2021年8月21雅思大作文题目

Scientific research should be carried out and controlled by the government rather than private companies. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

范文及解析

Introduction

As an integral part of the well-being of mankind, scientific experiments are usually suggested to be conducted and managed by administration, yet I entertain the view that the private sector should also be involved.

【解析】老题重现。scientific research的范围比较广，可以考虑从科研涉及的不同领域，以及政府和公司这两个群体的本质差别去进行各自合理性的探讨。

Body 1

Behind government’s efforts are several merits, among which the most conspicuous one is that some money-consuming research yet without immediate value can be performed by corridors of power. To illustrate, some large-scale missions, such as inventing a spacecraft with a high level of accuracy, precision and sophistication, often require an input of colossal amounts of budgets, which may be beyond the reach of most individual or private organisations, and the absence of foreseeable profits may also incur little incentive for them. // Besides, studies in certain domains, especially national defence and military, should be implemented by government in case money-driven businesses may compromise principles and leak research findings for the sake of raking in profits, thus posing a threat to national security.

【解析】政府负责科研的好处显而易见：资金比较充裕，且通常会投资带来长远好处而非眼前盈利的项目，有些机密性质的领域由政府掌控，也能防止信息外泄。

Ø accuracy n. [U]准确度

Ø precision n. [U] 精确度

Ø sophistication n. [U] 精密度

Ø colossal adj. 巨大的

Ø be beyond the reach of 超出…的能力范围

Ø compromise vt. 放弃（原则），在…方面妥协

Ø leak vt. 透露，泄露（秘密）

Ø rake in 大量敛集（钱财）

Body 2

However, never does this mean that private companies should be barred from carrying out scientific studies. As a matter of fact, there are evident gains for firms to get involved as well. More accurately, targeted at holding a share in the market and making more money, private businesses have every reason to refine the processing and develop new products at a rather low cost by conducting various scientific researches. Under such motivation, their working efficiency and productivity will be enhanced.// Additionally, it is because private enterprises are market-oriented that they are more likely to develop inventions with more pragmatic value so as to cater to customers’ needs.

【解析】其余一些领域的科研可以放手让公司实施，利益驱使之下反而高效多产。

Ø bar sb. from doing sth. 阻止某人做某事

Ø refine vt. 精炼
