missing

Research

shows

exercising

for just 30 minutes can make you feel good!

Write by hand to help the brain be active.

Although

writing something using a computer is

whole

thing

by

The

2030

Agenda

says that ending poverty in all its forms, including extreme poverty(

极度贫

困

), is the greatest task. Because 1.4 billion people in developing countries live on less than

$$1.25 a day. Another 842 million people, or one in eight people, do not have enough to eat, today.

The good news is that there are ways to end poverty.

Creating jobs, both in the United States and abroad, is a great way to deal with poverty. When

people

have jobs, they have money, and when

people have money, they

can

more easily get themselves

out of poverty. The U.N. says that “For the poor, labor is often the only thing they can use to

improve their well-

being.”

The education of girls and women impacts(

影响) the rest of the societies. A woman’s degree

of

education

is

linked

to

the

age

at

which

she

marries

and

has

children,

to

her

health

and

diseases.

Educating girls and women can end poverty in developing nations, as well as in the United States.

The United States hasn’t raised the lowest pay since 2007. Because of this, right now, “A

full-time worker with two children getting the lowest pay will still raise his or her family in

poverty.” And this is a problem in almost every other country, especially in developing nations.

Raising the lowest pay could possibly increase the health and well-being of millions.

The president of the World Bank, Jim Yong Kim, says that he believes “health care covering

in all countries can help achieve a goal of ending extreme poverty by 2030.” He says that health

care

could

end

poverty.

Because

about

100

million

people

are

pushed

into

extreme

poverty

every

year

by having to spend money on health problems, and health problems push about another 150 million

into very serious hardship.

These

ways

to

end

poverty

show

that

while

there

is

a

difficult

road

ahead,

there

is

a

practical

path forward.
