Many countries are spending a huge amount of money on supporting their competitors to take part in some worldwide sports competitions. Others argue that it would be better if these countries can spend the money on children to take part in sports. To what extent do you agree or disagree?（2012年9月1日考試真題，國家社會類）
整篇文章採取的是2/8開的結構，這個結構在傾向型文章中是得分最高但卻是最難把握的。要先寫出兩個贊成的觀點，然後寫讓步的理由，同時再轉折去反駁這個理由，這對大家比較有挑戰性
Traditionally, some people hold the belief that spending money on training elite competitors（培訓精英選手） to shine on the international stage（在國際舞台功成名就） is worthwhile. Nowadays, a growing number of people tend to believe that a country should invest more in youngsters physical exercises, and therefore stimulate their interest for taking part in sports from an early age.
支持的理由：如果考慮到大眾，尤其是青少年運動設施的貧乏，支持頂級運動員的設施有點本末倒置（put the cart before the horse）,因為孩子是國際的未來，只有他們的身體有保障，國家的未來才更有希望。
Some people believe that it is not worthwhile to finance the sports competitors merely for the purpose of achieving success in the arena if we take the poor situation of mass sports into consideration(考慮到). Lack of physical exercise has become a huge problem among citizens, particularly teenagers, as the construction and maintenance（建設和維護） of sports facilities is underfunded（資金不足）. Actually, childrens sports activities are more beneficial for the future development of a nation as sports can ensure children maintain energetic and keep good physical condition in the future study so that they deserve more financial support from the government as well as sponsors （贊助商）of sports events.
讓步段說支持運動員也有好處，主要是通過在國際上展現國家的體育實力，可以提高國家的國際形象和聲望（improve the image and prestige internationally），但是畢竟這些設施比較專業和高級，只有少數運動員才能使用，普通大眾很難從中受益。
Admittedly, global sports contests not only provide audience with a perfect opportunity to enjoy the excellent performances of athletes but also provide host countries（主辦國） a perfect chance to present the sporting success in front of global political and business leaders who are highly likely to watch live broadcast via satellite relays（衛星轉播）. However, squandering（揮霍） money in supporting competitors to take part in worldwide sports competitions seems to bring little actual effect to general public. It is largely because there are only a few top athletes having the chance to win the medals but their routine training demands high-standard facilities and athletic ground which can hardly be used by ordinary people.
最後扣題，國家在關注運動員設施的同時，更應該投資在大眾運動設施上。
In conclusion, when countries raise fund for sports or celebrate the victory of their athletes, they should not neglect the fact that many children are in great need of（急需） sports facilities.
