Some people think rich countries should help the poor countries by giving money directly. Others believe that there are other more effective forms of international aids. What’s your opinion?
Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge or experience.
提纲：
观点：穷国最需要技术和人才。
原因1：科技是第一生产力。
原因2：富国可以帮助穷国培养人才。举例：提供奖学金。
Nowadays, an increasing number of people are concerned about international aids. However, whether direct financial support of other effective forms should developed countries give to developing countries is a controversial issue. My view is that the read needs of
poor countries are talents and technologies.
First, it is obvious that technology functions as the main power in the process of a country’s development. That means without science and technology, the productivity cannot be effectively enhanced and the wealth cannot be accumulated at a high speed. So, to help the poor, we’d better give them tools of making fortune.
Moreover, it is rich countries’ duty to nurture talents for poor countries in order to help them innovate independently in a long run. For example, many countries have already offered scholarships to foreign students to encourage them to accomplish their dreams. Undoubtedly, rich countries have more education resources required to be shared with poor countries, thus, all talented people can get a chance to be well-educated. That is not to say that, under no circumstances, should the rich countries provide aid in the form of money. Indeed, money helps a lot in a financial crisis or other urgent problems. But we can never ensure the financial support given will be spent efficiently under an imperfect supervision system.
In conclusion,there are some other types of aids rich
countries may choose to provide more efficient help. Meanwhile, if financial aid is offered, we have to make sure that the money is being spent on what people really need and not filling the pockets of corrupt politicians. Only by doing so, can the poor countries become strong soon.
Eg.
Some people think that good health is essential to every person, so medical services should not be run by profit-making companies. Do the advantages of private health care outweigh the advantages?
It is said that human beings are the only animal that is aware it will one day die. Given such knowledge, we are in a unique position to decide how we live, which in turn affects how long we live. But when we do get sick, should we be in hands of for-profit companies or government? I think ideally it should be some combination of both.
For-profit insurance companies have pros and cons. On the one hand, because they want to make money, they might not agree to all the expensive treatments a sick person wants or needs. On the other hand, individuals will be motivated to stay healthy and take care of themselves so they do not have to pay such high insurance rates.
Government-run healthcare is also a mixed bag. One advantage is that it ensures all people, regardless of income, have at least some basic medical coverage. The disadvantage, though, is that individuals have no incentive to take good care of their health. After all, if they eat poorly or smoke and get sick, it is not they that have to pay for it.
Clearly the ideal choice would be a combination of both private and public health insurance. This way everyone can have basic coverage, but if people have the resources to buy private insurance they are free to do so and it does not place too big a burden on government.
So by combining the benefits of both systems we can
achieve health care that is complete and fair. This is important because in any society both the government and the individual have responsibilities. When it comes to health, we all have a part to play.
Eg.
Housing shortages in big cities can have severe consequences. Only government action can solve this problem. To what extent do you agree or disagree?
Land supply
Interest rate
City planning
Housing policy
Nowadays in big cities all over the world it is not uncommon to hear people complain about the cost of housing. It seems that real estate markets are often out of control and consumers have no say in the matter. As housing is a basic need, governments need to step in to protect consumer rights and make sure the markets are fair.
Let us begin by considering the current financial crisis in America. This was partly caused by a real estate bubble. When housing prices go up, people think it is a quick way to get rich and they borrow more money than they should. When the prices fall, they owe more than the house is worth.
Also consider that in any city there are many people with low and medium incomes. How can such people be expected to buy expensive real estate when their salaries are not all high? Clearly governments should step in and set reasonable limits on prices so that not only the super rich can afford to live in cities.
If governments do not act, the consequences could be severe. If the trend continues then eventually people will stop moving to cities or only the rich will live there and both of these are unrealistic. It takes all types of people to make up a city and all people deserve affordable housing.
So finally the responsibility rests with government to place reasonable controls on the real estate market. Housing should be a basic human right, like food and water, but if government does not act soon, it will be a privilege only for the rich. What a shame that would be.
Eg.
Some people said the government should not spend money on building theaters and sports stadiums. Instead, it should spend more money on medical care and education. Do you agree or disagree?
Every government faces a similar dilemma: how it should use its limited resources in the best way. Some people think that large buildings and stadiums are perhaps a waste of money, and that it should be used for more practical things. While every country’s situation varies, generally countries should invest more in things like education and less on eye-catching landmarks.
Take the Olympics for example. Of course they were a great success and gave a good impression, but after they
were finished those expensive buildings just sat there empty, after huge amounts of money were spent to build them. If we build amazing buildings but only use them once in while, what is the point?
Also consider that theaters and sports stadiums are “wants’and not “needs”. Sure, everyone likes to relax and have some fun, but money should be spent on these things after the more basic and fundamental needs of a society have been met. And when we do build such facilities, we do not have to be overly extravagant—it just is not a necessity.
Medical care and education, however, are incredibly important to any society. Everyone deserves to be healthy and have access to qualified doctors in order to feel safe and secure. Education allows people to work hard, save money, raise families and achieve their dreams. It is a basic need in modern society; to be educated is to be able to contribute and lead a good life.
So finally, governments must separate “needs”and
“wants”, and state-of-the-art sports facilities are certainly wants, not needs. All societies must make education and medical care a priority because they are the foundation for a good life. If these needs are met, we can then consider other things.
Eg.
Many countries have spent vast sums of money on armament for the sake of self-defense. Some people think they should spend money helping reducing poverty and other issues rather than on weapons. To what extent do you agree or disagree?
Every country spends some money on self-defense and its military; it is only natural. But the important consideration is how much money should be spent? Some people think that countries should spend less on the military and more helping to reduce the gap between rich and poor. My view is that each country needs to pay attention to both and find the proper balance.
Every country needs to maintain its borders and protect
its people. This seems like a no-brainer. Naturally, some countries which are geographically large and share borders with many countries will need to spend more on its military budget, while others can spend less. We should also remember that military not only can be used in self-defense, but also is important in domestic emergencies and natural disasters.
This is not to say, however, that we should neglect other important social issues. For a country to be stable and balanced, governments should also do what it can to narrow the gap between the rich and the poor as well as investing in other social programmes. Sometimes the biggest threat is not from other countries, but from social inequality. Government must take a balanced approach to spending its funds.
In fact, there are many countries which do a good job of balancing spendin on social programmes and self-defense, like many European countries for example. Another possibility to consider is for countries to form an alliance so they can share the cost of self-defense. By
doing so, they will have more to spend on other areas.
So in the end, each country must strike a balance between dealing with international and domestic threats. Hopefully one day we will live in a more peaceful time and we will not need to spend anything on self-defense. Until then, we should aim for a reasonable middle ground.
