Same problems happen in this essay (again hope it's not too late..) At many places a period should be used instead of a comma. Another problem is about your argument. In 1st paragraph you mention prevention is better than cure, but in the final para you said prevention is as important as cure. So...what's exactly your opinion? Another problem is about word choice. I understand most of us want to impress raters with our vocabulary, but inappropriate usage/choices would bring counter effects. I would only illustrate a few in the text. ※ 引述《smiledoris (小恩)》之銘言： : Out of 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? : --------------------------- : In recent years governments and ordinary citizens have been attaching greater : weight to the health issue, and furthermore, the argument of should authority : concerned spends more revenue on health education and preventative measures : has become a hot-button debate, however, I believe that prevention is surely : better than cure. : A patient who has limited education of health and medicine would cause huge : catastrophe to himself/herself, for he/she might abuse drugs or take medicine ~~~~~~~~~~~inappropriate here.
