雅思写作真题出现高频题目之一就是政府的资金要用在什么地方，投资教育好不好？投资医疗对不对？投资住房行不行？用在保护动物上算不算浪费？这次墨尔本文波雅思来讨论一下政府投资保护动物的话题，题目如下，
Save animals or focus on human issues? Discuss both views and give your own opinion.

这一次要求两边讨论，即不仅要说明政府预算保护动物的重要性，也要说明对投资社会重要项目的看法。所以首段的总结应该清楚地说明将要讨论两个方面。
Animal extinction and its related detrimental effects have recently become a big concern for governments in many countries, worldwide. However, many people disagree and contend that investing in animal protection is a waste of money and resources. They think that the fund should be put into urgent social projects, such as providing housing for poor people, improving the education system and alleviating environmental problems. In this essay, I will discuss both sides of the debate and conclude with my point of view.
主体段一，这个段落包含了两个很好的例子以此来说明动物与人类赖以生存的环境是密不可分的。某些动物的逐渐灭绝可能会给生态环境带来无法逆转的灾难。
On one hand, animals themselves constitute an essential part of the food chain of all creatures that contributes to the main reason for getting government’s support. With an increasing number of endangered animal species today, it is often seen that the living environment of human beings is suffering badly from serious disasters, such as famine, drought, soil and water erosion and many other devastating problems lead by this trend. For example, in the northern part of Australia, there is a bird breed called the Cassowary, that like to eat seeds and they poops everywhere in the forest, and this is largely conducive to the tree’s replanting and growing. Moreover, if the fox as a predator of mice vanished, a surge number of mouse would plague the local community. Thus, as more and more animal creatures are on the brink of extinction, it will jeopardise biodiversity, and this would ultimately have huge ramifications for mankind.
主体段二，是对民生项目投资的肯定，语言简明扼，非常有用。
On the other hand, opponents hold the view that government should concentrate their efforts on social issues, include hospitals, roads and schools, which determine the quality of life that most people have. They say if the government does not spend enough money on hospitals, the general health of the community may dramatically decline. Similarly, if not enough is spent on schools, children may not be properly educated and trained to meet the future needs of the country, which would have a long-term effect on the economy.
段尾，由于题目要求给出自己的意见，则要一句话表达自己的观点，在此小编提出对公共民生服务项目仍然是首要支持和资助的方面。
In conclusion, there would be clear catastrophic results in the ecosystem if animal species continue to be wiped out. Therefore, I contend that governments should not divert the attention in protecting animals, but they should also ensure that public services are adequately funded as the number one priority.
通过对这三篇的政府投资进行总结，大概也有了写好此类文章的基本概念。
接下来需要做的就是逐渐掌握好词好句，反复使用在文章里，加强记忆，提升功底。
小编将在下一篇另类总结分类中开始新的话题讨论，敬请关注。
