Many developed countries are giving financial aid to poor countries. However, this hasn’t solved the problem of poverty in these nations and so other types of help are needed. To what extent do you agree or disagree with the statement?
Rich nations are providing financial and economic help to non-developed countries, however, this assistance provided is not reflected in the life conditions of the society, therefore, another kind of help should be extended in order to reach real changes. This essay strongly agrees with the statement provided above, as many rich countries, usually, provide financial aid just to collect the interest generated and to have influence over non-developed countries. On top of that, if rich nations want to help generate real changes in the poor countries, they should work to provide other kinds of solutions to resolve the core issues that third countries face, such as corruption and poverty.

Some people think that the government is wasting money on the arts and that this money could be better spent elsewhere. To what extent do you agree with this view?
It is thought by some that the government should not spend money on the arts, which is a waste of money, because there are many other areas needing money to improve the quality of life, which are more important than the arts. However, I don’t agree with this idea. In my view, the arts are indispensable part of life. It is necessary for the government to invest money in the area of the arts.
