EXAMPLE

St. Lucia has also attended many international conferences about the issue of the aging population. In 2005, we attended the Caribbean Aging Population Conference. This conference allowed different Caribbean nations to talk about the best ways to help elderly people. Additionally, in 2002, we attended the World Assembly on Aging. This meeting was to talk about pensions and healthcare. We are also part of the international organization, Global Aging. This organization works with countries all over the world to find solutions to an aging population.

Is this a GOOD example?

Does it talk about international organizations?

Does it include information about how the country has worked with other countries to help with the problem?

Example

An aging population is an important issue and St. Lucia recommends that all countries agree to raise their retirement age to at least 70 years old. This is a good idea because it would save money which we could spend on education and healthcare. We also recommend that all of the developed countries agree to start a fund to help developing countries pay for the healthcare of the elderly. This is necessary because many countries can’t afford to pay for pensions and their elderly live in poverty.

Is this a GOOD example?

Does it talk about recommendations?

What can St. Lucia and the world do to help solve the problem of an aging population?

Example

In conclusion, we would like to work with other countries of the UN to find a solution to this serious problem.
