Yu Wenjun (www.qianlong.com)
In some people’s minds, overseas study tours are only a privilege for government officials or researchers, while street sweepers have nothing to do with it The practice of the government of Yibin shows respect to ordinary workers. This demeanor shows that the social divisions of labor don’t mean that any career is inferior to another. As long as people can make real contributions to society, they should get the reward they deserve. It’s a positive signal for building a harmonious society.
Sending street sweepers for overseas study tours is not letting them travel at public expense. Street sweepers are important decorators of the city and the guards of the image of a city. Like anyone else, they also need some opportunities to broaden their horizons, such as studying abroad. Sending them for study tours is a change of concept It’s narrow-minded to regard this only as a travel tour at public expense.
In order to make it more effective, those street sweepers must be carefully selected. Besides, after the tour, the local government should make sure all the knowledge they have learned must be fully digested and put into good use.
Study tours at public expense aren’t all corruption. If they are helpful for work, we should encourage them. We shouldn’t abandon them once and for all just because there may be corruption in such tours.
Liu Chuhan (Xi’an Evening News)
The original purpose for this study tour is said to be learning about advanced experience to improve domestic practice in this area. The purpose sounds good. But, is it really necessary to go abroad to learn about advanced experiences? Will the experiences be suitable for us? Even if they have really learned suitable experiences, can those more advanced working patterns be effectively implemented in China?
Second, the tour is sponsored by the government. Then, is the study tour necessary? Is the input-output ratio good enough? We can’t ignore these questions just because it is street sweepers that go for the study tour rather than government leaders. The decision should be made after careful consideration and assessment and the whole process must be under strict supervision.
Another possibility is that they sent out street sweepers to give them a reward for their previous hard work. Some street sweepers even say they would rather have more salary or more holiday allowance than the seemingly fancy study tours. It’s all right to give them an overseas holiday as a reward, but it shouldn’t be in the name of a study tour. If so, isn’t it a kind of corruption?
Overseas study tours must be strictly supervised and controlled. Traveling at public expense in the name of study tours must be stopped. No matter if leaders or ordinary workers go for the study tour, it must be put under strict public supervision.

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. Supporter Ms. Yu regards this tour as recognition of the sanitation workers’ social status, believing it can be of great help to the harmonious society. She also points out that it’s inaccurate to see this study tour as a waste of tax payers’ money. While the opponent Mr. Liu argues that the necessity and the value of this study tour should be carefully evaluated first. In order to prevent corruption, tours spending public expense in the name of study should be under control. 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 of their hard work. As beauticians of the city, they usually cover a 12-hour shift even on holidays. 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 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. Secondly, a study tour will equip workers with a broadened outlook and enrich their knowledge. 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. 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.
解析
材料围绕“是否应该送环卫工人到海外学习”展开讨论,分别给出了支持者和反对者的意见。
材料一是支持的观点,认为送环卫工人到海外学习,体现了杜会分工(social divisions of labor)里职业平等的原则。指出那些把送环卫工人到海外学习当成公费旅游(travel tour at public expense)的观点是狭隘的(narrow-minded)。建议政府应仔细确定人选(carefully selected),保证学习的效果这项举措才有意义。
材料二是反对的意见,首先,送环卫工人到海外学习前应考虑多方面的问题,如这项安排是否必要(necessary)、所学经验是否适用(suitable )和能否有效实施(be effectively implemented)等。其次,也许这也是为了犒劳环卫工人先前的辛勤工作(a reward for their previous hard work),但相比于海外旅行,一些环卫工人更需要加薪(more salary)和多休假(more holiday allowance),而且也不应打着学习的名号,这是另一种形式的腐败。最后点明,为防止腐败,这样的安排应受到严格的监督和控制(be strictly: supervised and controlled)。
