这道题目要求考生展开一个社会问题进行论述，包括问题是什么、产生的原因、对我们生活的影响和怎样解决这个问题等四个方面。我们的社会问题是多方面的，在第一道题目已经进行了分析，如环境问题、人口问题、教育问题、道德问题。考生可以任选，只是需要注意的是一定要回答全面。

Candidate 1: Facing with the housing problem, most people believe that, for their limited income, it is beyond their consideration, but other people consider it differently. They claim that, in spite of the high consumption of housing, it also indicates economy's continuous development in our country.

But what causes so many people to complain about housing problem? Reasons are listed as following. To begin with, it is largely due to the real estate company's engaging in land speculation greatly. Moreover, now people in growing numbers are beginning to realize the importance of pre-consuming. They can get loans from the banks to afford houses. And later they have to pay back gradually. What they have done stimulates the estate business into the fierce competition and results in increasing prices of houses.

From what has been discussed above, I, along with most people, think that government should place the emphasis on the housing problems, and positively exercise macro-control over it. Only by doing this can housing problems be eased and only through government's effective supervision do many people have chances to consider it in a new way according to their own abilities.

Candidate 2: It was a serious problem, and everyone knows that not only China but also the whole world is suffering from more and more traffic problems. There are millions of people hurting or even dying in the traffic accident every year.

Some people are not so careful when they drive on the road, while others drink too much and there are more and more private cars in the world. Traffic problem becomes the biggest concern of many countries in the world, because of not only the environmental pollution caused by the gas and noise, but also the safety issue it takes to people.

At first, the transport polices must work very hard to stop the driver who drinks too much. Secondly, a government should encourage the use of public transport and limit the ownership of private cars, which can make the road not so busy to reduce traffic problems. It may take a lot of time to slove this problem, but I think we can settle it.

Candidate 1回答的是目前的住房问题。一方面，房子价格居高不下，另一方面，人们没有足够的购房能力。答题者在第二部分分析了造成这种现象的原因，如房地产商的投机心理和大力炒作，消费者提前消费意识的提高，政府鼓励通过银行贷款购房。最后一部分陈述了解决的方案，如政府应该加强宏观调控等；Candidate 2回答的是当今另一个热门话题——交通问题，我们在第一部分和第三部分都有很多涉及，这里就不再累述。
