2016年1月9日雅思写作B卷题目：【教育类+政府类】
　　Most government money should be invested in teaching science rather than any other subjects in order for a country to develop and progress?大多数政府的财政应该投资于理科教育这样，而不是其他科目，这样国家才能发展和进步，是否认同?

　　【背景介绍的词汇替换】
　　1. government money = national budget 国家预算
　　2. should = ought to = be supposed to 应该
　　3. be invested in = allocate money to sth 将钱分配给
　　4. teaching science = focus on the education of science subjects 学习理科
　　5. rather than = instead of 不是……
　　6. any other subjects = arts n.文科
　　7. in order for = so that = for the purpose of 为了……的目的
　　8. a country = a nation = a state 一个国家
　　9. develop= become mighty = become powerful = become influential 发展和强大
　　10. progress = make great progress 取得进步

　　【清晰概念】
　　理科的含义：计算机，商科，会计，数学，经济学，物理，化学
　　其他科目的含义：文学，历史，哲学，美术，音乐，体育

　　【谋篇布局】
　　[首段]：背景(引入名人名言)+争议(句式引导)+目的(直接亮出观点)
　　培根说：知识就是力量，教育在个人成长以及国家发展中发挥了日益重要的作用。教育是生产力发展的驱动力，认识到这一点，很多国家政府高度重视人才的培养。关于政府的教育预算是应该投资理科还是其他科目，人们一直没有停止争议。我认为，理想的教育预算的分配应该是理科文科并重的。
　　[二段]：让步国家投资理科教育的利好
　　的确，我们很容易找到例子和理由去支持国家投资理科。第一，国家的竞争某种程度上就是人才的竞争。科技是生产力发展的驱动力，大量科技人才的培养可以为国家的发展和强大注入新鲜的活力。第二，比之文科生，具有计算机，商科，会计背景的人才可以创造更多的经济价值。
　　[三段]：提出也要学习文科的理由和意义
　　然而，认为国家的教育投资应该仅仅局限于理科不是其他科目，是肤浅的。国家的强大含义含义很广，人的培养也应该是以实现全面发展为目标。国家建设需要企业家，数学家，科学家，但是也不能忽视艺术家，作家，画家和音乐家的巨大作用。除了理科，文史哲，音乐美术体育，也应该成为教育的目标。文学可以增强人的文化底蕴，历史加深对于事物的洞察，哲学培养人的辩证思维，音乐陶冶人的情操，美术培养人的艺术眼光，体育提高人的健康指数。教育不应该有太强的功利目的，更应该重视人的精神成长和性格培养。所以，除了理科，文科同意有学习的价值，文科人才对于国家进步同意意义非凡。
　　[尾段]：文科理科并重才能实现教育的全面发展
　　我认为，教育不应该有太强的功利目的，更应该重视人的精神成长和性格培养。理性的国家教育预算应该是文科理科并重。

　　【范文赏析】：
　　Knowledge is power, Francis bacon wrote long ago. Education has a key to play in one’s growth and a nation’s development.
　　Education is the driving force of productivity. Keeping this in mind, numerous countries and governments are paying closer attention to the cultivation of talents. People differ greatly in their views as to how to wisely allocate educational budget, some people assert that instead of supporting other subjects, national investment in science is desirable. As I see it, government should place equal stress on both science and arts.
　　Granted, plenty of evidence and arguments could be easily found to prove that it is advisable for a nation to subsidize science. For a start, the competition among different countries, to some extent, amounts to the competition of gifted people. Science and technology is the stimulating factor of the development of productivity. Large amounts of talents could inject new life into a nation’s prosperity. Besides, in comparison with art students, those who are better equipped with science knowledge such as computer, business and accounting could create more commercial value.
　　Nevertheless, it is rather superficial to simply say that national budget should be only restricted to science investment. The mightiness of a nation involves many aspects and the cultivation of good citizens or talents is to realize one’s comprehensive development. The construction of a country needs enterprisers, mathematicians and scientist, yet, on no account can we ignore the immense value of artists, writers, musicians. In addition to science subjects, literature, history, philosophy, music, art and PE should also become the aim of education. Literature strengthens one’s cultural deposit, history deepens one’s insight into life, philosophy fosters one’s analytical thinking, music moulds one’s temperament, art cultivates one’s artistic eye and PE enhances one’s health index. In these senses, art still deserves enough attachment and support. Art talents are indispensable to the betterment of a country.
　　Overall, I re-affirm my conviction that education should not have too much utilitarian, conversely, it needs to render more concerns over one’s spiritual growth and character-training. Ideal educational policy should place equal significance on science investment and other subjects. (350)
