    Yes:
    Financial beneficence from rich countries could help poor countries accelerate their infrastructural construction.
    When some rich countries donate large sums of money to those needy countries, more job opportunities could be created and thus the living standards of people in those countries could be improved.
    In 1999, only 50 percent of Tanzanian children went to primary schools. Now the figure is over 90 percent. There are similar stories in other underdeveloped African countries. How did this happen? Because the elected government of Tanzania chose to expand educational opportunities by using the donation from other countries.
    No:
    Financial aid might make needy countries become over-dependent on donors because money can only solve temporary problems.
    International aid might bring about political interference and economic exploitation. If poor countries want to become richer with the help of rich countries, a prerequisite they must accept is to buy goods from donors. As a matter of fact, countries that benefit the most are not the poor countries but the rich ones.
    Concerns about the weakness of poor countries’ government systems for budgeting and accounting have led some donors to resist providing aid to them.

答案 My View on Financial Aid for Poor Countries The role of foreign financial aid in the development of poor countries has always been a topic of intense debate. It is believed that financial aid is the best way to help poor countries since it can benefit the poverty-stricken nations directly in infrastructural construction, primary education, employment and so on. Although the economic assistance contributes greatly to poverty reduction of the recipients, it may inevitably bring about many negative impacts, such as political interference and economic exploitation. As I see it, financial aid is indeed effective, but it is not applicable to every beneficiary country. For one thing, it helps to resume the economic operation and stabilize the national economy of the war-ravaged countries, but it’s not a long lasting approach for countries at peace to solve problems and sustain a healthy development. For another, there are other forms of aid that developed countries can provide for needy countries. For instance, volunteer teachers can be sent to improve the local education, which will have a far-reaching impact on the development of those countries. In short, international aid should not only be about satisfying poor countries’ financial demands in the short run, but also aim at promoting their healthy development in the long term.
解析     本题讨论的是经济援助是否是让贫困国家健康、持续发展的最有效的援助方式。在具体行文方面，考生应首先概述正反双方的观点。然后给出自己的观点，说明经济援助确实有效，但并不适用于所有受惠国。并阐述理由。最后总结全文。
    开头部分引出话题，并概述正反双方的观点。正方观点：经济援助是最好的方式，因为它能让贫困国家在许多方面直接获益，如基础设施建设、基础教育、就业等。反方观点：经济援助不可避免地会带来许多负面影响。如政治干预及经济剥削。
    中间部分通过“As I see it…”阐述自己的观点：经济援助确实有效，但并不适用于所有受惠国。并用“For one thing…”和“For another…”阐述理由：捐款能够使遭受战乱的国家恢复经济的正常运转，并确保国家经济的稳定。但这对处于和平时期的国家而言并非解决问题和维持良性发展的长远之计：还有许多其他的援助方式是发达国家能够提供给贫困国家的，如派遣教师志愿者去不发达的国家改善当地的教育水平，这将对这些国家的发展产生深远的影响。
    结尾部分通过“In short…”总结全文。
