雅思考试大作文范文：城乡医疗教育的选择

　　In this day and age, it can be generally observed that the disparity between cities and the country has been aggravated¹ by relentless² urbanization. With respect to educational and medical facilities, a yawning gap has emerged between those in cities and the rural ones. This manifest chasm³ has prompted some to suggest that teachers and doctors fresh out of university work in the country for a few years.Yet many are opposed to this view on the grounds that it infringes⁴ upon individual freedom to choose where they work.Personally, I think both these two views have merit and demerit.

　　Granted,assigning new teachers and doctors to the countryside may create certain benefits.To begin with,this practice can help foster a strong sense of obligation in many teachers and doctors.They can experience first-hand how the rural residents are held back by the out-moded teaching and medical facilities and this, in turn, can inspire a host of professionals to commit themselves to the alleviation⁵ of this disturbing situation. Moreover,the inferior living and working conditions in the country can temper many of these young professionals’ soul.They are very likely to be more tenacious⁶ and determined⁷ and hence more successful than their urban counterparts in later careers.

　　However,there are even more drawbacks that this practice can engender⁸.In the first place,many young teachers and doctors will feel unmotivated or frustrated⁹ if they are sent to rural areas against their own will.They may have a hard time getting accustomed to the shabby housing and primitive¹⁰ facilities and slack off at work.In the second place,if new teachers and doctors are coerced¹¹ to work in the countryside, a considerable proportion of them may find it daunting¹² when it comes time for them to relocate to cities after a few years in the country.They will feel intense occupational stress when they cannot operate efficiently¹³ equipment much more advanced than the devices they are used to back in the country school or hospital. Last but not least, given the inferiority of the rural educational and medical facilities,it is highly probable that the inexperience of new teachers and doctors will lead to unsatisfactory job performance in rural schools and clinics.We really cannot expect fresh recruits to work wonders with outdated¹⁴ tools.

　　In the final analysis,I concede that sending teachers and doctors fresh out of college to the countryside may produce specific advantages. However,if we enforce this indiscriminately,that will surely generate even more banes. On balance, I am convinced we should optimize¹⁵ our workforce¹⁶ and honor the individual freedom in determining where they work.
