【第三十九期】Topic:图书馆该不该免费？

现在的城市，公共福利建设越做越好

图书馆免费、公园免费、wifi免费......

有谁还会拒绝免费？！

口语考试时绝不是一句“免费真好”就能解决的

《雅思说》39期：该不该免费？

欢迎雅思说新晋主持

攻气十足的郑晨钰老师，闪亮登场~

免费的，钱从那儿来？

免费，免得就是钱~政府修建基础设施的钱从“税收”中来。一部分的税款被用来修建、维护像“图书馆”这样的基础设施。取之于民用之于民，因此我们不应该被要求付费进入图书馆。

税收：tax

基础设施：infrastructures

被要求付费：be requested to pay for the entrance

免费：have free access to …

如何避免免费带来的“困扰”？

图书馆免费开放可能导致：导致太多人去看书，难以保证图书馆的安静和整洁；部分人还可能损坏书籍。

解决方案：可以限定人数，制定规章制度，如“交订金”“处罚破坏图书的人”。

整洁的 tidy / neat

破坏 damage

限定人数 limit / restrict the number of visitors

制定规章制度 establish some regulations

订金 deposit

处罚 punish 

SAMPLE ANSWER

此类题目答题两步走：

：公民已经交过税，使用基础设施无需付费

第二：人太多有破坏的担心不必要~

I suppose we should have free access to libraries because we’ve paid much tax to the government and some proportion of the money is used to construct and maintain infrastructures of a city, including libraries, so we shouldn’t be requested to pay for the entrance. Admittedly, there might be some problems if too many people go to libraries when they’re free of charge, but they can be avoided if proper measures are taken. First of all, we can restrict the number of visitors. Besides this, regulations can be established to punish those who damage the books.
