大作文 Although countries with long average working hours are economically successful, this often has some negative social consequences. To what extent do you agree or disagree? 2020年7月雅思老题 建议思路：I tend to agree 不可否认，平均工作时长较高意味着在同等条件下生产力更强，对经济的发展有促进作用。但科技，管理模式也会大幅度影响产出，所以光凭借工作时长来决定经济发展状况是片面的。相反，在国家的发展中，工作时长越长可能意味着劳动力底下，科技落后等。 但在长时间的工作下，会产生很多负面的影响： 1. 由于长时间工作，人们工作压力会日益增加，在压力大的情况下工作效率的质量反而会下降。 2. 引发各类健康问题，利于肥胖，抑郁等。长时间的工作而缺乏休息的人容易有各类的精神疾病。久坐工作模式的人会由于缺乏运动而引发肥胖。 3.盲目依赖工作时长来推动经济发展会忽略科技，管理等方面对经济的影响。生产效率与人力，科技，管理模式等密不可分。过分依赖靠工时来提高生产成果是无稽之谈，反而会忽略去改善因素而带来的积极影响。 The extra working hours on average is acknowledged to spur economy.

Countries heavily dependent on long-hour working typically represent their low efficiency in personnel and underdevelopment in technology. Another and major disadvantage I must state is that overtime at work exhausts workers, bringing about damaging impacts. For companies, this wearing period at duty can generate lower productivity and, even worse, more chances of errors. Should an accountant miscalculated a great sum of an entry, for example, the employer would have to shoulder the loss. In terms of the labor force, thanks to the endless time, people have to take it too seriously and make it their prime priority. Consequently, they will be suffering from both physical and mental problems, including obesity and depression. Moreover, even if they are earning more, the heavy workload is depriving them of social
