▶ Your Answer :
In the reading passage, there is an ample amount of support for the author’s claim that the government levies a special tax on tobacco products sold in the country. However the professor in the lecture gives several reasons contradictory to the author’s point.
First of all, the lecturer points that young smokers (단복수) will go to a black market to by buy tobacco products. This is because if tobacco has tax, the price will be increase. As a result, the teenagers will go to the black market that is more cheaper. Also the black market do not need does not require their ID cards. The young smokers will get their tobacco easily. This refutes the author’s point that imposing tax on cigarettes makes it less likely that young people will start smoking.
Moreover, in the lecture, the point is made that it is not beneficial for environment. This is true that tobacco crops are routinely sprayed with dangerous chemicals, which leach into the soil and pollute water system. However if the tobacco's tax is increased, increase the tax the buyers' number will decrease. As a result the environment will be better. This casts doubt on the idea in the reading passage that increasing the tax will make it possible to repair damage inflicted on the environment by the cultivation.
The final point made by the lecturer is that it can get a lot of jobs. (It's either "a lot of ~" or "lots of". "A lots of ~" is grammatically incorrect) It is true that it will need more people for the jobs like agriculture, manufacture and retail. As a result, it will work. (work in what ways? how? be more specific) This is different from the passage’s view that the revenue raised by a higher cigarette tax can be used to reduce poverty. |
