Many people believe that a country's wealth
is dependent on the health of its citizens.

Other people argue that education is a better
indicator of a nation's wealth and well-being.

What are some other factors that contribute
to the growth and prosperity of a country?

Give reasons for your answer and include any
relevant examples from your own knowledge

It has often been said that the wealth of
a nation depends on the health of its citizens.

In modern society, knowledge and education
are also increasingly important factors behind

In my opinion, healthcare and education are
equally important priorities of a government.

Firstly, in order for a country to be economically
strong, citizens must have access to good

If a citizen is unhealthy and weak, it can
be assumed that that individual is not contributing

his or her potential energy, optimum work
abilities and knowledge to his or her community.

By providing quality healthcare, a government
can ensure that each citizen is as healthy

In this way, both developing and developed
countries create stronger individual citizens

Good education is equally important in modern
societies.

In order for a country to advance in any area,
its citizens must be educated so that they

can actively contribute new ideas to the workforce
and to the economy.

For example, over the past two decades, advances
in technology have helped nations like India

and China, among many others, to create strong
economies and a better standard of living

These advances in technology and the business
opportunities created from them are directly

Aside from healthcare and education, other
factors also contribute to the development

For example, abundant natural resources, positive
relationships with other nations leading to

trade, efficient metropolitan infrastructures
and a strong agricultural sector are all factors

However, I still believe that healthcare and
education are the two most important priorities

of any government, because if the healthcare
and education systems of a nation are effective,

then all other areas of an economy are positively
affected.

In conclusion, in my opinion, quality healthcare
and education systems are equally important

The quality of computer language translation
has improved significantly in recent years.

it is not necessary for children to learn
a foreign language.

In recent years, computer technology has advanced
significantly.

Now we can communicate with people who speak
different languages with the use of computer

Despite the development of these useful resources,
I disagree that children should not learn

foreign languages, because learning another
language can not only help an individual better

understand their own language, but also communicate
on both personal and cultural levels.

Firstly, learning a foreign language is often
a helpful way to get a better insight into

For example, from personal experience, I found
that learning Italian was useful in the acquisition

of more vocabulary in my native language:
Spanish.

While computers can help translate Spanish
into Italian, if I had exclusively used computers

to translate for me, I would not have gained
further knowledge of my own and other languages,

like English and German, which also share
some similar word formations.

In this way, learning foreign languages has
many advantages beyond just communication.

Secondly, computerised translation software
can help people translate foreign text or

even converse with a person who speaks a different
language, but computers cannot communicate

For example, one of my closest friends speaks
Italian as a first language.

We could consult our computers to have a conversation,
but our conversations are richer and more

interesting when we attempt to communicate
by actually speaking to each other.

Also, we are able to share the different aspects
of our cultures and home countries, the taste

of our native dishes and the expressions unique
to our local dialects, all things which our

In conclusion, I disagree with people who
believe that computer translation is sufficient

for communication between people who speak
different languages.

I believe children should be taught foreign
languages to broaden their knowledge and to

help them communicate with people of other
cultures.

Many people believe that strong tradition
helps to civilise a nation and that governments

should therefore subsidise musicians, theatre
companies, actors and artists.

Explain whether you agree or disagree with
this statement and what you think governments

should do to promote the traditional cultural
heritage of a country.

Answer:
Many countries' cultures are preserved by

the strong tradition inherent in the music,
art and theatre of that country.

It has been argued that the government should
pay to promote the uniqueness of a country's

culture by subsidising the artists, musicians
and actors which keep culture alive.

I agree that a government should fund its
citizens' cultural pursuits, since part

of a government's responsibility includes
the preservation of its people's own unique

If a government wants to preserve and maintain
the art and music which is historically traditional

to its country, then it must take steps to
ensure that those traditions are valued and
