题目要求:
Money offered for postgraduate research is limited; as a consequence, some people argue that financial support from the government of the day should be only provided for scientific research rather than research for less useful subjects.
Do you agree or disagree?
写作思路:
第一段:引入话题的对立面:奖学金发放,大学研究经费倾向科学还是‘用处不大’的学科,如艺术,社会科学
第二段:1当然科学研究可以直接产生看得见的成果,如产品或技术,可以提高人民的生活水平;2科研的成果会提高生产力;3 医学研究提高大众健康水平和寿命
但是只支持科学研究,而不顾人们其他方面的需求会导致社会畸形发展,最终也会制约科技的发展。
第三段:人民需要艺术,因为:艺术相关人们的情感和价值观,这是人们行为的核心部分;艺术培养人的创造和创新能力;艺术是娱乐休闲方式,艺术是感情和精力释放的安全方式;艺术促进不同文化和民族间的理解,稳定社会的发展。社会科学如哲学历史人类学心理学等加深人们对人类自身的理解和更深远地对未来的健康发展的规划。
第四段:政府应该既资助大学的科学研究,也资助社会科学和艺术。这样才能创造一个健康有生机的社会。

Nowadays,it is controversial whether the government should only put their financial support for education to scientific research rather than the research which is less useful, such as article, philosophy, anthropology and so on. Both of ideas have some supporters. For those who agree with this point believe that it is a waste of resource to fund the subjects that are useless, because they make no improvement to our life, while those subjects, for example, mathematics, electronics etc., stimulate the development of our economics, especially, make our life more convenient. The government should give more financial support to such subjects and encourage scientists who are devoted themselves into the scientific research. Additionally, the reward and pain are not balanced for those subjects such as anthropology, we find that when the scientist de the related research, there is no sense for us ordinary people even though they have some amazing or magnificent finding, nothing will change in our daily life. What's more, there are more critical issue should be solved, like environment pollution, sanitation, global warming and so on, the government can save more money if they don't fund those useless subjects and pour these money to the urgent issues. However, some people hold the opposite idea. There is no doubt that the consequence of some subjects can be seen immediately, but some subjects which are so-called 'useless' are actually long-term research, it may be a preservation of our ancient culture, we have no awareness of them until it disappear. These subjects are like a cup of tea, only after we taste it gradually, we can finally find the fragrance of it. No subject should be cancelled, and every one has its own value more or less. In my own opinion, I am convinced that government should put more money according to different requirements and for those subjects which are really critical to be solved, they can fund more; and for those long-term research, keep a permanent funding every year. What's more, they should censor the progress of each subject that they funded, and then evaluate the value and process, then according to the results, they can adjust the allocation of the funding.
