考研英语作文训练及范文(三)

　　Nowadays, the sport stars are paid in such a high salary, which is much more than the whole life salary of a common family. Should athletes have a high salary like this?

　　Sample One

　　Should athletes have a high salary? From my point of view, I reckon that they should get a good pay.

　　To begin with, the development of athletic level represents the power of a country. Athletes make great contributions to the society and earn great glories to their country. When our national anthem is played in the stadium, we feel very proud of our countrys strength. Therefore, a high salary is a reward to the efforts athletes make.

　　Whats more, athletes devote themselves fully to the training and exercises. Every day, they do a lot of exercises with a view to setting new record in the sports games. Athletes are apt to be hurt in the matches, because some sports games are dangerous, for example, football, boxing and wushu. High pay guarantees prompt and good medical care if they get hurt.

　　Last but not least important, the athletic career is very short. Many athletes retire when they are still quite young. High salary can ensure that they can have a better life after they retire. If they want a further study, they will have no financial burdens.

　　To sum up, it is reasonable for athletes to get high salary, because they are worth of it.

　　Sample Two

　　Salaries should reflect peoples dedication and job responsibilities. However, sports figures, who dont benefit the community in general, earn millions of dollars each. In my opinion, this is wrong. Things should be done to change this situation.

　　If we take the example of a sport star such as Tyson, it is hard for us to say in what way he benefits the society. In fact, his disobeying game rules sets a bad example for young people, and his abandoned behavior encourages people to experiment with sex and violence. Besides, his job does not require special skills or years of training and education. Although he can entertain and excite audience, I do not think that he is justified to receive so much money and his job can be considered essential.

　　On the other hand, most people in ordinary professions like nurses, doctors and teachers earn only a small fraction of the income of these stars. However, if we give a careful look at these professions, we will find that they not only require special skills and years of education but also help the people and the whole society. For instance, teachers disseminate knowledge to the society; doctors and nurses offer patients good medical care and prolong their life. They are much more helpful, and actually more essential to society than sports personalities. Without these ordinary professions, our society would stop progressing. Their salaries should be related to skill, education or the value of the individual to society.

　　Things should be done to make salaries fairer. Huge amounts of money shall be given to more deserving people.
