【慎小嶷——十天突破雅思寫作】政府類真題7分范文三

Currently, the armament race is still intense among major powers, which takes up enormous sums of money and research resources. I believe national security is of vital importance to all nations. The real concern should be “How much money should be spent on national defence?" Reasonable amounts of money should be spent on developing military technology and keeping enough soldiers to ensure the safety of a country. Take the fall of the Roman Empire as an example. Even though it was due to a variety of reasons, the most direct one was that its army was too weak to prevented from being destroyed by foreign invaders. Today, with the trend of globalization conflicts between countries are frequent. A country would not have lasting development without an effective national-defence system. Another reason for supporting investment in national defence is that the technology developed for military use can often serve civil purposes as well. Take CDMA for example, it used to be telecommunications technology developed by the US army. But now, as it has been deployed across the world, millions of people are benefiting from the clear voice communication that it has brought. On the other hand, there are countries that put too much money on military forces. Destructive weapons have been invented, so powerful that they can destroy the earth several times. How much money would be reasonable for national defence budgets. It remains the question, but one thing is for sure, no country can afford to ignore its national defence.
