问题     In China, some of the museums charge for admission, with the fee being used to cover the costs of operation, maintenance, acquisition, etc. Some people think that all museums should be free to enter, because they usually carry a history of culture which should be known and enjoyed by all. What is your opinion? Should we charge for museum entry? Write an essay of about 400 words. You should supply an appropriate title for your essay.

答案                   Entry to Museums Should Be Free
    The Palace Museum in Beijing is preserving Chinese history. Sadly, we have to pay to experience our cultural past, because the Museum charges for admission. As far as I am concerned, museum entry should be free, which will increase public exposure to cultural knowledge and fuel the growth of the pillar industries.
    First of all, free access to museums encourages people to learn more. When we have a vague interest in a new field, our curiosity can be satisfied by visiting various kinds of free museums. We don’t have to feel worried or ashamed about spending money on admission. For example, if the astronomic museum in our neighborhood is free, we are usually encouraged to look at the models of stars, meteors and moons. There is a chance that we will develop an interest in astronomy after the visit. On the contrary, an entry fee may discourage people to explore new things and may deprive them of an opportunity to broaden their horizons. For a learning society, no one should be left out simply because he cannot afford to enter the museum.
    In addition to this, free access to museums is a worthy investment for the pillar industries, especially tourism and creative industries. A case in point is the British Museum, arguably one of the best museums to date. Each year, millions of visitors around the world are drawn to London to visit this museum which amazes them by its immense collections. As it is free to enter, most of them pay repeated visits to it and pride themselves as repeated visitors. Contrarily, visitors to the Victoria and Albert Museum in London were down by 15% after it started charging an entry fee. Without any doubt, this free-of-charge museum is the income generator for the tourism industry. Similarly, professionals in creative industries regard museums as a source of constant inspiration. When they rack their brains and get stuck in the creation process, one visit to the local art museum might inspire them. If one museum doesn’t work, don’t worry. Another one down the road awaits them and it is also free. They can try as many as they want, until they find their inspiration. In other words, no charge for museum entry is a strong support for economic development.
    In conclusion, free entry to museums is a magnet to attract public interests in cultural knowledge and an engine to drive the pillar industries. We should not attach a price tag to this valuable facility, the benefits of which are supposed to be shared by all.
