※ 引述《soundspeed (myway)》之銘言： : Some people think that governments should spend as much money as possible on : developing or buying computer technology. Other people disagree and think : that this money should be spent on more basic needs. Which one of these : opinions do you agree with? Use specific reasons and details to support your : answer. : ======== : Obviously, the topic concerns two issues: one is the extreme investment to : computer science, and the other is a little more contribution to the basic : needs. According to the economic rules, the more is not definitely the xxx : better. It’s not clear to concentrate so much effort on computer technology. : Maybe it would lead to results not so good as human could expect. Meanwhile, : there might be urgent basic requirements deserving immediate economical : resources, like universal health care insurance, or national bailout to the : victims of subprime mortgages. Following explains why I support the second The following ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ : thought described in the topic. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^* *It is generally better to have a fully developed thesis statement instead of simply refering to the topic. : As it is widely known, the benefits may decline when too many resources are ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^* *Depending on the level of familiarity your audience (readers) have with modern economic thoughts, the theory that the opportunity cost increase as more resources are shifted to the production of one particular product (as famously explained by the Production Possibility Frontier Model, among others) might not appear to be so widely known. A little explanation or elaboration may be required. : concentrated on certain events or development. Too much money spending on : increasing numbers or functions of desktop computers could reach certain : saturated condition. For example, if one computer is enough for one child in : an elementary school, it doesn’t make sense to purchase one thousand : computers for a school only capable of one hundred children. The additional : nine hundred computers suddenly turn out to be a kind of waste. : In addition, it is believed that there should be much more depravity : deserving economic aids right away. As anyone can see on daily newspapers : that not everyone is under coverage of universal health care insurance, it is xxxx, not everyone... . There : a shortage of health protection. It’s really tough to imagine that a small : kid may suffer from certain disease just because of not being included in the diseases : insurance. : To conclude, although computer technologies have brought us a very convenient : life, we can’t neglect other basic needs for human, just like national : insurance or something else. We could not over-emphasize computer technology ^^^^^ can/should/must : until necessary and basic requirements are all satisfied. -- 一個學術英文寫作領域的討論板在 PTT （telnet:ptt.cc〉【分組討論區】 --> 11 國家研究院政治, 文學, 學術 --> 科學學術研究院 --> 學術總合研究中心 --> ★ST-English PTT 學術英文/論文寫作班 -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 70.79.36.70
