Okay, walking in the park may be a trivial example. How about something more profound? What most people value above all else is freedomnot just the freedoms granted in the Bill of Rights but the freedom to be what we can be, the freedom to love and associate with who we please, the freedom to live in a safe environment, free from violence and harm, freedom to go to school or go anyplace at any time without worrying about the government watching or breathing down your neck, and even the freedom to help others gain their freedom like the U.S. has done in Afghanistan and has been trying to do in Iraq at the cost of billions and billions of dollars, not to speak of the expense of death and human suffering.
It would be nice to believe that the best things in life are free, but only the blissfully ignorant could really believe it. Whoever said theres no such thing as a free lunch knew what they were talking about.
SAT写作点评
The first reader commented: Tuckers opening statement hooks the reader instantly and clearly articulates the essays insight that everything has hidden costs that cant really be calculated. The paragraphs that follow amplify and explain the costs, first of something mundane and ordinary like a walk in the park, and then something abstract, namely the price of freedom. The paragraph about freedom, however, fails to discuss the costs other than those incurred by helping other countries achieve a measure of freedom.
