雅思高分范文:政府资金投向
Some people say that the government should not put money on buildingtheatres and sports stadiums. They should spend more money on medical care and
education.
Do you agree or disagree?
Much discussion concerning allocation of resources assumes that the
government should spend money on medicine and education rather than on theatres
and sports stadiums. In my opinion, this issue should be examined from the angle
of whether the investment benefits the great majority of the population.
The institutions of medical care and education, undoubtedly, should receive
priority in the allocation of a government’s expenditures, at the thought of
millions of children from deprived backgrounds who now get a substandard
education, and who would require a relatively high quality of education if they
are to enjoy anything approaching equality of opportunity in later life. Another
pressing need of society is improvement of medical care for the adult poor, for
the aged, and so forth down the list.
Theatres and sports stadiums are institutions for promoting human culture.
A successful theatrical event is an exciting and stimulating experience, whether
it occurs in a grand theatre or a high school auditorium. Spectators as well as
those involved in the production feel this excitement. Sports stadiums, on the
other hand, attract millions of spectators to watch professionals play every
year. Many more millions watch games on television, read about them in
newspapers, and discuss them with their friends. Therefore, can we say that
these are unnecessary public expenditures the government should ignore?
In conclusion, today man is becoming ever more aware of his spiritual
needs. Medicine and education are needs that we recognize, but are contacts with
theatrical or sports events also basic needs?(250 words)
