W:(17)Which social problem do you think the government needs to concentrate on most?
M: I think housing is a big problem. There are thousands of homeless people on the streets.
W: What do you think the government should do to solve the problem?
M: The government could provide some money for homeless people to build their own homes.
W: It would probably be very expensive.
M: I think the government can afford it. Besides, there are many advantages.(18)Homeless people would find it easier to get jobs if they had a settled address. They would learn some useful skills to find a job in the construction industry or home improvement.
W: It’s not a bad idea. But I think education is the biggest problem at the moment.(19)Schools don’t seem to have enough money to educate kids properly now.
M: If the government is to invest more money in education, it will need to raise taxes. That wouldn’t be popular with citizens.
W: Yes, most citizens want the government to pay for lots of things, but without increasing taxes.
M:(20)The government should show that it is using money efficiently. Sometimes we hear about how the government has wasted money on a project.
W: Yes.(20)The government has limited funds and must show that it is using the money responsibly.
