同样通过审题,我们可以对正文的结构做如下安排,先写一段让步段,承认题干的论点的合理性即“government action can combat this problem”,再举两个反例,即两段反对意见,除了政府政策外,人们对房子的观念(people’s awareness)以及一些房产公司的举措对解决这个问题都有决定性的作用(key determinant)。通过上述brainstorming, 我们可以写出全篇文章的框架:

Introduction: As a growing number of people find their jobs in urban areas, the increasingly severe housing problem becomes the focus of public.

Main body 1: It is granted that government action plays a pivotal role in combating housing shortage as a range of policies issued by government have alleviated the thorny problem, such as the construction of satellite towns around the city.

Main body 2: However, on no account can we lose sight of the essential part performed by individuals, a portion of whom are suggested to change their concept and attitude towards housing.

Main body 3: Besides, as key determinant, profit-oriented companies of real estate are advised to adopt effective steps, including building high-rise apartment, to use land economically in urban areas.
