To what extent do you agree or disagree? 2 In some countries, the national traditional arts are facing extinction. Some people think that the
2、government should support them. Do you agree or disagree? What should the government do? 雅思（写作）模拟试卷 142答案与解析 1 【正确答案】 Like a disease that troubles the patients, traffic and housing problems in almost every metropolis are what governments must address without any delay. Why do I say it? One theory cl
3、aims big companies and factories should be moved to the hinterland. Although it sounds plausible, the theory is not essentially flawless. To begin with, it is entirely wrong to attribute city housing and traffic problems to big companies and factories. Why? The area that big companies and factories
4、occupy usually accounts for the less than 15% of the whole city state. Hence, big companies and factories contribute little to housing and traffic problems. Moreover, the number of the employees of big companies and factories is not large enough to give rise to traffic and housing problems. Next, to
5、 move big companies and factories does not solve the housing and traffic problems completely. In fact, it harms rather than helps city economic development by shifting the problems from city to countryside. Once the big companies and factories are moved to the suburb, schools, banks, hospitals, raw
6、material supplies and the like will also stream into the countries. When the system becomes a flood, a new city comes into being. Then, the old problems reappear in the “new cities“. In addition, these big companies and factories trigger and lead the city econimic development. To remove them, produc
7、t and services are expensive. Hence, to move them to the countryside makes little sense. To sum up, I do not agree that big companies and factories should be moved to the countryside.

8、 and seriously. 2 【正确答案】 Traditional arts, as valuable cultural relics of a nation, are disappearing far away from the modern society.

9、financial burden on the government. As for me, I can hardly share this point of view. I believe that I have found some solid reasons. One of the most attractive points is that traditional arts are national treasures. They are the precious heritage of our ancestors. As the offspring, it is our respon
10、sibilities and obligations to inherit them and carry them down to the next generation. China, as one of the highly-civilised countries in the world, abounds in various forms of traditional arts, such as Beijing Opera, Chinese painting, and calligraphy, which are not only our national cultural treasu
11、res, but also a rich fortune of the world. There is another factor that deserves some words here. Traditional arts are the foundation of modern ones. In other words, the development of modern arts depends upon the traditional ones. For example, compared with movie, drama is a traditional art. Many f
12、amous movie stars have ever studied in drama institutions. Some people may say that supporting traditional arts is to sink money. In fact, these traditional arts are certainly not a money waster. They are potentially profitable. There are also a lot of traditional art fans who are willing to pay and
13、 even donate for them. In addition, the profits can last a longer time. Taking all these factors into consideration, we may reasonably come to the conclusion that the government should support traditional arts. Firstly, there is a need for the government to invest more funds on the research of traditional arts. Secondly, the government should organise activities to promote public awareness of the importance of traditional arts.
