The second term examination of english

Level: 2nd year School year: 2021-2022.

Full Name: ……………………………… Mark:………………………..

The Algerian economy is expected to recover in 2022 from the crises caused by
the COVID-19 pandemic. The country however, is expecting many challenges on the way
to achieve prosperity, one of which : the issue of unequal wealth sharing.

Wealth inequality is the uneven distribution of wealth among residents of the same
country. High unemployment for women and youth and inequality among its different
regions is very common is Algeria. Most employees are underpaid and can’t afford
housing. Some people own many houses, while others have to pay rent for years. The
problem of wealth inequality is a dangerous threat to its future since poverty rises as
wealth inequality continues.
Companies, by their very nature, are highly competitive and have no natural
emotions, such as love or the desire to share with others. Companies operate just to
make profits. So it is a responsible government's duty to encourage those companies
that lack the drive to share their wealth to contribute to the general public's well-
being. The obvious tool to do so is taxation in its various forms. 

Algeria had better make efforts to ensure that every citizen gets a fair share of
the nation's wealth. Sharing is a human trait.
