The author alleges that scientific research and development needs government few or any restrictions. In my point of view, I agree that government place some restrictions on scientific research and development, but government should consider the extent of the restrictions on it.

On one hand, scientific research and development needs government's restrictions and support. Without government's support, some scientific research cannot develop well. The first guarantee to develop some scientific research is from government's support. Scientific research needs research funding from government even from the nation to promote its development. Take the spaceship research which costs a large amount of money for instance, if researchers don't get the funding and scientific assistance from government, it is perhaps impossible for any movements in the space research.

On the other hand, government should place some restrictions on scientific research and development. Scientific research and development brings about lots of merits to the society. For example, the invention of computers makes the whole world become smaller and makes it possible for people to know more about the world. Meanwhile, using computers also brings some problems. Some kids and young people are so obsessed in some computer games that they give up their study. To avoid such kinds of problems to happy again, it is essential for government to restrict some scientific research to make sure the research place a favorable influence on the society.

Although it is essential to place some restrictions on scientific research,
few restrictions on research is better?
From what I have seen, I do not think it is good to place few restrictions on scientific research. There is a new movie which showed this. A boy was crazy about science and he kept researching a machine which can turn water into different kinds of food according to the different scientific order and menu.
After lots of failures, he succeeded and invented the food machine. The government of the city where this boys lived encouraged his research and thought his research would bring the profits for the city. However, because of the overworking the machine became a disaster for the city even the world. The food varied so large that it can destory the world. If the government placed some restrictions instead of nothing, maybe this situation will not happy in the movie.

From what has been discussed above, we may safely draw the conclusion that government should encourage scientific research and provide essential support for it. At the same time, scientific research and government also needs government's restrictions.


题目：ARGUMENT210 - The following is a letter to the editor of a news magazine.

"Clearly, the successful use of robots on missions to explore outer space in the past 20 years demonstrates that robots could be increasingly used to perform factory work more effectively, efficiently, and profitably than human factory workers. The use of robots in factories would offer several advantages. First, robots never get sick, so absenteeism would be reduced. Second, robots do not make mistakes, so factories would increase their output. Finally, the use of robots would also improve the morale of factory workers, since factory work can be so boring that many workers would be glad to shift to more interesting kinds of tasks."

The arguer concludes that using robots to perform factory work will be more effectively, efficiently and profitably. To justify the conclusion the arguer cites the fact that robots are used to explore outer space in the past 20 years. The conclusion seems like kind of logical, however, it is based on several problematic respects.

First, the argument depends on the assumption that the kinds of tasks robots perform in the outer space are similar to the ones in the factory. Perhaps robots can adapt to the space environmrnt so they can work effectively. Or maybe robots have less work to do in the outer space than in the factory. So it is not persuasive to get the conclusion that robots will work effectively.

As for the author's claim that the use of robots will reduce the absenteeism. Although robots will not get sick, sometimes they will break down or have some problems in their own machine parts. Without take an account for this likelihood, the author cannot assume that the use of robots will reduce absenteeism.

Then the author claims that robots do not make mistakes and would increase the factory's output. The author did not provide sufficient evidence to show that robots never make mistakes or the workers has lower output.

Another flaw the author claims is that using robots will improve the morale of the worker while the author fails to provide assurances that if the worker shift to another kind of task, they will be happy and work more effectively.

In sum, the author relies on a series of weak analogy and get the problematic conclusions. To strength the argument, the author should provide more evidence to assure that the use of robots in factory work effectively, efficiently.

The author alleges that scientific research and development needs government few or any(应该没有这个短语) restrictions.（这句话有点中式英语的味道。其实开头可以大体上搬原题的句子，这样还不容易跑题： Government should not place many restrictions on scientific research ）In my point of view, I agree that(去掉，前面in my point of view已经有这个意思) government should place some restrictions on scientific research and development, but government should consider the extent of the restrictions on it.

On one hand, scientific research and development needs government's restrictions and support. Without government's support, some scientific research cannot develop well. The first guarantee to develop some scientific research is from government's support. （这三句话给人感觉是平铺的，没有深入阐述的意思）Scientific research needs research funding from government even from the nation to promote its development.

The author alleges that there is no or few restrictions required to scientific research and development. In my point of view, I agree that government should place some restrictions on scientific research and development, but the extent of the restrictions should be deliberated.
On one hand, for the scientific research and development, restrictions and support from government are necessary, sometimes even is the first guarantee, especially the funding support. Take for example spaceship research costing a large amount of money, there would be no movement if lack the funding and assitance from government because of no other organization or company can afford such great and expensive project but with great significance except for government.

On the other hand, government’s restrictions also are necessary to maintain the development of scientific research when the society benefits a lot from research finding. For instance, the invention of computers makes the whole world become smaller and more accessible for people. Meanwhile, it brings some prolems for society such as computer-obessing causes many kids to abandon studying work and indulge themselves in playing game, fraud through network gives many people a great loss in mony,
network is a opening space or community less regulations, thus more secret and cunning frauds. So government is supposed to play an vital role in regulating and guiding the research to the direction of benefitting society.
