Public Health Nowdays many people concern about their health and look for an efficient way to live a healthy life. Some people argue that having more sports facilities around will improve their health. However, I think that this method is unlikely to achieve the expected result and there are better ways than that. Even though people get more accesses to the sports facilities, it will not have any affect unless they go outside the house to use those facilities. Everyone already knows that working out is good for their health, but not all of them actually practice it. In other words, they do not work out not because they do not know the importance of exercise but because of their laziness. However, we cannot follow them every day to push them to move. Therefore I suggest reducing the prices of organic foods. Generally, organic foods are more expensive than normal foods. Sometimes we can see that the people living in inner cities are fatter than well-off people. Because they do not have enough money to buy good quality of foods so they just have junk foods or light snacks which are relatively cheaper. Foods are one of the most important factors that influence on our health, so if the public take more nutrition from healthy foods, they will less have obesity, diabetes or some other diseases that arise from having bad diets. Also, the government can reduce medical insurance premium. One of my neighbours suffered from a rare disease but could not afford his medical bills because he did not have any medical insurance due to the expensive monthly premium. If the National insurance helps the public with this, the number of people suffering serious diseases will decrease and consequently the public health will be improved. In sum, although building more sports facilities can give people more chances to do exercise, it is not a fundamental solution. Instead, helping the people who are not having proper meals or suffering from bad disease will enable the public health benefit. p.s. I don't mind if you change the entire sentence to make it sound better even if it's grammatically correct. I actually prefer to be corrected to sound more natural. Thank you in advance :)

One or Ones? Hello, I just saw a sentence in a formal English writing: one need only look at the classic examples of Joan of Arc and Mulan to see how exceptionally women could perform on the battlefield. I don't understand why it used plural form of verb "need". I think one is singular noun... then the sentence won't make much sense with the context though. Could you explain this?
