问题     Seventy outstanding sanitation workers from Yibin, Sichuan province, were sent to Singapore on a study tour, which has sparked online controversy. Some people think that it is much more beneficial to increase their pay than to send them abroad for a few days’ study. What is your opinion? Do you think it is necessary to send sanitation workers on an overseas study tour? Write an essay of about 400 words. You should supply an appropriate title for your essay.

答案                         A Beneficial Move
    Ever since a sanitation workers’ study tour to Singapore was initiated in Yibin, Sichuan Province, there have been ongoing disputes over whether it’s justifiable and helpful. From my point of view, it is beneficial and necessary to send sanitation workers on an oversea study tour.
    Firstly, this study tour demonstrates the society’s respect for sanitation workers as well as recognition the of their hard work. As beauticians of the city, they wake up before sunrise to sweep off fallen leaves and scattered dust and get off work after sunset, covering usually a 12-hour shift even on holidays. They deal with the dirt and filth of the city so that the rest of us can live in a clean environment. Unfortunately, compounding the lack of work protection and a slender income is the inconvenient truth that sanitation workers are almost invisible to the rest of the city. It is under these circumstances that the oversea study tour conveys more significance: not just regard for what they have done but also recognition of their social status. Secondly, a study tour will equip workers with a broadened outlook and enrich their knowledge. In terms of environmental sanitation, China is still "a developing country", whereas Singapore is known as "a garden city" simply for its world-class sanitation administration and urban management. A tour abroad is a great opportunity for sanitation workers to learn from those advanced ideas and invaluable experience, which in turn will benefit our city. In fact, this is not the first study tour for Yibin. In 2010, a group of sanitation workers from Yibin were sent on a trip to Hong Kong, bringing home with helpful advice and suggestions.
    Finally, tours of this kind illustrate an equal chance to study abroad for people from all walks of life. In recent years, there has been growing complaint about overseas trips of civil servants at public expense, mainly because the ones chosen are mostly top officials, some of whom are notorious for spending tax payers’ money on luxurious entertainment. This tour of the common workers is delightful news which gives a great uplift to people’s belief in a society of equal opportunities. It is a fine example for other cities and industries to follow, and an endeavor to bring the whole nation forward.
    Without doubt, the government should also provide sanitation workers with better welfare benefits, such as a pay raise. But we may take this study tour as the first step towards more love and care for sanitation workers and eventually a better society.
