Eileen老師（叫我小艾~）：

介 紹：滬江網(wǎng)校留學(xué)方向資深講師。因其輕松活潑寓教于樂的授課風(fēng)格，被數(shù)萬網(wǎng)校托雅學(xué)員親切地稱為小艾老師。畢業(yè)于中國外語第一學(xué)府——北京外國語大學(xué)，英語語言文學(xué)碩士，畢業(yè)后一直鉆研于英語教學(xué)，具有非常豐富的托福雅思授課經(jīng)驗(yàn)，主講聽力和寫作，幫助很多學(xué)員在托福和雅思的考試中取得優(yōu)秀的成績，順利留學(xué)海外。

為了給大家加油鼓勁，Eileen老師親自動(dòng)爪寫了一篇作文，希望能幫迷失在作文題海中的孩子們找回一點(diǎn)方向啦！

據(jù)Eileen觀察，最近“政府投資類”（government funding）話題有點(diǎn)兒紅，而這恰恰又是很多同學(xué)覺得無話可說，最容易栽跟頭的題型。下面就請(qǐng)大家跟我一起來看這樣一道政府投資題吧：

【題目】

Some people think the government should spend more money on public services rather than wasting money on art.

To what extent do you agree or disagree with this statement?

這題要討論的是：政府應(yīng)該為藝術(shù)發(fā)展買單，還是應(yīng)該專注民生，完善公共服務(wù)。那像這類題目，雙方都很難完全否定，因此“一邊倒”的寫法并不容易。

范文采取的是更容易下手的雙面寫法，即“雙方都肯定，重點(diǎn)討論有爭(zhēng)議的一方”。

【范文】

(1) With the development of modern society, governments are allocating more funds to building art galleries, theatres or supporting the life and work of artists. Some people disapprove the governments’ decisions and insist that the money should be spent on public services to improve people’s living standard in a more direct way. In my view, however, although funding public services is essential to social development, art is also an indispensable part of the society that should be valued.

(2) It is true that establishing public services is the top priority of the government. It provides for basic human needs and guarantees the stability of the society. In China, people have been relying on public services since the day of birth. They receive education in schools founded and supported by the government. When they are sick, the government helps paying for the medical care. Besides, everybody enjoys the public facilities like highways, parks, libraries and so forth which all come from government investments.

(3) However, this does not mean that the government spending money on art is unnecessary. Although people do not feed on art, it is still their natural instinct to pursue beauty. Once the survival needs are met, people start seeking spiritual fulfillments by creating and appreciating art, which helps them to calm down and relax after long hours of labor. Naturally, apart from bread and milk, the government should also take care of the spiritual life of common people.

(4) Admittedly, with successful commercialised operation, many art groups perform well and do not need the financial support from the government. Yet, there are still ones that depend on government funding. For example, Peking Opera, which is a valuable cultural inheritance of China, might not have survived and thrived without the promotion by the government. It is the same with many other art forms of art all over the world.

(5) In conclusion, it is the government’s duty to facilitate public services that provide for the basic needs of citizens. Nevertheless, art is also an important part of human life and deserves equal attention and support from the government.

【解析】

這篇文章中，Eileen采用了經(jīng)典的“五段式”。

開頭是標(biāo)準(zhǔn)的“引入-對(duì)方觀點(diǎn)-我方論點(diǎn)”模式，提出核心論點(diǎn)：“雖然公共服務(wù)對(duì)社會(huì)發(fā)展至關(guān)重要，但藝術(shù)也是社會(huì)生活中不可或缺的重要環(huán)節(jié)?！?/p>

三個(gè)主體段的分配如下：

1. public service的重要性

2. art也是人們生活中的重要環(huán)節(jié)

3. 確實(shí)有一些藝術(shù)團(tuán)體通過商業(yè)運(yùn)作可以自給自足，無需政府補(bǔ)貼，但仍有一些藝術(shù)門類需要政府的支持（舉例，如京劇，Peking Opera）→對(duì)爭(zhēng)議點(diǎn)的解釋

結(jié)尾簡(jiǎn)要總結(jié)主要觀點(diǎn)。

當(dāng)然啦，這里給出的只是一種可能寫法。Eileen期待看到你的思考，一起討論哦~
