  12. Put your topic sentence at the end Save the best for last, this is where you let you audience know what you are claiming: Eg: The money taken in a sugar tax is necessary to support the health system and as a deterrent to careless consumers.

  13. All together now! A nice cold, sweet, fizzy drink is something I love at the end of a meal. It tastes great and settles the stomach, but is it the right thing to do? As sugar related sicknesses are now becoming more common around the world, some people claim that a sugar tax might reduce consumption and help pay for the price of health care. While I agree with the concept of personal freedom, I also agree with the concept of individual responsibility. Therefore, I strongly believe that a sugar tax is necessary to offset the cost of health care and to work as a discouragement to the majority of the population.
