IELTS Writing Task 2 in February 2016
More and more young people from wealthy countries are spending a short time in 
communities in poorer countries doing unpaid work such as teaching or building 
houses. 
Why? Who benefit from this, the community or these young people? 
It is true that a growing number of young people from 
affluent
countries are doing 
temporary jobs without payment in less wealthy countries. Reasons for this vary, and I 
believe that both these young individuals and the community 
reap the benefits

There are several reasons why the youth in rich nations tend to do unpaid work in less 
affluent countries. Chief among them is the growth of the 
aviation industry
. The 
emergence of 
low-cost airlines
allows young individuals who are 
on a
tight budget
to 
travel to remote corners of the world. For example, having a voluntary foreign English 
teacher in Sapa, a mountainous area in Vietnam, used to be 
far-fetched
several decades 
ago, but cheap carriers such as Tiger Airlines and Jetstar Airlines have made it happen. 
Another reason is the spread of information. The development of technology has brought 
images and the living condition of poor communities to the richer world, which 
creates an 
urge 
for the young to 
take action
. Many graduates decide to 
take a year out
to help the
