Question

Read the sentences of the essay below. Put them in the correct order. Use the linkers in bold to help you.

Answer

  1. Countries often take pride in their cultural heritage and spend billions on protecting and promoting it.
  2. However, is it really a good idea when they could use the money to improve the lives of their citizens?
  3. On the one hand, it seems obvious that all cultures are worth protecting, since every country has something unique to contribute to the world.
  4. For instance, there are a number of unique languages in central Europe which are spoken by few people. These languages are important to their regions, and they should be protected and promoted, along with the art, music and traditions of these areas.
  5. On the other hand, the physical well-being of a country may have to be the main focus of its government. A country whose population lacks jobs, homes, medical care or education may not be able to afford to preserve or promote their cultural heritage because the population has more urgent needs.
  6. Furthermore, countries which are engaged in conflicts may not be able to focus on cultural matters.
  7. In conclusion, the current circumstances in a country may decide if they can protect their cultural heritage.
  8. Personally, I hope that there will always be individuals who can give their time and energy to preserving culture until circumstances allow the government to take over.
