Writing Task 2
| partly agree and partly disagree with the
Statement in the question. Some people such as
business people do earn 4 lot of money and are
incredibly busy, whilst other people are unemployed
and receive no money at all. There is however, a
group of people in the middle such as teachers, a
lot of office workers a5 well a5 all part-time staff
who work less hours and receive 125s income. The
question is - is society as a whole unbalanced?
| think the answer to this question depends on the
society you are talking about. Some countries in
the world such as countries in Westera Europe have
& more equal distribution of income aad have laws
which limit the avmber of hours you can work in 4
week. They also have @ high number of public
holidays and quarantee workers 4 minimum of 20
days holiday per year. Other countries have no such
laws. In the USA, the standard work contract
includes only 10 days holiday per year. In Japan
there is a also very strong work culture which
means that many workers do not take their annual
holidays and do 4 lot of overtime during the week.
In many developing countries there is not enough
work, but that is not to say thak they have ‘time
on their hands’. From my experience) vost people
without 4 job in developing countries ‘spead their
time looking for work in the cities or working on
their own small plot of land in the country. They

have very little time and very little money.
Is there much difference with countries with highly
developed economies? Not aarch in wy view. The cost
of living is very high in industrialised countries so
people working ian these “rich countries’ might earn
& lot of money but they also aced to spend 4 lot
of money to survive.
To sum up, | would say that we do live in & world
that is unbalanced, but it is not so much an
imbalance between those who have time and those
who haven't. The main imbalance in my mind is
between those people who have money and those who
do not. Many “seriously rich’ people, who have
inherited their wealth have lots of money and lots
of free time!
