題目 Some people think the government should pay for health care and education, but others believe it is not the responsibility of the government. Discuss both views and give your own opinion. （23/2/18）
複現情況
基本重複2016年3月19日原題，但2016年舊題僅(jin) 涉及醫療，本次題目中同時包括醫療和教育。答題思路可以完全相同。
解析
本題為(wei) 老題目。題目的關(guan) 鍵點是：關(guan) 於(yu) 醫療和教育費用，是應該免費，還是應該自己支付？關(guan) 於(yu) 這個(ge) 題目，烤鴨們(men) 顯然都有很多話可說。在中國，關(guan) 於(yu) 這個(ge) 話題隨處可見，沒想到國外考試，也問起這樣的話題，看來醫療和教育費用到底該誰來買(mai) 單，是一個(ge) 世界性的話題。
題目要求進行雙邊討論。那麽(me) ，我們(men) 就應該先考慮政府支付的好處和壞處，然後考慮自己支付的好處和壞處，最後提出自己的觀點。
那麽(me) ，免費醫療和教育有哪些好處呢？可以想到的就是，如果免費，人們(men) 就不會(hui) 再擔憂昂貴的醫療費用和教育費用，尤其是對於(yu) 社會(hui) 上那些難以支付的人來說，他們(men) 的身體(ti) 健康和教育就能得到比較好的保障，進而言之，他們(men) 的幸福感就會(hui) 增加，而整個(ge) 社會(hui) 的和諧程度就隨之增加。但是，這樣的政策會(hui) 給國家的財政帶來巨大的負擔，從(cong) 而減少政府在科技，環保等方麵的投資。這個(ge) 點比較容易想到，也容易論證。
再考慮自己支付醫療和教育費用有哪些好處？自己支付可以減輕政府的財政壓力，但壞處就是貧窮的人可能得不到較好的治療和教育。這點也不難想到。
考慮到這兩(liang) 個(ge) 方麵後，我覺得可以提出這樣的觀點：醫療和教育費用是否免費應該根據不同人群的收入狀況。對於(yu) 那些高收入人群來說，他們(men) 應該自己支付；但對於(yu) 那些低收入家庭而言，政府應該最大限度地負責。這樣社會(hui) 才會(hui) 更公平，更和諧。這樣的結論體(ti) 現的是一種批判性思維：並不一刀切地認為(wei) 該還是不該，而是討論不同條件下的不同選擇。
高分範文
Should health care and educationbe made available free of charge for all people, or should people pay by themselves? This is a question that confronts many governments nowadays in the world.
On the one hand, many people hold the opinion that the government should be responsible for the citizens' health care and education. They argue that, if the health care and education were made free, people would not have to worry about the expensive health care and education costs. This is particularly important for those economically underprivileged. With free health care and education, they can go to hospital whenever they find there is anything wrong with their health, or receive any education they deem necessary for them without having to worry about money. This will naturally enhance their sense of well-being and the entire society will become much more harmonious.
On the other hand, there are many others who think people should pay for their own health and education. Free health care and education, in their opinion, will impose a huge amount of financial burden on the government budget, which should go to such important sectors as scientific development and environmental protection.
If people have to pay for their own health care and education, I think many problems may arise. The most serious one is that those poor people cannot enjoy satisfactory services because they are not able to afford them. Taking this factor into account, we may safely conclude that whether health care and education should be made free or not is dependent upon the people who receive them. If a man is rich enough, he should be made to pay; but if a man is not rich enough, the government should make sure that he receives his medical care and education. Only by doing so can all people, rich and poor, enjoy the same opportunities in health care and education, and thus live in a more just, peaceful, and harmonious world.
