Some people believe that governments should pay for healthcare and education, but others disagree with this opinion. 

Discuss both these views and give your own opinion.


【话题分类】

政府类


【题目解析】

题目大意:一些人认为政府应该支付医疗和教育费用,但其他人不同意这个观点。讨论双方观点并给出自己的看法。

题型特点:本题属于多方观点讨论题型。考生须针对问题的三个部分作出回应,并注意对三个部分都提供相应的细节展开。

本文结构:开头段引入话题和抛出问题、三个主体段分别回答问题的各个部分,结尾归纳个人立场。

【难点】

构思过程应该注意将话题相关人群(some people和others可能是什么人群,他们的关注点是什么等),更加深入讨论。
【写作思路】
开头段:鉴于医疗保健和教育对任何社会的发展和福祉至关重要,一些人认为,这些基本服务应该由政府资助。然而,这一建议受到了其他人的批评,他们认为个人——而不是政府——应该对自己的福祉负责。这是更好的方法吗?
主体段1:支持由政府资助获得教育和医疗服务的人认为,这些都是基本权利,应该让所有人都能获得,无论他们的经济状况如何。+论据
主体段2:另一方面,其他人认为教育和医疗是私人事务,所以费用应该由个人来承担。+论据
主体段3:在我看来,是否应该向其公民提供免费的医疗和教育,取决于国家的财政和物质资源。+原因解释
结尾段:总之,虽然免费医疗和教育有很多好处,但并非对所有国家来说都适合。是否提供这些服务,最终应该根据每个国家自身的优先考虑和可用资源来作出决定。

考范文

Given that healthcare and education are crucial for the growth and welfare of any society, some people believe that these essential services should be financed by the government. However, this proposal has been criticised by others who believe that individuals, not their government, should be responsible for their own well-being. Is this a better approach?

Supporters of publicly funded access to education and medical services argue that these are fundamental rights and should be available to all, regardless of their financial status. This policy, according to scholars and city councillors in support of the welfare state, will reduce inequality since underprivileged households can be freed from allocating a substantial portion of their budget here. This can also lead to a healthier and more educated workforce, a crucial contributor to productivity boost and ultimately economic growth.

On the other hand, other people believe that education and healthcare are private matters, so their costs should be borne by individuals. Strategic analysts and futurists tend to reason that, given their finite resources and for maximum cost-effectiveness, governments should focus on other areas such as national security and technological progress. Another point is that running publicly funded schools and hospitals will increase the burden on the government, leading to increased taxes and inflation, among other undesirable consequences.

In my opinion, whether a country should provide free access to healthcare and education to its citizens depends on its financial and material resources. Developed nations typically have accumulated substantial funds, technologies, and experience, allowing them to provide these services for free without compromising other national interests. On the other hand, the developing world, struggling with limited resources, may have no alternative but to prioritise other areas such as infrastructure development and job creation instead.

In conclusion, while publicly funded access to healthcare and education can have many benefits, it may not be feasible for all countries. Ultimately, the decision should be made based on the unique priorities and available resources of each nation.
