INTRODUCTION

• Make sure you mention 3 or 4 things that you are
  going to write about in your essay.

Example
The man stumbled through the woods. How did he
get here. All he remembers is the pain, the gun,
the screeching wheels, and the phone call.

will explain my viewpoint by referring to the
health service, treatment and resilience.

Paragraph 1

• Paragraph one must be about the first thing you
  mentioned in your introduction paragraph. If it
  was the red block, you write about the red block.

My head is throbbing with pain. I can feel dry
blood in my hair. I feel a deep cut when I
tenderly touch the tender spot. I must have been
unconscious for some time. Suddenly I remember
what caused the pain.
We have a very effective health service in South
Africa. There is a clinic in every town. Each
clinic provides anti-retroviral medicine to
people suffering from HIV/AIDS. People can also
be tested at these clinics. HIV/AIDS is not such
a serious problem because everybody has access to
healthcare.

Paragraph 2

• Paragraph two must be about the second you
  mentioned in your introduction paragraph. If it
  was the blue block, you write about the blue
  block.

I was hit with a gun. Suddenly I realise that I
am lying near the front door. Their must have
been a struggle because the lock is almost
completely destroyed. I remember running for the
door. But why? Suddenly there were shots and
splinters everywhere. Someone entered and hit me.
I hear a dull peeping noise.
Treatment is available to all. If you dont want
to use medicine you must eat healthy. The latest
HIV/AIDS advertisements encourage people by
saying Aids can be treated, suggesting it is
manageable. Surely something that can be managed
is not a threat.

Paragraph 3

• Paragraph three must be about the third you
  mentioned in your introduction paragraph. If it
  was the yellow block, you write about the yellow
  block.

The dull peeping noise is the phone. I can
remember the urgent ringing of the phone. When I
answered I heard Lisas frantic scream They are
coming! They are coming! Lock the door! Who was
coming? Why? What did the people want?
The human being is resilient. If the disease can
be managed, humans can survive. A human being can
adapt very easily to many different situations.
Many Jews survived for four years with extreme
malnitrition in German concentration camps. The
human body adapted. So the human body can adapt
to having HIV/AIDS. Soon it will just be
something else we live with, like crime.

Paragraph 4

• Paragraph four must be about fourth thing you
  mentioned in your introduction paragraph. If it
  was the pink block, you write about the pink
  block.

Suddenly I remember them coming. I heard the
screeching wheels of the car. I remember running
to the door to lock it. I remember turning back
to get the to get the prescious Amarillo stone I
discovered with Lucy in Egypt. The stone!! I run
to to the safe. No!! The safe is cut open and the
stone is missing. The only thing left in the safe
is the symbol.

CONCLUSION

• In the conlusion you must recap and revisit every
  paragraph again.

Now I know why my head aches, the gun, the phone.
I hear wheels burning tyre. Its Lucy. She is
very happy to see me. We lost it, I say. Lucy
is in tears. I still have you.
It is now clear why HIV/AIDS is not a threat.
With and excellent health service all people have
access to treatment. If HIV/AIDS is managed the
resilient human will still live a ripe and full
life.
