雅思大作文范文：是否该禁止商店售卖有害健康的食物

雅思大作文题目：

Shops should not be allowed to sell any food or drink that has been scientifically proved to be bad for people’s health. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

高分范文及解析

With people’s concern over healthful eating growing, some propose an outright ban on unhealthy food and beverage. Personally, I regard such proposal as unreasonable and infeasible despite its good intent.

解析

老题重现，站不同意，因为有绝对词“any”。另外也曾有过相似话题讨论：保持居民健康饮食是*责任还是个人责任？本题的“禁止商店售*有害食品”就是“*采取的特定措施”。题看多了，就能把观点融会贯通。

outright adj. 完全的，彻底的

intent n.[U] 目的，意图

Admittedly, it is justifiable for some to advocate such policy, since maintaining the well-being of community members cannot count solely on citizens themselves, and external conditions - additional policies and regulations - may also be in need. To this end, store owners, as social members, should feel obliged to take certain actions. Once shops are forbidden to sell unhealthy food and drink, such as cigarettes and alcohol, which usually render individuals easily addicted to it, people who lack self-discipline to resist the temptation will have no access to those siren calls. In this case, they will be forced to lead a healthier diet.

解析

让步：商店不售*此类产品 → 人们没有渠道接触此类有害食物 → 促进更健康的饮食，尤其对那些自控力差的人来说是福音

count on v. 指望；依靠

oblige *. to do sth. [常作被动]〔因形势、法律、义务等关系而〕非做…不可，迫使

render vt. [常用于贬义语境] 使成为；使变得；使处于某种状态

self-discipline n.[U] 自我约束，自律

resist the temptation *诱惑

siren call n. 危险的诱惑 （= temptation）

However, such a policy is highly likely to be a nanny-state regulation, as it develops into excessive governing and thus violates people’s liberty. As a matter of fact, most * citizens are aware of what they feed themselves on as well as of the consequences of consuming those unhealthy products. They may appreciate the good intent behind this ban but get annoyed by the excessive interference. / Besides, though some goods have been scientifically proved to be harmful to human’s health, the results may to a large extent depend on the intake. In other words, if individuals restrain the intake of those oily or sugary products which usually offer people personal satisfaction, they are less likely to suffer from the diseases listed on the research findings, but an outright ban may deprive citizens of such satisfaction.

解析

反驳：1. 剥夺了某些喜爱者的自由；2. 有时候所谓的“有害”，取决于摄入量

nanny-state n. [贬] 保姆*

feed oneself on/with sth. 喂养

interference n. 干涉；干预

deprive *. of sth. 剥夺某人某物

In a nutshell, shops should be permitted to sell those legal products, and it is individuals themselves that decide what to eat and drink.

解析

重申观点：商店正常售*合法产品，个人决定*不*。
