IV. Reading Comprehension (each 2%, total 30%)
Economists are debating whether donating substantial amounts of money to poor
nations is helpful in the long run. Most economists feel that, at best, aid has produced
only mixed results. Despite the fact that the priority should be to create infrastructure
such as roads, schools, and others to help the education, health, and business sectors,
what often happens is that incompetent and corrupt officials end up misusing or
stealing the money. Another problem is that countries can become too dependent on
foreign aid. Often, funds from donor nations end up being ineffectively used, and this
puts people in rural areas at a disadvantage. Some experts argue that, overall, foreign
aid has produced a brighter picture by reducing global poverty. They believe that rich
nations should continue to do the best they can to help the poor. By monitoring foreign
aid expenditure, we can prevent its misuse and aim to provide support for poor
countries so that they can eventually achieve economic empowerment and donate
money to others in turn.
