LIFE LESSON

I would like to teach my children that we should

never give up although the obstacles, we don’t
have to change our goals, only increase the
effort to make it happen!
 OUTLINE

OPINION:
-Start your essay with a provocative question (you can use unreal conditional) /
shocking data
Is it possible to know what diseases we could have in the future?
-Background information
Genetic testing could give us information about genes in our DNA that can be related with
specific diseases.
-Thesis: your position + the reason
I strongly believe that people should get a genetic testing because it will help them not
only to take measures to prevent certain diseases changing their lifestyle but also get an
early diagnosis and receive a timely treatment.
Reason 1: Lifestyle changes.
-Topic sentence
People could prevent specific diseases changing their lifestyle.
-Details
-Some diseases such as hypertension and diabetes have a genetic component that we can
inherit of our parents.
-There are genetic tests that are used in healthy individuals with the aim of identifying
predisposition to develop these diseases that are very common in our country.
Reason 2: Consider an early treatment.
-Topic sentence
People could get an early diagnosis and receive a timely treatment.
-Details
-The genetic testing of specific types of cancer such us breast and ovarian cancer is useful
not
only to improve early detection, but also to apply preventive treatments when the tumor
has not yet developed.
-This test helps to find out if the woman is a carrier of any genetic mutation related to
breast and ovarian cancer, analyzing the possible alteration of 17 genes.
Opinion (Conclusion): Restate the thesis. You can finish with a suggestion / a prediction
/ advice.
In conclusion, genetic testing provides us valuable information that can make people
aware about their health conditions. It could have an important impact in the prevention
of certain diseases, early diagnosis, and a timely treatment.
