雅思大作文：紧迫问题的解决只能依靠国际间合作吗？

Most of the urgent problems can only be solved with international cooperation.
To what extent do you agree or disagree?

In the ever-accelerating process of globalization, the relationship among countries in getting closer and closer and international cooperation is more frequent than before. Some people believe that most of the urgent problems can only be tackled by cooperation of different countries, but I think not all problems need to depend on international cooperation.

Admittedly, international cooperation can handle many urgent problems. For example, global warning has caused many serious problems and needs international cooperation urgently, so it is necessary for foreign countries to work together. Moreover, when it comes to extreme circumstances like tsunami and earthquake, domestic help is far from enough. International help, including food, tents and rescue equipment are in great demand. For example, after a devastating earthquake happened in China in 2008, over 20 countries offered help timely and avoided more casualties.

However, not all problems can be solved by international cooperation. For instance, in some developing countries where people starve to death and die from epidemics, food and medical equipment are in great demand. However, this problem cannot be solved by merely accepting assistance from other countries, which is not a long-term solution. Instead, people there should depend on themselves to improve technology and economy. Additionally, some problems are related to religion and policy which are too sensitive that foreign counties’ help may make the situation worse, so it is much better to leave the problems to themselves.

In conclusion, most countries are now closely connected with each other and many urgent problems can be better handled with international cooperation. However, some problems can only be solved by people from their own countries. It is crucial to distinguish different problems and then decide how to solve them.
