Writing UNIT 11
4 Read the following
paragraph and
underline any
words which help
link ideas together.
here is always some controversy over whether it is
important to spend large sums of money on
medical research or whether more of this money
should be directed towards treating patients.
Obviously some medical research is essential. Without
it, we would have no vaccinations against diseases
such as polio, no drags such as antibiotics and no
treatments like x-rays or radiotherapy. Nevertheless,
the field of medical research is very competitive and
this has financial disadvantages. Take, for example,
the current research being conducted on the HIV
virus. In this field it is arguable that money is being
wasted in that scientists throughout the world are
working independently towards the same ultimate
goal - to find a cure for AIDS - and with the same
hope of becoming famous in the process. Surely it
would be more productive and less costly if these
scientists joined forces and an international research
team was set up with joint international funding.
