Team 1:

Charlotte:

Poverty is when people don’t have enough money or things they need to live. We should concern this social problem. It can be hard for people in poverty to buy food, clothes, and a place to live. Some kids might not be able to  have proper education because of poverty. This affects their upward mobility.

Holiday:

Children living in poverty may not have the same opportunities to learn as other children. They might not have access to the same resources, such as books or technology. This can make it harder for them to learn the things they need to know so to improve their future.

Phoebe:

Providing access to educational resources and child care services to help break the cycle of poverty. Educational resources such as books, computers and other technology they need could help to succeed in school.  

Matthew:

Children living in poverty often come from families with limited access to books. This could limit their development in reading and comprehension skills. Providing access to books and reading materials can help level the playing field. This also gives these children the chance to improve their academic capacity.

 It’s important to help people who are struggling with poverty so they can have a better life. Thank You!

Team 2:
Jayden Lin:

Grace:

People should concern poverty. Poverty means people don’t have enough money or resources to live a normal life. Children living in a poor family may not have enough food or a warm place to sleep. 

Kobe:

Poverty could also cause stress to children. Family with poor living condition is stressful. Children in a stressful family is hard to focus in class. It could then lead to a poor academic result. If they lose the chance to further their study, their future will be limited.

Vania:

To solve it, we suggest government to provide places at cheaper rent. It could help the family to improve their living. With a stable living place, children could focus at their study.

Calix:

Also, we could help people in poor by organising things they need. For example, providing child care service could free the parents so they could work. With more income, it could improve their living standard. 

It’s important to help people who are struggling with poverty. Our help could assist them to stay healthy and be happy. Thank you!
