景区是否应向外游客多收费？
【话题评价】
社会类话题，探讨旅游业中是否应向外游客多收费的问题，难度中等。
【结构与思路】
构思雅思大作文时有一个很有用的思路：化抽象为具体。就此题而言，考生可以从具体的角度出发来思考，想想自己当地的景区是否应该向外游客多收费。这样可能会想到说对当地人而言，这样的做法是应该的，因为当地人以缴税的形式对景区建设是有贡献的；但也应考虑到景点票价定位对游客旅游热情的影响。建议采用平衡式论证结构，分别论证这种做法的合理性以及不妥之处，后给出建议。
Introduction
交代背景: Tourists are sometimes disapointed by the fact that they have to pay more than the local people to get access to a scenic spot.
交代观点：我认为这一现象是合理的。(As far as I am concerned, disparities in the ticket price is justifiable.)<span "="">
Body 1: 论点一 当地居民对当地旅游业的发展有所贡献，理应在景区门票上得到优惠。
【主题句】：It can not be denied that local people should benefit from tickets of a lower price, since they have made considerable contributions to the development of local tourism.
【支持句一】：一来，旅游业的发展需要政府出资，而这方面的支出需要税收支撑。（For one thing, the development of tourism requires financial support from the municipal government, to whom local tax payers have contributed quite a proportion of their personal income.）
二来，游客的涌入对当地居民的生活有所影响。(For another, the inrush of visitors may disturb the normal life of local people. For example, visitors are likely to add to the pressure of traffic and force up the prices of local commodities.)
Body 2: 论点二 外游客和本地游客的支付能力不一样。
【主题句】Moreover, there is difference in the paying capacity of foreign visitors and local residents.
【支持句】：普遍的一个现象是，较发达的有钱人去到一些欠发达但风景秀丽的地方旅游。也就是说，游客一般都比当地居民有钱。(It is common that people, usually from developed countries or with abundant money, travel to the less developed areas to have fun. Because of that, they are actually less cautious about money than the local people of the hosting countries.)正因为此，向他们适当多收费他们还是可以接受的。( In that case, it should be acceptable for them to be asked to pay more money to visit the scenic spots.)
Body 3: 让步段：诚然，不合适的票价有可能会对旅游业造成影响。
【主题句】：Admittedly, inappropriate ticket price may have negative influence on tourism.
【支持句】一来，票价差异可能会让游客觉得不公平。(For one thing, Disparities in ticket price may lead to the sense of unfairness in the foreign visitors, which will in turn affect the pleasure that they get from the trip. )二来，过高的票价会增加旅游成本，迫使游客做出别的选择。(For another, over-priced tickets will add to the travelling cost, which may delay visitors’ choice of a certain place. )
因此，政府应该理智地定出景区票价。（Therefore, the local governments have to make sensible decisions about the ticket price, make sure that not only does it benefit local people, but also foreign visitors’ interests are not affected.）
Conclusion
差别门票是有道理的，但是政府应该谨慎定价。
In conclusion, municipal governments have adequate reasons to make disparities in tickets sold to foreign visitors and local people. However, they should think twice before deciding on how much they charge foreign visitors.
