※ 引述《soundspeed (myway)》之铭言： : Some people think that governments should spend as much money as possible on : developing or buying computer technology. Other people disagree and think : that this money should be spent on more basic needs. Which one of these : opinions do you agree with? Use specific reasons and details to support your : answer. : ======== : Obviously, the topic concerns two issues: one is the extreme investment to : computer science, and the other is a little more contribution to the basic : needs. According to the economic rules, the more is not definitely the xxx : better. It’s not clear to concentrate so much effort on computer technology. : Maybe it would lead to results not so good as human could expect. Meanwhile, : there might be urgent basic requirements deserving immediate economical : resources, like universal health care insurance, or national bailout to the : victims of subprime mortgages.

The additional : nine hundred computers suddenly turn out to be a kind of waste. : In addition, it is believed that there should be much more depravity : deserving economic aids right away. As anyone can see on daily newspapers : that not everyone is under coverage of universal health care insurance, it is xxxx, not everyone... . There : a shortage of health protection. It’s really tough to imagine that a small : kid may suffer from certain disease just because of not being included in the diseases : insurance. : To conclude, although computer technologies have brought us a very convenient : life, we can’t neglect other basic needs for human, just like national : insurance or something else. We could not over-emphasize computer technology ^^^^^ can/should/must : until necessary and basic requirements are all satisfied. -- 一个 学术英文写作 领域的讨论板 在 PTT （telnet:ptt.cc〉 【 分组讨论区 】 --> 11 国家研究院 政治, 文学, 学术 --> 科学学术研究院 --> 学术总合研究中心 --> ★ST-English PTT 学术英文/论文写作班 --
