▶ Your Answer : Currently, the government requires company to set high
taxes on tobacco products. In the reading passage, there is ample support for the
author’s claim that the high tax on tobacco products gives the country a lot
of advantages. However, the professor in the lecture gives several reasons as a
rebuttal to the author’s point.
First, the professor contends that it is
not true that the gone up tobacco tax helps young people dissuade from smoking.
According to a study, young people often buy cigarettes from Black Markets. In
the market, they can buy cigarettes less than formal markets by avoiding
the tax. Also, the market doesn’t check their social ID card, which means that
people can buy them regardless of their ages. This casts doubt on the reading
passage’s claim that increasing the tobacco tax helps young people to be
far from cigarettes since they tend to buy expensive things and avoid them.
Second, the professor argues that the high
tax will not be helpful for repairing the damage inflicted on the environment. This
is because if the increment of the tax makes annual revenue be less before
since the number of people who buy the cigarette will decrease. Therefore,
they won’t have enough money to reform the land. This counters the reading
passage’s claim that the high tax will make the government be able to solve the
environmental problems since it can be provided enough money to combat the
problems.
Finally, the professor insists that the high
tax cannot be helpful for lowering poverty. There are a lot of jobs related to
cigarettes, such as farmers, manufacturers. the augmented cigarette tax makes
the jobs disappear. That is, the government not only increases the ratio of unemployment
but also aggravates poverty. This refutes the reading passage’s claim that raising revenue
by the tax allows the government to support social welfare programs well.
professor from reading/listening이거 잘 구분지어서 작성해주세요 통합형은 reading/listening간의 비교가 가장 큰 점인데 화자가 누구인지 정확하게 적혀있지 않는다면 뜻이 모두 모호해집니다. listening많이 듣고 적으신거 같아 읽기에 아주 좋았습니다. 어휘나 표현 조금만 더 다양하게 쓸 수 있다면 더 좋았을 듯 합니다. |
