1、目前许多商品存在过度包装的现象 2.出现这一现象的原因

3.我对这一现象的看法和建议

1、[写作范文]

On Excessive Packaging

In recent years we can see quite a lot of products are excessively packaged.My newly bought shirt come swathed in tissue paper, placed in a cardboard box and then finished off in wrapping paper.Why do people have a liking for excessive packaging? There are many reasons that contribute to this phenomenon.Firstly, producers are profit-driven and they can raise the prices of their products by delicate packaging so as to make much more profit.Secondly, consumers tend to think it more decent to purchase well-packaged products, especially when they want to buy gifts for their friends.The last but not the least, imperfect taws and regulations make it not possible to completely ban excessive packaging.In my opinion, besides the cost for buyers, excessive packaging also results in the waste of resources and environment pollution.To solve the problem, it's necessary to take the following measures.First, laws and regulations must be perfected to restrict excessive packaging.Second, we need to raise consumer's awareness that delicate packaging doesn't equal to high quality.Meanwhile, we need to advocate packaging recycling.[解析] 本文主题是比较贴近社会的热点话题，提示要求学生先指出现象，阐述原因，最后论述白己的观点。文章可以分为三段，第一段才指出目前市场上的商品存在过皮包装的现象。第二段具体说明出现这种现象的 原因。第三段作者提出了自己的观点和建议。

对过度包装

近年来我们可以看到相当多的产品包装过度。我新买的衬衫来裹着卫生纸,放在一个纸箱里,然后结束了在包装纸。为什么人们喜欢过度包装吗? 有许多原因导致这一现象。首先,生产者利益驱动和他们可以提高他们产品的价格由精致的包装,使更多的利润。其次,消费者往往认为它更体面的购买产品精准,尤其是当他们想买礼物给他们的朋友。最后但不是最少,鞭打和法规不完善使它不可能完全禁止过度包装。在我看来,除了成本,过度包装也对买家导致的资源浪费和环境污染。为了解决这个问题,有必要采取以下措施。首先,必须完善法律法规来限制过度包装。第二,我们需要提高消费者的意识,精致的包装不等于高质量。与此同时,我们需要提倡包装回收。2011年12月

Nothing Succeeds Without a Strong Will

It is known to us all that where there is a will, there is a way.1 A person can probably accomplish nothing without a strong will.2 We can't deny that sometimes people can reach a goal by playing tricks;however, that definitely won't last long.3

People with strong wills cannot be defeated by difficulties easily and they will never give up until they succeed.Take Nobel, the inventor of explosive, as an example, before inventing explosive he took thousands of explosion experiments.4 We can name quite a lot of famous people like

5Nobel, but we can also list some people like the “smoking quitters”.To them, making a plan is so easy as they don't have to keep it.Therefore, they will never realize it.To sum up, a strong will is an important character people should cultivate since it plays a key role in people's success.6 The resolute make resolutions once and for all;the irresolute keep making resolutions all for once.7 To be the winner, try to be the resolute.8 [解析] 1．以谚语开篇，从另一个角度为引出文章的主题作铺垫。2．直陈文章主题，简洁明了，紧扣标题。

3．表面上提出不同观点，用however话锋一转，实则否定这种做法。4．使用诺贝尔发明炸药的例子进一步论述坚强意志的重要性。5．按照题目要求对一些人屡次戒烟不成功的现象进行评述。6．用to sum up总结全文，再次重申坚强意志的重要性。7．谚语作典，精辟入理。

8．感召性话语作结，铿锵有力。

我们要知道,哪里有一个会,有一种方法。一个人可以完成没有坚强的意志。我们不能否认,有时人们可以达到一个目标通过玩把戏;然而,这绝对不会持续很长时间。

坚强意志的人不能轻易打败了困难,他们永远不会放弃,直到成功。把诺贝尔发明炸药,作为一个例子,之前他花了成千上万发明炸药爆炸实验。我们可以的名字很多名人像诺贝尔奖,但我们还可以列出一些人喜欢“吸烟戒烟”。对他们来说,做一个计划是那么容易,因为他们不必保持它。因此,他们将永远不会实现它。

总之,一个坚强的意志是一个重要的角色,人们应该培养起着关键作用,因为它在人们的成功。坚决下定决心一劳永逸,优柔寡断的保持在做出决定所有一次。得冠军了,尽量是坚决的。2011年06月

