  • Dạng opinion essay thì đã rất quen thuộc với các bạn học sinh lớp IELTS ONLINE WRITING 1 KÈM 1 của IELTS TUTOR rồi nhé.
  • Dạng opinion essay, nếu theo hướng TOTALLY AGREE có thể bố cục bài như sau:
    • Body 1: Nêu lí do thứ 1 vì sao TOTALLY AGREE.
      • Main idea: The government’s role in balancing demand and supply in housing is indisputable.
        • Supporting idea: 
          • With huge resources from the national budget from tax collection, the ultimate right in land management and planning, and the priority in the mobilization of human resources to serve the cause of bringing stability to society, the government can build social housing at low prices coupled with the financial package for people with low income to afford their apartments with mortgage loans >> IELTS TUTOR giới thiệu Từ vựng topic "apartment" 
        • Example: Singapore is a country that has a very successful social housing program. The government owns and manages about 80% of the housing stock in Singapore, and it provides affordable housing to about 85% of the population.
    • Body 2: Nêu lí do thứ 2 vì sao TOTALLY AGREE.
      • Main idea: Only limited support for housing problems will come from the private sector because of the greatest challenge of technical and social infrastructures >> IELTS TUTOR hướng dẫn Cách dùng từ "sector" tiếng anh
        • Supporting idea: Costly and even non-profit transport facilities, hospitals, schools and markets can be easily provided by the government for the establishment of new residential areas.
        • Example: 

          The housing crisis in California exemplifies this issue. The state faces a dire shortage of affordable housing, with the private sector unable to keep up with the demand due to the exorbitant costs of land, labor, and materials required for construction, as well as the technical complexities involved in adhering to stringent earthquake and fire safety regulations.

IELTS TUTOR gợi ý bài tham khảo:

It is widely acknowledged that the housing crunch (housing crunchEnglish: a serious shortage of available homes; Vietnamese: khủng hoảng nhà ở) in metropolitan areas can lead to a range of dire social ramifications (dire social ramificationsEnglish: extremely serious negative consequences for society; Vietnamese: hậu quả nghiêm trọng cho xã hội). I totally agree that only state intervention (state interventionEnglish: actions taken by the government to influence a situation; Vietnamese: sự can thiệp của chính phủ) can effectively address this issue.

The government plays an indispensable role (indispensable roleEnglish: a role that is absolutely necessary; Vietnamese: vai trò không thể thiếu) in balancing housing demand and supply. With its monopoly on land-use planning (monopoly on land-use planningEnglish: exclusive control over how land is developed; Vietnamese: quyền kiểm soát độc quyền trong quy hoạch sử dụng đất), substantial tax revenues, and administrative power, the government can provide subsidized housing schemes (subsidized housing schemesEnglish: programs offering homes at reduced prices; Vietnamese: chương trình nhà ở được trợ giá), especially for low-income earners. For instance, Singapore stands out with its public housing program, where around 80% of the population resides in government-built apartments. Such a centrally coordinated effort (centrally coordinated effortEnglish: organized and led by the government; Vietnamese: nỗ lực được điều phối bởi trung ương) would be extremely difficult for the private sector to replicate.

Moreover, the private sector is typically profit-driven (profit-drivenEnglish: primarily motivated by earning profits; Vietnamese: lấy lợi nhuận làm động lực chính) and thus reluctant to invest in areas that lack proper infrastructure. However, the development of essential social amenities (essential social amenitiesEnglish: necessary facilities like schools, hospitals, transport; Vietnamese: tiện ích xã hội thiết yếu) such as schools, roads, and hospitals is capital-intensive (capital-intensiveEnglish: requiring a lot of money to build; Vietnamese: cần nhiều vốn đầu tư), often yielding little or no immediate financial return. In this regard, government agencies are more equipped to shoulder the burden (shoulder the burdenEnglish: take responsibility for something difficult; Vietnamese: gánh vác trách nhiệm). A vivid example is California, where housing developers struggle to build affordable homes due to exorbitant (exorbitantEnglish: unreasonably high; Vietnamese: quá cao) construction costs and complex safety regulations. Without state support, large-scale affordable housing simply cannot be realized.

In conclusion, the government is the only actor capable of addressing the housing shortage on a national scale due to its unique powers and resources.
