---------- Question 4 ----------
 
You should spend about 
40
minutes on this task. 
Write about the following topic.
In many countries, a small number of people earn extremely high salaries. Some 
people believe that this is good for the country, but others think that governments 
should not allow salaries above a certain level. 
Discuss both these views and give your own opinion.
Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own 
knowledge or experience. 
You should write at least 
250
words. 
Example 1
Generally speaking, people hold different views about whether the government 
should introduce a limit for the maximum and minimum range of the salaries while 
some claim that the high payments of some employees have a positive effect on a 
country. Personally, I believe the authorities should arrange the salaries of the 
workers under a specific program. This essay will explain why I think this is so. 
First of all, it is clear that there are many reasons why it is considered beneficial for a 
country when some people earn extremely high salaries; if companies offer excellent 
payments, they will attract the most talented people to work for the company and 
drive their business successfully. Consequently, this tendency will bring 
a 
good 
reputation to the country and boost the economy significantly. In addition,
a 
high 
salary
status
means there are more taxes which is indirectly 
beneficial to
everyone . 
F
rom 
the other
point of view,
the presence of a huge gap between the wages of the 
bosses and their workers
will definitely demotivate them
and
as a result
cause 
low 
production quality,
especially for those who feel this situation is unfair. 
Moreover,
setting a limitation between the high and low pay of general employees 
perhaps can improve life standardization of the citizens as no massive difference 
among people who have the same university degree and 
the 
same years of 
experience.
