2、rastructure (roads, water supplies, etc.). All other services (education, health, social security) should be provided by private groups or individuals in the community. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this opinion? 雅思（写作）模拟试卷 157答案与解析 1 【正确答案】 As an increasing number of people are aware
3、 of the importance of good health, the conflict between the ever-growing demand for high quality medical service and the insufficient public medical facilities has been worsened and this issue has been receiving much more attention than ever before. Most of us may thereby form an unrealistic picture
4、 about private health care which has been advocated as the best solution so far. However, I firmly believe the disadvantages of private health care outweigh its advantages. Most private health care centres are profit-oriented and indifferent to others sufferings. It is universally agreed that the pr
5、ime goal of a hospital is to save lives and cure those in need. However, most owners of private health care centers, just like shop-owners, just aim at making as much money as possible and this runs against the basic principles of hospitals. Newspapers have reported repeatedly cases of some private
6、hospitals refusing to save the lives of poverty-stricken patients, manifesting that some private health care centers are indeed problematic in nature. Furthermore, contrary to what the general public believe, a large number of private health care centres are not qualified enough to practice medical
7、service. In some private hospitals, though the cost of treatment is higher than that in most public hospitals, patients often cannot receive the service promised in advertisements. What is more terrifying is that some so-called doctors in those hospitals have no work experience at all and even their
8、 diplomas are fake ones. Last but not the least, the governments administration and supervision over private hospitals are often inadequate. Once obtaining the license, some private hospitals would do anything only if it is profitable. Aggravated by inadequate and inefficient inspections and evaluat
9、ions from the government, many severe consequences have resulted from time to time. To sum up, though nowadays private health care centres are playing an indispensable role, they are not without their inborn shortcomings. Before those problems mentioned above can be solved, it is still too early to
10、talk about transferring most of the medical service to profit-making hospitals. 2 【正确答案】 Government can only provide a limited range of services for citizens. Certain types of service, however, must be provided by governments, whereas both governments and private groups or individuals can share the
11、responsibility to provide other services. Government must provide those services which are essential to a country. These include defence capabilities and social security. Private enterprise and the profit motive should not form part of these essential services. On the other hand, some services could
12、 be provided by either governments or private groups or both. Education and health care are examples of such services. A government must provide at least a basic level of education and health care so all citizens can have access to them. Private enterprise, though, could also provide services in the
13、se areas for those who wish to pay for them. Urban infrastructure is another area where government and private groups or individuals can share responsibility. Governments must build and maintain a system of roads, but toll roads can be built and road maintenance can be carried out by private contrac
14、tors. Similarly, other infrastructure, such as water or electricity supply, can be operated by private companies. To sum up, there are some services such as defence and social security which must be provided by government. Other services, for example water supply or education, could be provided by both. A governments role is only to provide some services while others should be provided by the private sector. In fact, both government and private groups can share in the provision of most services.
