   Model answer · ways to avoid allergy

   1. 1.One way to avoid allergy is to stay away from allergy-causing factors like dust, pollen, or pet dander. A person should avoid contact with such allergens as far as possible, for example by wearing a pollen mask while cleaning the house and keeping dander-producing animals away.1 mark
   2. 2.Another way to avoid allergy is maintaining personal hygiene, such as washing hands regularly, taking a balanced diet to boost immunity, and keeping the house and surroundings clean, since cleanliness of the home and body helps prevent the build-up of allergens that trigger allergic reactions.1 mark

   • Mention 'dust, pollen, or pet dander' and say to stay away from them for the first point.
   • Write 'personal hygiene', 'washing hands', 'balanced diet' and 'cleanliness' together for the second point.
   • Keep each point separate — do not mix avoiding allergens with hygiene measures in one line.
