Sample Response

It is irrefutable that all countries make efforts to improve their infrastructure and development in the modern era without any interference from others. The community thinks that every nation is unable to solve the problem of other countries because they do not have sufficient assets as well as funds; therefore, the nation would resolve their internal matter first and attain their intention toward the society. However, I endorse the statement to some extent. I have some solid ground to defend my opinion, which I would like to explicate at length in the paragraph to come.

To begin with, the international contribution is offering a strengthening of bonding with one another throughout the world. To explain, aid could be given by funding the development of poor countries for improving the conditions of hospitals and medical training and giving free medicine to ensure good healthcare; this leading needy person or community across the border is likely to set up a correlation with other and offer to exchange possible expects in a serious situation. For instance, during the COVID-19 pandemic, India tried to help and deliver numerous vaccination, including needed amenities, to average countries, which eventually, those countries controlled their cases of infection with the helping hand of India. In addition, refusing to give a to poor countries could result in hundreds of thousands of unnecessary deaths.

On the other hand, despite international aid, supporting the nation’s people is more valuable for public interest promotion. In other words, it would be wrong when a country considers the problem of other nations instead of people from native countries. At this point, states need to invest handsome funds to stabilize the various opportunity for people, which they easily engage and help to improve the economy of the country. For example, several global problems are occurring without being unpredictable. Such as climate change, poverty, inequality in society, or serve disaster. In that case, countries need to be trained on how to tackle their domestic problems rather than expecting help from others.

To put, In a nutshell, I pen down saying that in some poor nations, the condition has created a humanitarian crisis that cannot be ignored by rich countries. Therefore, rich countries must be implemented world law to contribute with possible sort of help in worse conditions.

Overall assessment

Why this response received Band 5.5

The response shows a useful attempt to consider both international assistance and domestic priorities, and the COVID-19 example gives one argument concrete relevance. However, the writer’s degree of agreement is inconsistent and several ideas become difficult to follow because of inaccurate wording and sentence construction; the priority is to state one precise position, organize each paragraph around it, and express supporting points in simpler, controlled language.
