IELTS Task 2 : Economy

How should we be paid?

Some people feel that certain workers like nurses, doctors and teachers are undervalued and should be paid more, especially when other people like film actors or company bosses are paid huge sums of money that are out of proportion to the importance of the work that they do. How far do you agree? What criteria should be used to decide how much people are paid.

Whether workers like doctors and teachers are undervalued or not is a debatable issue. However, I believe that workers such as teachers and doctors should be paid more money for countless reasons.

First of all, in my opinion, workers like teachers are more important for the society than actors. Therefore, they should be paid large sums of money to keep them educating people. Education is very essential for any society to progress and develop. Therefore, teachers play an important role for performing this necessary aspect of development. Without teachers it will be impossible to know the basic levels of education, so teachers build students to progress socially, intellectually and educationally. As a consequence of this teachers should be valued according to this very essential role for the society.


Secondly, I personally believe that film actors/actresses do not play the same role as doctors. Doctors protect people from spread of infectious diseases which could damage not only the health of the general public, but also can deteriorate all aspects of our life. Without doctors, many well educated and productive people may be killed by diseases. Therefore, the doctor are very useful in health and progress which are necessary for any nation in the world wide. As a result of this position they should be paid some more money to keep the general public health and productive.


Thirdly, I largely disagree that film actors/actresses are important. I think they do not take part in developing a nation’s health and progress. Although they receive huge sums of money, they do not achieve any significant development for the society. I believe that their job is not as essential as health, economic progress and technological achievement. In contrast, progress and technological development as well as health of the nation depend mostly on teachers and health care works. Therefore, the latter should be more respected and paid to them the amount of money they deserve.


To sum up, I strongly be that works such as teachers and doctors are more important than film actors/actresses. Therefore, the former should be considered more than the latter and paid to them accordingly to this essential role they do for the society.
