今天给大家分享一道独立写作题目,2021.1.20考过,2021.3.29托福家庭版也考到了这道题,有一定难度哦~题目比较长,审题一定要仔细。垃圾食品会让人不健康,有的人认为应该给这些垃圾食品征税使其更贵,这样会减少人们的购买,并且为未来医疗保健费用筹集资金。而其他人认为不应该征税。你怎么看?
Foods and drinks that contain high levels of sugar, salt, or fats have harmful health effects when consumed in great quantities. Some people believe that governments should make these unhealthy foods and drinks more expensive by taxing them. The tax (money paid to the government) would discourage consumption of unhealthy foods and drinks and raise money for future health-care costs. Other people believe that consumers buying foods and drinks should not pay any additional tax, even if the foods or drinks are unhealthy. Which viewpoint do you agree with, and why?
选不应该征税:
分论点1:效果不佳,可能会让许多人更不健康
(e.g. 有的穷人因为税收高了,会选择更不健康的食物来减少开支;e.g. 有的人已经习惯于吃不健康的食物,哪怕更贵他们也还是会吃并且花更多钱,反而减少了他们在健康食物和医疗上的花费,导致更不健康)
分论点2:会增加人们的经济负担,尤其是对低收入者。
分论点3:政府收税来”raise money for future health-care cost”,政府可能会因为依赖这笔税收而不能有效制止人们这种不健康饮食行为。
