You should spend about 40 minutes on this task. Write about the following topic.
More and more young people from wealthy countries are spending a short time doing unpaid work such as teaching or building houses for communities in poorer countries.
Why young people choose to do so? Who will benefit more: young people or the communities?
Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your knowledge or experience. Write at least 250 words.
There is a growing number of young people from rich countries coming to less developed countries to participate in voluntary projects. There are some underlying reasons for this, and both volunteers and the community gain equal benefits.
The phenomenon can be attributable to two principal factors. First, short trips to less developed nations to aid the local communities bring about a great deal of rewarding experience. For example, when young people from wealthy nations visit underprivileged regions in Iran, they can have profound understanding of the misery and hardship of the impoverished. This therefore fosters a great sense of humanity and altruism. Second, this situation is linked to the fact that young people want their resume to be polished by getting involved in social activities such as teaching or providing accommodation for the poor.
Not only people who travel to third world countries to do voluntary work but also the local community benefit from this particular practice. Obtaining new experiences and possessing a clear advantage in applying for jobs, those people are more likely to develop spiritually and to succeed in future career. On the other hand, the local community can have a chance to heighten social living standards, even though the impact of such a practice can be relatively small and, in most cases, temporary.
In conclusion, the young from first world countries move to underdeveloped ones to do unpaid work in order to gain new experience and enhance future employment. It seems that both volunteers and the area that receives help can gain some certain values.
