B1 Model Answer (Essay):

In my opinion, there are many social problems in our world today, but inequality is the most important one. In every city, some people are very rich while others have no home.

First, we can help by donating things we don't need. For example, giving old clothes or food to a local charity is a great idea. Second, volunteering is very useful. You can spend two hours a week helping at a soup kitchen.

Finally, I think the government should create more jobs for young people. In conclusion, if we all work together, we can make our city a better and fairer place for everyone.

Strategy: Usar conectores de contraste (Nevertheless, Despite, On the contrary) y oraciones de relativo.

Key Vocab (B2): Wealth gap, underprivileged, social exclusion, welfare state, standard of living, discrimination.

B2 Model Answer (Essay):

The gap between the rich and the poor is widening at an alarming rate in most developed countries. This inequality is not only a financial issue but also a threat to social stability.

Firstly, education is the most powerful tool to reduce this gap. If every child, regardless of their background, had access to high-quality universities, they would have the same opportunities to succeed. However, in many places, education is becoming overpriced and inaccessible.

Secondly, many experts argue that the tax system should be more progressive. This means that wealthy individuals and large corporations should contribute more to support the welfare state. Consequently, the government could invest more in public services like healthcare and housing.

On the other hand, some people believe that total equality is impossible in a capitalist system. Nevertheless, we must strive to reduce extreme poverty.

To conclude, although ending inequality is a complex challenge, it can be achieved through better education and fairer government policies. Taking action now is essential for a sustainable future.
