2013年9月12日雅思写作范文：Countries with a long average working time are more economically successful than those countries which do not have a long working time.

To what extent do you agree or disagree

范文1：

In some countries the average working hours are relatively longer than those in other countries. This practice is obviously based on the assumption that the harder work, the more prosperous economy. However is this really true in reality? I doubt it truly。

The holders of this view may think that investing more time in work contributes to more production, hence helping create more wealth. It is true that there is a direct link between how long a worker works and the outcome. For example, 10 hours of manufacture in a factory can achieve double production of 5 hours. However, it is not production but productivity that is responsible for economic success. In developing countries like China or India, the respective GDP cannot be said low in the world, but the average figure is relatively lower than developed countries such as USA and UK.

Prolonging working time actually imposes some incidental negative effects on a country’s economy. The first one is the potential growing health care cost because fatigue tends to harm the employees’ health, therefore leading to more consumption of medical resources. In addition to economic loss, the workers’ decreasing satisfaction to their workplace due to being coerced to extend their working time is another consideration if we believe that workers’ emotional wellbeing can affect their productivity. Absenteeism and sick leave are reported by many employers to be the two most counterproductive factors.

In conclusion, I personally cannot agree with the view given and my evidence is that economic long-term prosperity is not determined by production, and therefore lengthening working hours does not necessarily sustainably boost economy. The additional supporting ideas include possible building up medical expense and diminishing contentment to work.
