2017年雅思考試題庫：老百姓是否該交稅

　　Task：People believe that they should be able to keep all the money they earn and should not pay tax to the state. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

　　人們認(rèn)為他們應(yīng)該能夠擁有他們掙的所有的錢，不應(yīng)該向國家交稅。你在多大程度上同意或不同意?

　　思路解析：

　　不應(yīng)該交稅：

　　1. 交稅像一種剝削，這會(huì)降低員工對(duì)于工作的熱情。

　　2. 稅收的使用不透明，會(huì)被貪污或者亂用，比如郭美美。

　　3. 稅收使用的不公平，真正獲益的是那些無所事事的人，如丐幫和罪犯們。這是強(qiáng)迫努力工作的人為一無是處的家伙們買單。

　　應(yīng)該交稅：

　　1. 稅收讓政府能有序運(yùn)轉(zhuǎn)，這是社會(huì)管理的前提。

　　2. 稅收確保了社會(huì)穩(wěn)定，否則丐幫一旦造反，大家都活不了。

　　3. 稅收促進(jìn)了生活水平，比如說支撐了公交系統(tǒng)，學(xué)校，醫(yī)院，運(yùn)動(dòng)場，公園等。

　　參考范文：

　　In comtemporary society, what we earn is not always equal to what we finally have simply due to the tax payment. As long as we make money, a certan proportion of our income should be spent in tax. People, who are somewhat unsatisfied with this rule suggest that it is unnecessary while I personally disagree.

　　Admittely, it seems to be a little unfair considering that we cannot own all the money we earn. However, for the benefit of an individual in the long term, paying tax is reasonable and worthwhile. Firstly, it is obvious that the government needs money to maintain public service which is necessary for every single citizen. Expenditure on constructing public facilites such as museum, transportation depends on tax. Moreover, a large amount of tax is invested in promoting medical insurance system. Sooner or later, tax payers will benefit from it and appreciate the fact that it costs them so little on medical bills.

　　On the other hand, tax payment is beneficial to the society as a whole. As we know, tax rate varies depending on how much a person earns. Briefly speaking, those who are more wealthy have to pay more tax to the state. Therefore, the gap between the rich and the poor is minimized to some extent. By virtue of imposing tax,the society can be stablized as there will be relatively less crimes commiteed by people in lower social-economic status.

　　To sum up, it is my belief that paying tax is the right act both for the welfare of an individual and the society. Thus, every citizen should be commiteed in tax payment according to related law.
