Task 1:

The bar chart illustrates the rate of native and non-native Australian who
lived in cities, towns and rural areas over a sixty-year period starting
from 1950.
Overall, it is undeniable that while the majority of people born inside
and outside of Australia chose to reside in cities, other places accounted
for just a minimal portion of the total during the time being surveyed.
Specifically, in 1950, the percentage of people born in Australia living in
metropolises was roughly 50 percent while the figures for towns and
rural areas were significantly lower, at 20 and 30 percent respectively.
Similarly, people who were born outside Australia showed identical
trend with 60 percent of them opted to live in cities, 10 percent in towns
and 40 percent in the countrysides.
Over the course of sixty years, although a growth to 65 percent was
witnessed in the proportion of native Australian who lived in cities, that
of towns and rurals areas saw an opposite trend, dropping to about 15
percent each. The figure for non-native Australian residing in cities
increased sharply to 80 percent. Meanwhile, the percentage of people
born outside Australia living in rural areas saw a decrease to 5 percent
and that of towns remained unchanged, at roughly 5 percent.

Task 2: Rich countries often give money to poorer countries, but it does
not solve poverty. Therefore, developed countries should give other
types of help to the poor countries rather than financial aid. To what
extent do you agree or disagree?
In this day and age, although many prosperous nations often offer
underdeveloped ones with monetary incentives, it does not completely
tackle the poverty problem. Some state that rich countries should not
succour the poorer with financial aid but with other types of help such as
providing free-of-charge education. While this thinking is valid to a
certain extent, I believe that poor countries will still benefit the most
from financial support because of the following reasons
On the one hand, as education plays an integral role in the nation’s
economy, children in poor countries should be entitled to formal
education. This is because the knowledge gained from school can help
children overcome many serious societal problems relating to the
economy of a country. For example, a surge in the gross enrollment rate,
prompted by a free-schooling policy, would give rise to a more educated
workforce, which will result in the proliferation of a country’s economy.
This may act as a precursor to not only a thriving economy but also a
civilised society.
However, despite the aforementioned benefits, I would contend that an
underprivileged country will not stand a chance of developing itself
without the provision of finance. Only by receiving financial incentives
from properous nations can underdeveloped countries improve
themselves. With the support from the international funds, poor
countries will have opportunities to develop infrastructures used for
manufacturing and tourism. This will help them attract potential
investors to the country as well as travellers.
In conclusion, I believe that all the support for poor countries to develop
are necessary no matter what types of help.
