5. Two-part Question
Prevention is better than cure. Researching and treating diseases is too costly so it would be
better to invest in preventive measures. To what extent do you agree?
Draft:
Without research, treatment for non preventable diseases will not be possible.
In addition to that, there will always be new disease outbreaks due to the
evolution of bacteria and viruses. Recently, many people suffered from Ebola
fever that led to the death of patients in severe cases. The causative virus
also affects the development of fetus in pregnant women. Therefore, we need
to actively conduct research and arm ourselves to tackle unknown as well as
non preventable diseases.
Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge or
experience.

Main idea: the main problems and solution of brain drain and solution.
Supporting idea 1: the main problems (need of economic growth- dominance of strong
countries)
Firstly, the main problem associated with the migration of skilled workers is
that poorer countries need them to grow economically. This is to say there are
various areas like healthcare and technology where these countries need to
develop themselves, and they fail due to shortage of manpower. To illustrate,
Nigeria has an underdeveloped healthcare sector due to shortage of qualified
doctors leading to under development in other industries. Secondly, if the rate
of brain drain is not tackled poor countries will become poorer while strong
economies will take advantage of it. First world nations have already peaked
their development. It is poor countries that require more human resources to
create wealth for their citizens.
There are two effective solutions to deal with this problem. One way to
discourage brain drain is through rewarding and recognizing talent. This is
because with good pay they can enjoy a good lifestyle similar to what
developed countries offer and through recognition they will be widely
accoladed for their contributions to society. Another solution is providing these
prodigies with a special status in the country. Through this status they will feel
that their presence is highly respected and required in their own country than
others. One clear example is the recognition given to Indian Army through tax
breaks, subsidized housing and government aid for children’s education.

Experience and soft skills certainly matter. In many industries employers will
only hire people who have previous work experience in the same sector. By
hiring experienced employers, they can eliminate the costs involved in training
new employees. Soft skills are also important now. Gone are the days when
employees could finish tasks on their own. Now they require team effort. Also
in this age of globalization businesses operate from multiple locations from
across the globe. In this scenario an employee requires good interpersonal
skills to communicate with a customer or a client living in another part of the
globe.
However, experience and soft skills alone will not help much. Jobs have
become more complicated these days and it is not possible to perform them
without adequate knowledge and training. For example, a person cannot
practice as a doctor or an advocate without getting a degree in medicine or
law. Most jobs that offer good salaries actually belong to this category. Only a
candidate who has spent five or six years at university can apply for them.
Experience is something that an individual gains after getting hired. It will
definitely improve their chances of getting a promotion or raise. However, in
order to get hired, the first thing they need is a university degree. What’s
more, nowadays, universities impart much more than theoretical knowledge.
They conduct workshops to give students hands-on experience. University
education also provides students an opportunity to interact with others and
improve their communication skills.

Supporting detail 3: reason 2 (having too much freedom is not very safe for kids)
Supporting idea 2: answer of 2nd question (kids will have different values from disciplined
kids)
Supporting detail 2: examples for both types of kids (children never forced –
children given everything)
In today’s society, some parents are becoming increasingly permissive. They do
not impose sufficient discipline on their children, and in some cases buy them
too many things. This essay will explore why this is not a good way to raise
children and why it will have negative impacts upon them in future.
If parents insist on this permissive style of parenting, their children will grow up
with very different values from those of stricter parents. Children who were
never forced to study will end up with poorer grades in school and those who
were given everything they wanted as children will expect everything to come
easily as adults. In short, they will lead difficult and disappointing lives, in
contrast with what their parents hoped.
