Short Q Could you tell me what this article is about?
TALK A This article is about the Korean government’s plan to

impose a tax on unhealthy goods such as alcohol and
junk food.
Q What made the Korean government consider the tax
measure?
A The government believes that the recent increase in
medical costs and chronic diseases came from unhealthy
eating habits.
Q What other action is the government considering?
A The government is also considering getting rid of soft
drink and junk food vending machines from public places.

Long 도입 I disagree that the government should put an extra tax on

TALK junk food and alcohol.
근거1 First of all, I think it is entirely an individual’s choice to
decide what to eat. The government should not have any
control over one’s private life.
근거2 Second of all, I don’t think a high tax will decrease the
number of people eating junk food and drinking alcohol.
It is very similar to the high tax on cigarettes to encourage
people to stop smoking. As you know, the policy has
completely failed.
마무리 That’s why I don’t agree with the idea of placing a high tax
on some unhealthy food.

저는 정부가 정크푸드와 주류에 추가 세금을 부과하는 것에 반대합니다.
우선은, 무엇을 먹을지 결정하는 것은 전적으로 개인의 선택이라고 생각합니다.
정부가 개인의 사생활에 어떤 통제권도 가져서는 안됩니다.
두 번째로, 높은 세금이 정크푸드를 먹고 음주를 하는 사람들의 수를 줄여줄
것이라고 생각하지 않습니다. 이것은 금연을 장려하기 위해 담배에 높은 세금을
부과했던 경우와 매우 유사합니다. 알다시피 그 정책은 완전히 실패했습니다.
따라서, 저는 건강에 안 좋은 식품에 높은 세금을 부과하는 것에 반대합니다
