IELTS Writing practice 2 One of the reasons why hunger and poverty still exist in many parts of the developing world is the continuing use of outdated, subsistence farming methods. These countries should change over to modern, large-scale farming of cash crops for the export market. To What extent do you agree or disagree? It is commonly believed that hunger and poverty is a problem in many developing regions because those regions are still using outdated methods of farming and experts think that modernizing those methods would help the growth of that countries. Nonetheless, I consider this is not the solution for a denser problem as I explain next. Even though improving the methods that are used to farm could help to produce more food and to distribute it to a wider population, this by itself would not solve the hunger problem and poverty of a region. There are more complex causes that need to be eradicated before improving farming methods. One can start with solving corruption problems that could be the main cause why the resources are not being used to improve the common wealth of the population; making stricter penalties would help. A government with a transparent system that works in benefit of its people could invest more in the development of all of them. With more resources the second to think about should be building more fabrics for improving the industry, so in that way this could help to create more jobs and make the economy move. The fabrics and an improved industry require trained people, so the next would be to raise the people skills and knowledge. Government should invest in improving the education system. As a result of all this the economy of the regions would be stronger, there would be more jobs and qualified employees to take them. Just after this regions could invest in updating its farming methods and industries related. In conclusion, to solve the hunger and poverty problem in developing regions, there should be more transparent governments that focus in improving industry to offer more jobs as well as improve the education of its people, so they could have better skills, and at the end this people would help the region to solve their problems.
