[Vatsal D] Writing Practice Test 1138315

Richer countries are known to extend their help to financially challenged countries by means of donating money. However, I do not believe it is enough for them to rise above poverty, and additional action must be taken by nations with more wealth to help their poorer counterparts.

Rich countries can not be thanked enough for extending their help and giving money to the less fortunate countries. This additional cash flow goes a long way in improving economy, healthcare, education, and media, among the many other things which are instrumental in building the foundation of a successful and powerful nation. If handled carefully, the poorer countries can become self-reliant and soon come out from the quicksand, called poverty.

As the popular proverb goes, 'Give a man a fish, and he will not sleep hungry. Teach a man to fish, and he will be taken care of for the entire month', meaning a short quick easy-to-do solution be attractive, but serves little to no purpose in the long run. Similarly, just handing out money is not the solution rich countries should adopt while dealing with the poverty of other nations. An absence of an established and stable administration will lead to a mismanagement of funds, and soon there will be no money left, forcing the poor countries to be reliant on the richer ones. Rich countries should send economists and bureaucrats to educate and guide the governments on how to handle money and help them set up proper channels to distribute the money. They should also make rules and regulations to ensure any malpractice, like bribery, does not take place, as corruption can uproot a developing country.

I would like to conclude by saying that though richer countries are doing their part in uplifting poor nations, it is not enough to help them escape poverty.
