The line graph compares the areas of land for growing organic crops in two different countries during the period from 1985 to 2010.
In 1985，the areas of land for organic crops in country A and B were both 25 thousand hectares. In the following five years，the figures experienced a slight increase and reached 60 and 30 thousand hectares in 1990，after which they speeded up and rose to 160 and 140 thousand hectares respectively.
From 1995 on，the figure for country B continued to grow and peaked at 280 thousand hectares in 2000. After remaining stable for five years, the area dropped dramatically to less than 150 thousand hectares. By contrast, there was a small increase in the figure for country A from 1995 to 2000. After that, the area declined，although it still outnumbered that for country B in 2010.
Overall, in the first 15 years，the areas of land for organic crops increased in these two countries, while the figures dropped in the next 10 years.
Task 2 政府类
政府类话题是雅思大作文每年的必考题目，一般每年会出四到五次，近年来有增多的趋势。很多学生尤其是年龄较小的学生对于政府类话题感到“无话可说”，就算勉强说上几句，也只能是浮于表面，没有办法展开。
对于政府类话题，在雅思大作文中主要考察的就是政府投资方面的问题。主要包括两个方面：一是政府的钱往哪里投，第二就是将政府与私有企业进行对比，分析二者投资的区别。其中，又以第一类话题居多。下面来给大家讲解一下这次的政府类作文。
作文题：
some people believe that many people who work for creative arts such as painting. theatre and music should be supported financially by government, others think that artists in creative arts should be supported by other sources instead. discuss both views and give your own opinion.
题型类别：双边讨论类
题材类别：政府类

1、As governments struggle to pay for such basics as education and health care—and with private donations in decline—funding for the arts has taken a hit.
Struggle to do sth. 努力做某事，可以与try to do 互换。
Take a hit：受到打击，遭受影响。
2、But why should arts funding be the government's responsibility? Some are quick to argue that tax dollars are better spent on keeping the streets safe and the lights on, not on enabling plays and paintings of subjective merit.
Be better spent on… not on doing…比较级的用法。此处描写的非常具体，说明了很多人认为纳税人的钱不应该用于投资艺术。
3、Keynes believed that public investment in the arts would yield both cultural and economic dividends.
Yield：生出，产生出文化与经济利益。
4、And public funding has enabled arts groups to leverage money from other sources, such as corporate sponsorship and private philanthropy. Of course there is a value to such things, measured in jobs and tourism, improved neighbourhoods and cultural exports.
Enable: 使某人做某事
Leverage money from…利用······的钱。这一部分讲了政府投资艺术的好处，非常具体。
5、Yet art can and does thrive without government support, says Peter Spence at the Adam Smith Institute, a libertarian think-tank in London. In opposing the motion, he argues that the British canon owes much of its existence to patrons and fee-paying audiences, not the fickle bureaucracy of government subsidies.
Thrive：繁荣
Opposing the motion：反对
Government subsidies：政府补助
6、It encourages artists to try to appeal to government donors, and it places their work at the mercy of political whims.
Appeal to：呼吁
Government donors：政府捐助
At the mercy of：在······的怜悯之下
7、It was essentially an attempt to address market failure; the market, of itself, would not provide a sufficient range of high-quality art or develop the infrastructure that was needed.
这个句型可以用来表示强调某事情的必要性。
Develop the infrastructure：发展基础设施

Introduction
Visual and auditory arts play a key role in education and entertainment, making these fields integral aspects of our society among all ages. Nevertheless, there is a controversial division about whether these areas ought to receive, or if they are even deserving of, any public funds.
Body
The arts form an intrinsic part of a country and have an ability to maintain traditional culture, as long as it is prevented from being absorbed by modern or foreign influences. As a result, government should invest funds into these historical types of art in order to educate its citizens and preserve their existence. There are ancient paintings, theatrical arts and musical instruments that ought to be housed and conserved in museums. The destruction of these precious pieces of art could signify a considerable loss of culture, whereby future generations will miss out on them.
Artists and their outputs ought to adhere to the economic principles of supply and demand, whereby the necessity for their work is dictated by the need from society. Nevertheless, there are artists, dramatists and musicians who are relatively wealthy and do not require subsides from government to survive. As society evolves, perhaps certain genres of art are not needed anymore and it would be economically unfeasible to keep them afloat using taxpayer dollars. Instead, programs that have immediate impacts on the lives of citizens must be focused on, including education, healthcare and social services.
Conclusion
From my perspective, only art forms that are deemed nationally significant ought to receive government funding. In this way, it would be fair for a host of other industries who cannot easily obtain financial assistance.
