>
<ul>
<li>...because they have become dependent on cure rather than prevention</li>
<li>...because they have become dependent on treatment rather than prevention</li>
</ul>
</blockquote>
<ul>
<li>Thus <span style="background-color: #ffff00">the</span> people must be made to realise the importance of health. Omit "the" before people?</li>
<li>follow <span style="background-color: #ffff00">an</span> healthy diet ==&#62; a healthy diet</li>
<li>It clearly proves that governmen<span style="background-color: #ffff00">t</span> must spend ==&#62; governments/the government</li>
<li>I<span style="background-color: #ffff00">n c</span>ase of a diabetes patient ==&#62; In the case of a diabetes patient</li>
<li>future complications like diabetes mellitus, hypertension<span style="background-color: #ffff00">, c</span>ardiac problems ==&#62; and cardiac problems</li>
<li><span style="background-color: #ffff00">P</span>roportion of people who suffer from the diseases must also be considered ==&#62; <span style="color: #800000"><strong>The</strong></span> proportion of people who suffer from the diseases must also be considered</li>
</ul>
<p><span style="color: #800000"><strong>Agreement</strong></span></p>
<ul>
<li>These basic measures protects them ==&#62; protect</li>
<li>Government invests on discovering medicines =&#62; Governments invest OR The government invests</li>
</ul>
<p><span style="color: #800000"><strong>Simplify:</strong></span></p>
<blockquote>
<p>
<span style="background-color: #ffff00">This is possible by taking preventive measures from becoming the victim of the illness. For instance, occupational hazards could be prevented by using dosage alert badges on the labours to save them. Thus the economy of the country inclines with healthy population.</span></p>
<p>This is possible by taking preventive measures. For instance, penicillin allergies could be avoided by using badges on workers. <em>(This is too specific an example -  could you pick an easier one or make it clearer?</em>).  Thus, the economy of the country develops in line with the health of its population.<em> (Does this follow the previous sentence?)</em></p>
<p>if it takes steps to educate the society and make population <span style="text-decoration: line-through">realise and follow the basic measures</span> ==&#62;<br />
 if it takes steps to educate the population and help them implement basic health measures</p>
</blockquote>
<p><span style="color: #800000"><strong>Run-on sentence/Comma Splice/Long sentence</strong></span></p>
<blockquote>
<p>
This could be illustrated in case of a diabetes patient with a leg ulce<span style="background-color: #ffff00">r, if</span> blood glucose levels are not controlled, the non-healing ulcer turns into a gangrene and leads to amputation of the leg.</p>
<p>If blood glucose levels are not controlled in diabetic patients, leg ulcers may turn gangrenous and require amputation of the leg.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>Overall, the essay starts very well, but there are some examples in the body that are not very clear or are too detailed. Your sentences are still too long, at an average 17 words. Try to write shorter sentences - you will have fewer errors. Watch for simple agreement and article errors.</p>

        	        	<description><![CDATA[<p>In my opinion, the government plays an important role in this problem, as it manages health service in the most of places around the world. tThe main problem is that a lot of people around the world do not have access to health service due to the majority of times this service is very expensive, and the treatments has a cost even more expensive.<br />
In addition, the government does not provide enough information on time about diseases, it can do it through different health programs existents which can also be given in schools, companies, villages, etc. However, I think the schools are the most important and appropriate places due to government can implement a culture of prevention.</p>

        	        	<description><![CDATA[<p>"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?</p>
<hr />
<p>In this 21st century, the field of medicine has improved dramatically. Scientists work hard to explore drugs for newer and untreatable diseases. Government invests on discovering medicines and treating the sick people.This has made a negative impact on the present population because they are dependant on the cure available than preventing the illnesses. In my opinion, the finance must also be focussed on creating awareness on health issues.</p>
<p>Health education is beneficial for people of all age groups and gender. For example, awareness on obesity for children helps them to follow an healthy diet and to do physical exercises. These basic measures protects them from future complications like diabetes mellitus, hypertension, cardiac problems occuring due to sedentary lifestlyes. Thus the people must be made to realise the importance of health.</p>
<p>Nations could earn efficient and skilled workers by keeping them healthy. This is possible by taking preventive measures from becoming the victim of the illness. For instance, occupational hazards could be prevented by using dosage alert badges on the labours to save them. Thus the economy of the country inclines with healthy population.</p>
<p>Proportion of people who suffer from the diseases must also be considered and educated to protect them from dreadful complications. This could be illustrated in case of a diabetes patient with a leg ulcer, if blood glucose levels are not controlled, the non-healing ulcer turns into a gangrene and leads to amputation of the leg. This could have been prevented by careful monitoring and controlling sugar levels. It clearly proves that government must spend on preventive measures to be more effective.</p>
<p>Although funds are needed to cure the diseased croud, it is the responsibility of the government to keep everyone fit and stay healthy. This is possible only if it takes steps to educate the society and make population realise and follow the basic measures to protect them from major illnesses. This fits best to the saying "PREVENTION IS BETTER THAN CURE"</p>
