　　讨论这两种看法并给出你的观点?

　　【题目关键词】

　　【写作小贴士】

　　此类题目是典型的argumentative essay双边类的写法，这类问法在剑桥系列丛书五册到八册中共出现过九次，建议此类文章分为四段来写，body paragraphs分为两段展开，首先，第二段可以写政府set up a fund to provide money发展艺术事业的诸多benefits，比如：To begin with, the arts make money, to be specific, arts organizations create jobs, spur local economy, and generate tax revenues. Then, the arts attract tourists, for a primary reason for travel is to experience the cultural offerings of other areas. The arts bring people to town and keep then there much longer. Last but not least, the arts provide a high rate of return on public investment. The arts strengthen a community in many ways. One investment can reap many rewards 。其次，第三段可以写利用这些钱发展public health和education的种种reasons，for example, in the first place, spending money on the public health is critical to reducing health care costs and improving health in one country and it is the heart and soul of public health and is crucial in preventing and managing disease as well. In the second place, these funds will also go to screening that is crucial in catching the infection early so people can stay healthy for as long as possible. In the next place, to remain competitive, the nation must increase the number of college graduates. Cutting the spending on education would put college out of reach for many low-income students。最后，在文章收尾处present your own viewpoint。以上观点仅供参考(brainstorming)，在具体写作过程中酌情使用!
