Rich countries like the United States and the Great Britain often give money to some poorest countries in Africa as a kind of financial relief. Many people hold that this is not the best way to solve the poverty problem. I strongly support this idea and think rich countries should deliver other types of aid (intellectual and technological, for instance) so as to eliminate the poverty in poor countries.

For those living in extreme poverty, money can indeed save their lives by giving them enough food and clothes. However, it has been found that money alone cannot essentially solve the poverty and those countries dependent on foreign financial aid have remained poor no matter how much money they have received. This is probably because money can only relieve the poor countries of their present problems, but cannot solve their poverty permanently. Once the money is used up, they will return to poverty.  

To eradicate poverty fundamentally, therefore, rich countries should give other types of help. It would be better, for instance, that they send educationalists to the poor countries and help raise their overall educational level, for only an educated country can be really rich. Meanwhile, as science and technology is key to improving a country’s economic strength, rich countries can help poor ones by making them technologically more advanced. This is exactly what China is doing in many African countries. Instead of just giving money, China helps these countries with their education, technology, and infrastructure, and as a result, they are becoming more and more wealthy.

To conclude, though we cannot say money is totally of no use to address poverty, it is not effective, especially compared to other types of aid. My suggestion, then, is that rich countries provide intellectual and technological aid to poor countries and offer financial aid only when it is extremely necessary.

像美国和英国这样的富裕国家经常捐钱给非洲一些最贫穷的国家，作为一种经济救援。许多人认为这不是解决贫困问题的办法。我非常支持这一想法，并认为富国应该提供其他类型的援助（例如智力和技术援助），以消除贫穷国家的贫困。

对于那些生活在极端贫困中的人来说，金钱确实可以给他们足够的食物和衣服来拯救他们的生命。然而，人们发现，单靠金钱无法根本解决贫困，那些依赖外国经济援助的国家无论收到多少钱，都仍然很穷。这可能是因为钱只能缓解穷国目前的问题，但不能解决其贫困。一旦钱用完了，它们就会重新陷入贫困。

 因此，为了从根本上消除贫困，富国应该给予其他类型的帮助。例如，他们把教师派送到贫穷国家去帮助提高其整体教育水平，因为只有教育好，国家才能真正富有。同时，由于科学技术是提高一个国家经济实力的关键，富国可以帮助穷国使其在技术上更先进。这正是中国在许多非洲国家所做的。中国不仅提供资金，还帮助这些国家的教育、技术和基础设施，结果，这些国家变得越来越富有。

最后，虽然我们不能说金钱对解决贫穷毫无用处，但它并不有效，特别是与其他类型的援助相比。因此，我的建议是富国应该向穷国提供智力和技术援助，只有在极端必要时才提供经济援助。
