托福獨立寫作難點話題思路解讀和高分范文賞析：computer technology or basic needs

　　Spend money on developing or buying computer technology, or on more basic needs?

　　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.

　　寫作思路展開結(jié)構(gòu)分析

　　這道題目把電腦科技和基礎(chǔ)需求放在一起進行比較，其實是有點偏頗的。因為對于basic needs這個概念其實不同人的理解都應該是有差別的。而且電腦技術(shù)的發(fā)展本身也能夠帶動經(jīng)濟發(fā)展，進而改善和滿足基礎(chǔ)需求，所以還是比較建議大家選擇電腦技術(shù)這個角度來展開。

　　本話題高分范文賞析

　　I believe that governments spend too much money on new computer technologies, when they should be focusing on the needs or people in their countries. There are a number of reasons why I think this would be a better usage of a country's money. Throughout the world, there are millions and millions of people who are homeless, and cannot afford to eat. These people need help from the government. If the government has so much money to spend on computer technology, they should easily be able to have enough money to help these people gain entry to the working world. The government could set up programs which allow homeless people to train for jobs. This would be a much better way to spend money than building computers. Pollution is another major problem which plagues all of the industrial nations. Instead of spending money frivolously, we should be focusing on how to fix the one we live on. The ozone layer is getting thinner and thinner every year, which means that the sun's radiation is causing more damage to people and the environment. The governments need to design a method to drastically reduce pollution. In addition to the problems of pollution and homelessness, the general population could use the money as well. In many countries, including our own, the health care and education systems leave something to be desired. I think that more money should be put towards making citizens healthier and wiser. With that said, many of the above disagreements need the help of the computer industry. Computers can help governments to keep track of all of the people they need to take care of, and programs can be designed which help isolate problems with the environment. Computers are important, as long as a government does not forget to taking care of its people.
