Please help my with my essay about poverty Thank you all

Every country has poor people and every country has different ways

of dealing with the poor.

What are some of the reasons for world poverty? What can we

do to help the poor?

You should write at least 250 words.

Poverty is an issue for every country and society. According to the report of the United Nations, over one billion people live from hand to mouth.

Every country tries to solve the problems connected with the poverty.

In my opinion, the reason for poverty is corruption which is widespread in many countries. In actual fact, only developed countries, where level of corruption is low, successfully cope with poverty.

Let's compare New Zealand and a former Soviet Republic, Azerbaijan . It is no coincidence that I have chosen these two countries. From my firsthand experience, I can definitely tell about government programs which is implemented to support people who are in need.

My distant relative lives in New Zealand. After emigration 10 years ago she could not find a job because of poor knowledge of the English language. She had to apply for the help to the authorities of New Zealand and at once she got unemployment benefit on which she could afford to rent a decent three- room apartment, food and even some entertainments for her two children at weekends. She also was given a no-repayable grant for her education.

She had been on benefit for 9 years and all these year the country, of which she even had no citizen but only the permission for residence, supported her and helped her to learn to stand on her feet.

Now let's consider my friend who lives in Azerbaijan. She is a citizen of Azerbaijan and has got three children. Unfortunately, she became a widow several years ago and in addition, she is homeless. Of course, she got a benefit but it is enough only to buy food for a week. She had to work at two jobs in order to be able to rent a one room flat in a seedy and squalid part of the city without basic conveniences such as hot running water and heating . She and her children hardly manage to survive.

To sum up, I want to underline that only developed countries with healthy economy and highly developed democratic values do utmost to support people when they go through difficult time in their lives and in this way they struggle with poverty in their societies.

As for developing countries, their governments should effectively struggle with corruption in order beat poverty in their societies.

Hi, A few quick comments. You have too many very short paragraphs. Some of them seem like they can be combined into one.

Every country tries to solve the problems with the poverty in its own way. Some are quite successful in their fight with poverty while others hardly manage with it.

Hi,

When I put 'no article', I mean that you had an article there and you should remove it.

eg Don't say helping to overcome the poverty.

Say helping to overcome poverty.
