Government aid
Third draft
There are many debates surrounding the issue of global organizations aiding poor nations. Those who support financial resource tend to emphasise on its benefits, but the others, myself included, prefer providing technical and practical assistance.
To begin with, technology is the main driving force for economic development. For instance, Africa's farming industry has increased dramatically since the past thirty years by adopting the most advanced farming technology offered by World Bank. In addition, technology plays a pivotal role in establishing a long term economic model. Without irrigated farming technology, Africa could not develop its independent agriculture industry to meet its own need. Furthermore, practical advice is an effective measure to minimize the gap between developed and developing countries. If poor countries can avoid the same mistakes that wealthy countries made before, it would be beneficial for poor countries saving their limited resource in improving citizen's living condition and infrastructure. A good example to illustrate this is the poor countries take the advice from World Health Organization. They control wide spread disease, such as malaria, at the early stage before the disease exert detrimental effect on poor countries.
Admittedly, financial aid has certain positive effect on supporting needy countries in a short term. However, without tracking monetary assistance, it would lead to corruption or the poor countries may even purchase weapons.
Overall, ensuring poor countries can adopt modern technology offered by international organization and following the practical advice are the most important factors to built a sustain economical model in undeveloped countries.

Nuclear
We have been living in the nuclear age for over half a century. Since the first atomic bombs were developed, nuclear technology has provided governments with the ability to totally destroy the planet. Yet the technology has been put to a positive use as an energy source and in certain areas of medicine.
To what extent is nuclear technology a danger to life on Earth? What are the benefits and the risks associated with its use?
Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge and experience.
Write at least 250 words
I believe that utilizing nuclear can bring certain risk to our planet. However, technology, including nuclear, is a double edge sward. It is generally recognised that if we can master this kind of technology, it will bring numerous benefits to our human being. For instance, nuclear energy and radiation for cancer cure are two of those obvious benefits.
Nuclear energy is considered as one of the clean resource for the next century. A small amount of nuclear resource can generate a great deal of electricity. Most importantly, its waste is only water and exhaust from the process of nuclear reaction. Thus, many developed countries use nuclear as a source of energy. For instance, nuclear generated power accounts for 30 percent of France's total energy generation.
In addition, nuclear radiation can be used for curing cancer and x-ray. It has been 40 years since radiation was used as a main method for this disease. With the use of this technology, many people extend their life. Even it might bring some side effects to patients, it is still considered as a practical way to cure cancer.
In terms of introducing risks for our planet, nuclear might lead to leakage of radiation. Some nuclear disasters may remind human the hazard of this technology. But if human can manage this technology well, it can minimize the risks during utilization of this technology.
Overall, the main point of this issue is to ensure nuclear can be used in a safe way. Without the use of this technology, we cannot manage this technology and reduce the risk to certain level.
