Band 5

Many countries now face an economic downturn so it is better for each country to focus on its own problems rather than helping other countries. To what extent do you agree or disagree? Use specific reasons and examples to support your position.

countries
 handle their own

 without considering those

However
, I would argue with those who think that in economical disaster helping other nationalities are crucial. On the one hand, some citizens are keen to think that assisting other

 manner.
Firstly
, all of us are living in a global village ,so we have to help each other in times of

.
Secondly
, more economical

 are common between societies and we can better tackle the

 when we are cooperating with each other.

However
, I believe
although
countries
 have to support other
countries
 to tackle their issues, they should
first
 concentrate on their own matters whenever they face difficulties.
This
 is because they can be more agile and if they focus
first
 on their own needs, they will better respond to the
problems
.
For instance
, in the economical
crisis
 in 2008 which the USA was affected by economic bankruptcy, if they had helped other nations like china (that they were affected by the
crisis
 too), they would have not survived after the disaster. Another reason is that support other

 lead to loss of the country resources,
moreover
, it will be very time consuming for those other nations to pay back their mortgage. In conclusion, while it will be helpful if
countries
 in economical
crisis
 support each other, I believe it is more rational when we encounter an economical downturn, we concentrate
first
 to find the solutions about own
problems
 than think of the others.
