We've been discussing government budgets and the difficult decisions governments must make regarding the use of public funds. Some services are clearly essential and must be paid for by any government. But what about public funding of the arts? Do you believe that governments should provide financial support to artists-for example, painters, sculptors, musicians, or filmmakers? Why or why not?
Claire
I enjoy art as much as anyone does, but public funds come from taxes, and I don't think taxpayers' hard-earned money should be spent on impractical or inessential items and services. Artists should support themselves by selling their work to private individuals and companies. If they can't find enough buyers, then maybe they should change careers.
Paul
Personally think art actually is essential. Lots of public spaces in my hometown just wouldn't be the same without artwork. From statues in public parks to murals painted on the walls of government buildings, my hometown really benefits from funding the artists who created these works. The publicspaces are simply more enjoyable for visitors because of the artwork.
考情分析
因为8月托福大陆考试还未开始，所以老师特意收集了一些全球其他地区考场的写作题目，分析给大家。
今天要分析的是8月1日亚太考场的题目。 这道题目看起来很难，但实际是今年6.20日大陆考场考过的一到原题。
Do you agree or disagree with the following statement?
Governments should not provide any financial support to artists (for example, painters, writers, musicians, and filmmakers); all artists should support themselves.
Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer. Be sure to use your own words. Do not use memorized examples
相似的是，7.30日大陆考场考到的“航空税”的题目也是考到了今年大陆4.12日考到的一道新题。这道题也是写作团 day18· 政府话题·中重点讲解到的题目。这道题明天老师就再次在公众号里分析给大家。
所以老师再次强调， 改革后的考题和之前的考题有很大的相同。目前来看，托福只是在之前的题目中扩充了一些：生活，工作, 社会...等话题。所以大家在关注新题目的同时，之前考过的题目，尤其是今年出的一些新题，大家一定要关注！
审题注意点
难度系数：⭐️⭐️⭐️ (政府+艺术类混合难题)
1. But what about public funding of the arts? Do you believe that governments should provide financial support to artists-for example, painters, sculptors, musicians, or filmmakers? Why or why not? --->题目看起来很长，有2个问号。但实际上都是在问一个事情：政府是否应该给艺术家提供资金支持。大家应该扣住这个点去分析。
2. 可行的角度:
--政府不给资金扶持，对艺术家的影响。
好处：给与他们创作的自由，不受政府的干扰。
坏处：很多年轻/不出名的艺术家可能生活很贫困。
???：这个角度比较难。虽然题目中已经给我们具体化了艺术家的范围。但是如果同学们自己不太了解艺术的创作具体内容, 慎选。
--政府不给资金扶持，对艺术行业的影响。
坏处：无法吸引人们从事这个行业，不利于艺术行业的繁荣：产生不了好的作品提供给人们欣赏。
--政府不给资金扶持，对政府本身的影响：
好处：减少了政府自身的经济压力。政府的资金有限，资助了艺术家们可能就没有足够的钱去资助更需要帮助的人们the disadvantaged… 。
???：这个角度比较好写。老师在写作团·政府话题·专题讲解过，增加纳税人负担/降低人们大众的生活福利.
3. 文章结构:考虑到这个题目确实比较难，大家可以考虑写2个分论点，以扩充字数。
参考范文:
参考范文一：I agree with Claire. Governments should not subsidize artists. Such a policy will restrict artists' creative freedom./Ensuring artists are financially independent guarantees their artistic freedom. When governments subsidize artists, it's not always a no-strings-attached arrangement. If a writer accepts funds from the government, they might feel pressured to censor any critique or sarcastic commentary about a dictator or controversial government policies. Similarly, a painter reliant on government support might hesitate to include a satirical portrayal of a self-serving senator. On the other hand, if they sustain themselves through their art, they can remain truly unbiased and uninfluenced. For example, .... Admittedly, many promising but young and unknown artists may benefit from this policy….. However, the overall harm this policy brings to the artist community outweighs the benefits. ...
参考范文二：
I concur with Claire's stance. Governments should not subsidize artists. Allocating funds away from artists benefits the government. This is because supporting the vast number of artists is a significant financial burden. It could require billions to cover millions of artists of all kinds annually. With limited financial budgets, if governments splash out billions of dollars on artists, essential sectors might suffer. Governments may not have enough left to subsidize those more pressing areas/aid the more vulnerable members of the society , such as the chronically ill or underprivileged children absent from schools… Eventually, implementing this policy may easily incur resentment towards governments from the public. Admittedly, many promising but young and unknown artists may benefit from this policy. They might find it challenging without government subsidies. However, when balancing the needs of a society, especially in a strained economy, sectors like health and education should take precedence. (148字)
