托福独立写作题目：

The government should support artists or should artists supportthemselves.

Introduction:

People contend thatthe government is not obligated to offer any kind of financial support toartists because they are just like other able-bodied and able-minded adultswho are supposed to make a living by themselves.

引出话题：

又见用反方观点和反方理由引出话题。

But from myperspective, being artists is a unique profession and they deserve the extraattention from governments.

我方观点+ 下文总结：

转折表达我方观点：艺术需要政府支持。 

Body paragraph 1

First of all,financial support to artists would enable current artists to contribute moreto our society.托福雅思换算表

主题句：

扩展支持艺术利一：有利于艺术繁荣。

It is not uncommonin history that great artists were barricaded by financial problems or evengave up their callings eventually due to their pennilessness like Van Goghand great Chinese painter Baishi Qi. Since artistic creation is a tedious andlong-term process without tangible rewards, most artists might find it hardto afford their own living.

背景信息：

为什么作者会提出此分论点？历史上很多伟大的艺术家都因穷困放弃艺术。

If governments, atthis point, assumed the responsibility to support artists, these talented andcreative people would no doubt accomplish more truly innovative artisticworks. After all, in order to devote their heart and soul to the pursuit oftheir real interest, people should first have the ability to support theirbasic necessities of life.

解释主题句：

写完背景，引入段落最重要的环节—解释主题句：政府若能资助艺术家，他们就能创造出更多伟大的艺术作品。毕竟，温饱是追求理想的前提。 

The United Statesmovie industry is a great case in point. Due to the effective financialsupport given by the U.S. government, movie industry in this country isbooming. Based on the subsidy offered by governments, filmmakers here arefree and bold to explore every possibility. They can just let their wildimagination surge and their creative ideas spark. So, there is no wonder thatpeople around the globe are willing to go to movie to appreciate the greatand inspired films made by these innovative movie directors. 

举例论证：

作者用美国政府对于电影业的支持细化前方逻辑链：What kinds ofspecific support do governments give to artist? à How flourishing is art?  

Moreover, supportingart financially can benefit the whole society.

主题句：

扩展支持艺术利二：有利于整个社会。

It is tempting tothink that it is not a necessary function for government to devote theirlimited budget to art. After all, art is never the basic needs for people.Query whether a starving person will prefer a good painting to even a badmeal?

段内让步：

作者在解释主题句之前先扔出一个错误理念作为让步：很多人会认为艺术并不值得政府花钱，毕竟，艺术并不是人们的基本需求。

However, theadvocates of this argument forget that by allocating money to the artsgovernments actually help to solve those most pressing social problems theyare concerned about like unemployment and starvation.

解释主题句：

转折，再次强调主题句。

Return to theabove-mentioned example. Nowadays, movie industry has become a multibillionbusiness and it provides numerous job opportunities not only for directorsand actors but also for artists in various fields ranging from musicians whoare responsible for theme song and background music, fashion designers whoare in charge of all the costumes to special effects make-up artists whosecreativity and imagination give life to those monsters, beasts and fairies inmovies. As a result, not only the GDP figure rises due to larger sum ofnational revenue, but social welfare increases thanks to people's stablelives and high satisfaction towards their jobs.

举例论证：

作者继续以美国电影业为例细化主题句：美国电影业的繁荣为导演，演员和各种艺术家都提供了就业机会。GDP因此增长，社会福利也因此提高。

Conclusion

Combining the two advantagesmentioned in the passage above, supporting art can not only encourage artiststo be more committed to their cause, but also benefit the nation as a whole.Thus, it is wise for governments to support art development.
