paragraph 1 mock aiste (intro)

Is cinnte go bhfuil sé fíor le rá go bhfuil iliomad fadhb i sochaí na tíre seo in Éirinn.

its clear that its true to say that theres a handful of problems in society in the lands here in ireland

Níl lá dá dtéann tharainn nach gcloisimid nó nach léimid faoi staitisticí ar an raidió nó ar líne faoi fhadhbanna sláinte muintir na tíre ag dul in olcas.

a day doesnt past by that we dont hear or read about statistics on the radio or online about health problems of the people of the country going worse

Ceapaim féin go pearsanta gurbh iad fadhb an óil agus drugaí, cruacheist an mhurtaill, agus an cliseadh ar ár meabhairshláinte na constaicí is mó atá againn in Éirinn agus míneoidh mé mo thuairim i rith na haiste seo.

i think personally that these problems are the drink and drugs, hard issue of obesity, and the failure of our mental health are the biggest obstacles that we have in Ireland and I will explain my opinion throughout this essay

Nuair a luaitear sláinte caitear amach an seanfhocal, ‘Is fearr an tsláinte ná na táinte”, ach tá pobal na tíre ag fulaingt.

When health is mentioned, the seanfhocal is thrown out ‘ the health is preferred to the wealth ‘ but the public of the country is struggling.
