IELTS WRITING: LOOKING AFTER ONE’S HEALTH AS A DUTY

 

IELTS WRITING Task 2: 

 

People should look after their health as a duty to the society where they live, rather than for their own benefit. To what extent do you agree or disagree?    

 

 

SAMPLE ESSAY

 

 

It is claimed by some people that taking care of one’s health is more of an obligation as a member of society than for personal gain (personal benefit). In my opinion, I do not agree with it as prioritizing one’s health is a duty to oneself and not to the community.   

 

On the one hand, giving priority to improving one’s health is a responsibility for every person to achieve a healthy or disease-free life, and doing this is an obligation to a person himself and not to society. In other words, one has to take good care of his body because he needs to and not because it is a social obligation. Also, looking after one’s health is a personal choice which means a person should live according to his own terms and not based on societal norms (ways of behaving that are considered normal in a particular society). It is not the responsibility of an individual to persuade others to follow a healthy lifestyle. Conversely (on the other hand), it is also not an obligation of other people to influence others to practice healthy living. Therefore, giving importance to one’s health is for one’s own advantage and not for the community’s.

 

On the other hand, the real obligation of each person in a society is to obey the law and respect people’s personal choices which includes living a healthy or unhealthy life. People should accept others regardless of how fit or unfit they are as it is their choice. By doing this, a harmonious and peaceful society will be cultivated since everyone is allowing others to live the way they want to. Thus, a non-toxic (healthy) society will prosper (thrive; do well) and birth more loving relationships and that is what matters the most for every person in a community than obliging themselves to live a healthy life for the society.  

 

To conclude, giving value to one’s personal health is a personal obligation and a choice and that is not a person’s duty to the community which he is a part of. A person should be dutiful in making himself healthy for his own good.
