问题     Some people say that the government should ensure that people lead a healthy life, while others believe that individuals should have their own choices. Discuss both views and give your opinion.
选项
答案     The healthy lifestyle is important because it has a direct bearing on our dignity and well-being. Although many people regard lifestyle choices as a personal matter, I do not think they will adopt a healthy lifestyle unless the government intervenes.
    Some people insist that they should have freedom to decide how to live their lives; otherwise, they will be unhappy. They have the incentive to develop and maintain healthy habits believing that these habits can bring enjoyment to their lives. For example, some may increase the intake of fruit and vegetables to keep fit, and if they are confident in their physical appearance, they will have a positive attitude towards life and enjoy a rich social life. Conversely, they will live under enormous pressure, if they are forced to follow the government’s lifestyle guideline.
    On the other hand, it is sometimes argued that tightening regulation on some behaviours, especially those which have been proven to be damaging to health, is more important There are many people who lack self-discipline. For example, they smoke, although it is common knowledge that smoking endangers their health. They would not quit smoking, unless the government imposes the tobacco tax and forbids citizens to smoke publicly.
    In my view, the government should be responsible for educating the public about what to do and offering guidance. People should be well-informed about how damaging their ways of life can be. For example, office workers will try to exercise regularly, if the government launches campaigns to convey the message that a sedentary job can affect health adversely and reduce life expectancy. Awareness campaigns should also provide information about the health problems caused by eating fast food, so consumers will pay attention to healthy eating and read the nutritional information on food packaging carefully.
