范文正文：
 

Some people hold that government should hold the full responsibility to make sure that people
lead their lives in a healthy way. Others, however, argue that it is only the people themselves that
 can decide which lifestyle they pursue. (39 words)

On one hand, the proposal that government should ensure people to choose a healthy lifestyle
sounds reasonable to a certain extent. In fact, quite a number of people, especially young people,
are living in unhealthy lifestyles. For example, a lot of teenagers are staying up late for parties or
PC games, which potentially do harm to their physical and mental health. If government do
something, for instance, banning all pubs and internet cafes in cities, it is likely that those people
will have to discard their obsession and revert to a normal lifestyle. (93 words) Nevertheless, it has
 to be pointed out that although the practice seems to be sounding, it is unlikely to solve the problem
 thoroughly. For example, even if all the pubs and internet cafes are officially banned, chances are
that those young people will still indulge themselves in unhealthy lifestyles playing PC games or
throwing parties till midnight at home.  (58 words)

On the other hand, those who call for the freedom to choose their own lifestyles also have a point.
Indeed, it would be a sign indicating that people’s freedom are fully recognized and respected if
a government leaves the decision to people themselves. (43 words) However, it should not be
ignored that some young people who do lack self-control are possibly to be fully obsessed with
self-indulgent lifestyles if the government virtually does nothing about it.  (31 words)

From the above analysis, it could be noted that either viewpoint has obvious problems. In my
opinion, the government needs to play a role in guiding people to live in a healthy way but it is
never possible for the government to literally “ensure” that by taking compulsory measures.
