Sample Answer
A problem of
modern societies is the declining level of health in the general population.
with conflicting views on how to tackle this worrying trend. One possible solution
is to provide more sports facilities to encourage a more active lifestyle.
Advocates of this believe that todays sedentary lifestyle and stressful working conditions mean that physical activity is no longer part of either our work or our leisure time. If there were easy to-reach local sports centres. we would be more likely to make exercise a regular part of our lives, rather than just collapsing in front of a screen every evening, The variety of sports that could be offered would cater for all ages, levels of fitness and interests: those with painful memories of PE at school might be happier in the swimming pool than on the football pitch.

However. there
may be better ways of tackling this problem. Interest in sport is not
universal. and additional facilities might simply attract the already ht. not
those who most need them. Physical activity could be encouraged relatively
cheaply. For example by installing exercise equipment in parks. as my local
council has done. This has the added benefit that parents and children often
use them together just for fun, which develops a positive attitude to exercise
at an early age.
As well as
physical activity. high tax penalties could be imposed on high fat food
products. tobacco and alcohol. as excessive consumption of any of these contributes
to poor health. Even improving public transport would help: it takes longer to
walk to the bus stop than to the car.
In my opinion,
focusing on sports facilities is too narrow an approach and would not have the
desired results. People should be encouraged not only to be more physically
active but also to adopt a healthier lifestyle in general.
