英语对话(四人辩论)

A:f
We are the affirmative side; we hold the opinion that we should give money to beggars.
our Chinese have a good tradition which is “to cultivate one’s moral character, to serve our nation”.
We sympathize with the weak, and should help them, especially when they are in helpless. Beggars abandon their dignity, beg to you in public, don’t you sympathize with them? So I think we should help them.

B:Sorry,I can’t agree with you. In my opinion, we shoudn't give beggars money because if we do, it would be like we are encouraging this kind of behavior, and maybe more people who can't find jobs would choose to become beggars too. That would be a huge step down for the economic development of China.
C:
Giving a little money to beggars is a proper way to help them. Beggars in front of us are disabled, helpless, down and out, children, women, old, and poor people, giving them one or two coins causes no loss to you, furthermore, what you give is not only one or two coins, but also one kind of hope of their life. If they could earn some money through these one and two coins begging from you, which can help them get through hardly days, it’s pretty valuable!

D:But I believe that no matter what our place in society is, we shouldn't take anything for granted. Beggars achieve money by doing nothing, which isn't really fair to everyone else who has to work for money. It a bad example to tell people you can get money by just sitting on the ground . What about the men who are working day and night, it will hurt them.
A:
Could you imagine yourself living like a beggar for one or several days? No, I’m sure you couldn’t. Moreover, nobody wants to live as a beggar for a whole life. Moreover, to be born is easy; and to be alive is easy too, but to live a life is hard. Moreover, hope is very very important to life, no hope of living a life; one may kill himself, thinking of the Foxconn’s jumping workers; worse, some not only abandon themselves, but also hurt other people, thinking of those attacking children events; comparing to these, don’t you think begging streets and stations is more reasonable and acceptable? Would you not give beggars hope? Would you push beggars to kill themselves, or to hurt you?
B:sorry,I don’t think it is the core of the question. Raiding is a criminal action, it’ s not the reason for them to have excuse begging on the street. I think everyone should earn a life by his own hands, struggle by his own feet. Expecting for others help,you can do it for once or twice ,not a job throughout your life,I don’t think we have duty to help them forever.
C:
But it hardly causes your loss to give them a little money, receiving a little money from you, beggars could live a more respectful life .
D:compared with giving money to beggars,I would rather donate it to a poor child who wants to go to school. I think in order to help our country develop at a rapid rate and discourage such phenomena like be

ggary, it's best if we don't give beggars money and claim our government to take a more efficient measure on it.
A: As you said, our government should provide the very basics to those who are unable to support themselves. But our government (charity organizations) can’t consider everyone who needed help. So we as a people should lend our hands. As the proverb puts it “if one has no compassion, then the one and animals is no different”.

B:In fact,many beggars are able to work or even some of them have jobs, they just want to use this way to make more money without extra work, they cheated us ,they use our compassion, so I can’t believe in them. In order to give money to a cheater, I would rather throw it away.
C:
Although, some beggars, even though some of them are children, women and old, turn out to be cheaters, thieves, lazy-bones, this is not important! This is not the key factor of the attitude when we face beggars! Is it just because worrying about be cheated then you turn a blind eye to them? In this way they struggle at the bottom of our society, we should respect their right of living; it’s an attitude problem toward beggars.

D:well, you are somewhat right. Begging it’s really a serious social problem nowadays. In fact, every time I pass the bagger, my feeling is complexed. I will give them money selectively, such as old and young. maybe this is a best way for me to face them.
