[For IELTS] Advantage or disadvantage: charging people for admission to museums I'm preparing for the IELTS test, if you have any suggestion to my article please let me know. Thank you. :) -- Question: Many museums charge for admission while others are free. Do you think the advantages of charging people for admission to museums outweigh the disadvantages? -- It becomes a heated debate that should museums charge for admission. From my opinion, I agree with charging for entering a museum but I also have some suggestions to help those who cannot enter museum due to finance problem. There are some reasons for my standpoints and I will explain them at following paragraphs. Firs of all, I believe some people will support the idea, entering museum without paying money because they think artworks in the museum belong to everyone and all of us has the right to appreciate them for free. Secondly, some of them might declare that it will be an encouragement for people to know more about art if they do not need to pay. These two points benefit to people, however, they forget to mention the shortcoming. The main factor for me to support charging for admission is filtering the crowd. Tickets sold to those who really like exhibitions could prevent their right to enjoy the moment. Avoiding people just want to get into building for air condition and disturb appreciators. In addition, people will cherish this chance to watch this display if they spend money for admission. Meanwhile, for those poor persons and students, museum could offer privilege tickets to them. The money also supports museum to maintain the environment in order to provide a better space to everyone. By the way of conclusion, I reaffirm my statement that I believe the advantage of charging people for admission to museums outweigh the disadvantages. People pay for the ticket for protecting their right to watch the artworks they really love also help preserve museums.
