高分范文及解析

Introduction

A conundrum besetting the general population is the housing deficit especially in metropolises. Some people claim that only the authority can resolve this crisis. Overall, I tend to agree with this view.

解析

非常老的一個(gè)話題，母題為城市規(guī)劃urban planning. 今天我們采取非常規(guī)思路。題目雖然出現(xiàn)極端詞only，但我們也可以提出“其他方”也能做出貢獻(xiàn)，但最終都需要政府規(guī)劃或出臺政策。

? conundrum n. 問題

? beset vt. 困擾

? deficit n. 缺乏；不足

? metropolis n. 大都市

Body 1

Some opposing such a statement may assert that individuals can alleviate such tension by altering their traditional views or persuading others to migrate to some developing areas. This is mainly because the sea of people each year tend to flood into metropolitan areas, as they hold the conventional wisdom that only when dwelling in large cities can they seek for better job opportunities, which further incurs the scarcity of housing. Once average people change such a convention, the number of residents in modern cities will diminish, thus relieving the crisis. / However, although ordinary people can persuade others not to crowd into large cities, they are not empowered to force others to do so. In comparison, the government can issue certain subsidisation policies to make rural areas more attractive alternatives. 

解析

讓步：有人認(rèn)為造成住房短缺的主要原因是：人們都想往大城市涌，因此，個(gè)人可以改變自己觀念，進(jìn)而緩解住房短缺。//反駁：想法很難改變，且個(gè)人只能說服別人這么做，卻不能強(qiáng)制。而政府可以出臺政策，吸引人才去往周邊不太發(fā)達(dá)的地區(qū)。

? assert vt. 斷言，主張

? migrate vi. [尤指為找工作]移居，遷移

? metropolitan adj. 大城市的，大都會的

? (the) conventional wisdom n. [有時(shí)是錯誤的]公眾意見，普遍看法

? scarcity n. 缺乏，不足

? crowd vi. 聚集，擁擠

? empower vt. 授權(quán)[某人或某組織做某事]

Body 2

Additionally, some may argue that property developers can also mitigate the problem by constructing more high-rise structures with a larger capacity or economical housing instead of unattached villas or terraced cottages. However, urban planning, with real estatedevelopment included, is a technical and political process concerned with the use of land, protection, public welfare, and so forth. Thus, it is not companies but authorities that have not only the ability to take every factor into consideration but also the power to decide what kind of housing to be built.

解析

讓步：有人認(rèn)為造成住房短缺的原因是：商家建的很多住房華而不實(shí)，容納量小。因此，商家可以建更多較高的經(jīng)濟(jì)適用房。//反駁：大城市的房屋建設(shè)涉及整體的城市規(guī)劃，需要把很多因素考慮進(jìn)去，并不是商家能決定怎么建，還是需要政府批復(fù)。

? property developer n. 地產(chǎn)開發(fā)商

? mitigate vt. 減輕，緩解，緩和

? real estate development n. 房地產(chǎn)開發(fā)

Body 3

Moreover, the effect of government action is much more extensive, as it can utilise its legislative and political power with which other parties are not equipped. Corresponding policies can only be issued by the administration to target diverse circumstances, such as imposing additional tax upon residents owning several houses and setting public rental housing for low or medium income citizens.

解析

進(jìn)一步論證：政府的影響更為廣泛，且具有其他方不具備的立法權(quán)，還能根據(jù)不同的情況出臺相對應(yīng)的政策，比如：多房征稅、公租房等。

? extensive adj. 廣泛的

? target vt. 以…為目標(biāo)

? public rental housing n. 公租房

Conclusion

In light of the above, only the government can tackle the housing shortage despite the minor efforts of other parties.

解析

重申觀點(diǎn)
