Some people think that governments should focus on reducing environmental pollution and housing problems to help people prevent illness and disease. To what extent do you agree or disagree? 有人认为政府应该集中精力解决环境污染和住房问题，帮助人们预防疾病，你是否同意这个观点?
【薛鹏点评】
2015年10月10日雅思写作惯性政府的智能话题(2015年考察政府发展旅游业的利弊，政府是否应该支持艺术项目)，体现热题恒热的趋势。政府职能话题最核心的提问角度是政府是否应该为教育医疗买单，其次是才是否只有政府才能解决住房短缺、政府在环保中如何作为、政府发展旅游业的利弊、政府是否应该举办国际体育比赛、政府是否进行艺术项目投资等。

【首段】 背景介绍 + 争议焦点 + 作家立场
The government, as a decision-maker, is the representative of citizen’s basic interests，hence, every governmental policy will inevitably exert a profound influence on the further prosperity of the nation.

Personally, they are the unshakable obligation of a nation, however，there are still pressing social issues need governmental support and concerns.
【解析】
1. Every governmental policy will inevitably exert a profound influence on the further prosperity of the nation每一项政府的政策对于国家的繁荣都有深远的影响。
2. There are still pressing social issues need governmental support and concerns. 还有很多紧迫的民生问题需要政府的支持和关注。
【二段】 让步段：政府为何应该解决环保和关注住房
Indeed，the government should be accountable for the environmental contamination and housing scarcity. First，the government is the agency that should play the leading roles in safeguarding the environment, therefore, it is imperative for the government to adopt eco-friendly policies and provide its citizens with a cleaner environment. Further，the government has a key role to play stabilizing the housing prices and combating the illegal speculation of some greedy real estate developers. More precisely, some investors purchase many houses in order to gain personal interests, which increases the pressure of other house buyers. Thereby, the governments ought to readjust banking policies to restrict the purchase of speculative houses.
【解析】
1. The government should be accountable for the environmental contamination and housing scarcity 政府应该对环境污染和住房短缺负责。
2. It is imperative for the government to adopt eco-friendly policies 政府采取环保的政策是势在必行。
3. combat the illegal speculation of some greedy real estate developers 打击贪婪的房产开发商的非法投机行为
【三段】 反驳段：还有哪些问题应该优先解决
Nonetheless，the government has more pressing social problems that need to render more concerns over. First，advanced education is the key factor in promoting the basic quality of a nation’s population，in this sense，free education could enable those who coming from humble background or remote rural areas to receive fine education, which injects new life into the further mightiness of a nation. Also，free medical care provided by the government should be deemed as a returned favor for those tax-payers. Every citizen could become the beneficiary of perfect medical treatment if a nation can lay a greater emphasis on optimizing medical care.
【解析】
1. Advanced education is the key factor in promoting the basic quality of a nation’s population 先进的教育是提高国民基本素质的关键因素。
2. Free education could enable those who coming from humble background or remote rural areas to receive fine education，which can inject new life into the further mightiness of a nation. 免费教育可使来自贫困家庭或者偏远地区的人接受优良教育，因此，这可以为国家的强大注入新鲜活力。
3. Every citizen could become the beneficiary of perfect medical treatment 每个公民可以成为完美医疗的受益者。
【尾段】 亮明观点 + 总结理由
Overall, my stand is that the government should assume the responsibility of improving the environment and reduce the pressure of housing shortage, yet, the relevant budget is expected to be rational. Meanwhile, proper support should also be allocated to education and medical care.
【解析】
1. The relevant budget is expected to be rational 相关的预算应该是合理的
2. Proper support should also be allocated to education and medical care. 政府还应该支持教育和医疗。
