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.
Sample essay 1.
I realize that it's important to stay up to date with our technology. So much, like our space and
defense programs, depends on it. I've also read that we shouldn't let other governments get ahead
of ours in the race for better technology. This could eventually put us at a disadvantage and our
whole economy could suffer. Despite all this, I think our government should spend our tax dollars
on more basic items before it gets into the business of developing computer technology.
We have so many problems in our society, and it seems every solution needs money. For instance,
we talk about getting people off welfare. To do that we need money to give them jobs until they
can support themselves. That means support training, day care for their children, and probably a
monthly rent subsidy. All of those things can cost hundreds of millions of dollars. However, if we
could solve a major problem like that, wouldn't it improve our society even more than new
technology?
Another problem is that our transportation system is falling apart. Bridges have cracks in them.
Highways buckle. Accidents happen because of these problems. We shouldn't put money into
improving a computer chip when we have basic needs like these.
Besides, why should the government be in the business of developing technology? Aren't there
several very successful corporations doing just that? Yes, it's probably less expensive in the long
run for the government to develop-the technology. Nevertheless, in the short run, there are basic
needs in our society that aren't being met. I think that's where the money should go.

Some people think that government should spend as much money as possible on developing or
buying computer technology, while others do not. As far as I am concerned, this money should be
spent on some more basic needs, such as protecting the environment and improving the public
service.
In the first place, nowadays the pollution of environment has become the main concern in the
advanced society. The research said that human being would not find the clean water to drink if
they did not do some work to keep their water clean. There would be no fresh air if every people
in the city drive car to go and from work. And there would be no more wild animals if people let
the forest be destroyed like what is to be done now. For example, the forest, which is the main
habitat of the various animals, has been destroyed. More and more wild animals face the danger
of extinction because of the shortage of habitats. Therefore, there are more basic things that a
successful government should do such as keeping the water clean, keeping the air fresh, and
keeping the animal healthy.
In the second place, some public service, such as the public transportation in the city, also is a big
problem. The bus in the rush hours is overcrowded; some people cannot go to work on time
because they do not catch the regular bus; some commuters spent too much time on the bus or
train because of the traffic on the road. Consequently, government should spend more money to
improve their public transportation, which will benefit their people a lot and benefit them
instantaneously.
From what I have discussed above, everyone can see that there are more things a government
should do than buying computer, such as protecting the environment and improving the public
service. Therefore, I think a successful government should spend more money on the basic
demands of their people instead of spending as much money as possible on developing or buying
computer technology.
