首段：背景介绍 + 争议焦点 + 作家立场
二段：让步原题观点的合理性
三段：反驳原题观点之不合理
尾段：再次亮明观点 +(总结理由)
【作家立场】： 保持健康是个人和政府的责任，但是，个人应该承担更多的责任。
【思路拓展】：
为何保持健康是履行社会责任：
① 保持身体健康是个人履行社会责任的体现，因为这减少了对于国家医疗资源的消耗，国家就有财政预算解决其他民生问题。
② 如果个人的健康没有保障，难以胜任工作挑战，亦无法为社会发展做出应有贡献。相反，健康的公民可以创造社会财富，为国家发展注入新鲜活力。因此，是个人社会责任的体现。
为何保持健康是良好的个人习惯：
① 对于个人的利好：增强自信，减少忧虑，培养乐观人生态度。健康者通常为热爱运动者，通过运动可结实好友，这就意味着快乐源泉之增加。
② 对于家庭的利好：可以想象，个人健康状况令人担忧，家人必然痛苦和担忧(例如企业家和文体明星)，因此，个人健康可以使人乐观地实现家庭的和谐。
③ 对于事业、学业的利好：个人健康可以提高学习和工作效率，使人精力充沛地应对事业的挑战。
