Dr. Gupta: What is one good way to encourage more people to do charitable or community work? Explain your choice.
🙋♀️ Claire (Financial Reward): Get more people to do charitable work by paying them for their time. Even a small amount would help younger people be more willing to participate.
🙋♂️ Paul (Education & Value): People should participate because it is the right thing to do, not for financial reward. The solution is making people understand how important community work is.
名師核心寫作策略
💡 本題邏輯心法：「先讓步，再反駁，最後建立自身立場」
- 明確表態：開頭明確同意 Paul 的觀點，避免立場模糊。
- 先讓步：承認 Claire 的「付費方法」看似實際，能吸引一些年輕人。
- 後反駁：立刻指出付費法的兩個致命弱點 —— 金額太少誘因有限，且會使慈善變得功利、流於交易。
- 建立立場：回到 Paul 的論點，強調教育與理解能培養長久的責任感，並用具體例子（老人陪伴、兒童活動）充實內容。
高分參考範文 (Model Answer)
I agree with Paul that the best way to encourage community service is to help people understand its value. Claire's suggestion may sound practical because a small payment could attract some younger people, but this reward would probably be too limited to inspire real effort. Worse, it may teach people to view charity as a transaction rather than a responsibility. If volunteers begin with money as their main motive, they may stop helping once the payment disappears.
By contrast, education can build a more stable sense of duty. Schools, local governments, and community groups can show people how volunteer work improves real lives, such as helping older people feel less isolated or giving children safer places to learn. Once people see these results, they are more likely to help willingly.