Recreational activities

1.娱乐活动多种多样。2.娱乐活动可能使人们受益，也可能有危害性。3.作为大学生我的看法 Recreational activities

Among various recipes one enjoys in his or her college life, recreational activities can by no means be ignored.It is numerous activities, such as spoken English competitions, sports events, and clubs and societies of different interests, which help to make campus life colorful and diversified.Facing so many interesting extracurricular activities, we college students have trouble to choose the proper ones.As freshmen, we are confused by all kinds of posters for students’ clubs to recruit new members.There are two opposite views about recreational activities.One says they exert positive influence on a student’s physical and mental development, for they can explore a student’s talent, develop a student's ability in communication, and teach them to be more independent.While, opposite voices can also be heard by asserting that recreational activities waste too much time, and therefore may hinder student from focusing on his or her study.As for me, I hold a belief that recreational activities do more good than harm, because I have always been of the impression that as a college student, he or she, besides the academic information, should pick up more practical skills to be better prepared for the career development.Recreational activities do give us a good chance.And, so long as one can arrange the time by reason, activities besides study will definitely provide more benefit for us.08.12四级考试作文题目：

Limiting the Use of Disposable Bags1、一次性塑料袋曾被广泛使用。

2、造成的问题。

3、限制使用的意义

For many years we have been using disposal plastic bags when we are shopping on the market, and most often these bags are offered by the shops for free.This, undoubtedly, has brought us great convenience in our daily life.However, its disadvantages are also very apparent, and I’ll just venture to explore two aspects.For one thing, the plastic bags are mostly indecomposable in the natural state so that with the increasing use of these bags, it will not only seriously bring about the so-called “white pollution” to the environment, it can also cost us a lot to have them decompose completely so as to minimize their damage to the environment.For another, the production of plastic bags are often not strictly supervised, so a large proportion of the bags don’t meet the requirements for healthy products, which means the more we use them, the more likely we are to suffer in health.The negative effects of the plastic bags are far serious than what I’ve mentioned above, so it’s high time the government issued strict laws andmeasures to stop using the bags.By so doing, we can save a lot of money from producing these bags as well as return a cleaner earth to ourselves and the later generations.

Due Attention Should Be Given to Spelling

1.如今不少学生在英语学习中不重视拼写 2.出现这种现象的原因是… 3.为了改变这种状况，我认为….Nowadays, students attach less importance to the spelling of words in the process of English study.This phenomenon greatly influences students’ writing and brings on worries among teachers.There are possibly three reasons contributing to this phenomenon.First, exam-oriented education makes the students pay less attention to spelling.Second, some teachers should also be responsible for it because they don’t emphasize the importance of spelling during teaching.Last but not least, some students are too lazy to recite words.Since spelling is one of the most important factors in English study, due attention should be given to it.As for me, I think, first, exams should be modified to add some factors into it, which would help students pay more attention to spelling.Then, schools should also set effective mechanisms to help teachers as well as the students to realize the importance.Finally, for students themselves, they can, through other ways, make them be interested in word spelling.Only by these can we surly realize the importance of spelling and make improvement.10.12四级考试作文题目：

On Excessive Packaging

1.In recent years, with the economy growing, all kinds of goods are flowing into our life.The packaging of goods becomes more and more attracting our eyes.However, the problem of excessive packaging has aroused people’s wide concern.This phenomenon exists for a number of reasons.For one thing, the business has seen through the mind of most consumers who are face-saving, for they thought that the more beautiful the packaging of goods is, the best people like.For another thing, excessive packaging can make the majority of merchants get high profit for the cheap commodity by improving price.Perhaps the primary reason lies that the form far outweighs the content.In my opinion, it is more advisable to focus on the quality of goods than to decorate its appearance.So, it is urgent that immediate measures should be taken to stop the situation.Only in this way can we reduce unnecessary waste and have a rational and pure shopping condition, making our money cost worthwhile

2.Excessive Packaging

In this highly commercialized society, the merchants have been making all the effects to add to the attraction of their products.The phenomenon is extremely prevalent that the packages themselves cost much more than the goods in them.Therefore, consumers in growing numbers express serious concerns over this problem.There are several factors that can account for this phenomenon.To begin with, numerous people buy the goods in attractive packages as gifts for their friends, parents, and leaders.In this case, extravagant packages can assist them to demonstrate their care, respect, and loyalty.Moreover, the market has been saturated with homogeneous products.In order to differentiate their products from those of others’ quickly and directly, the manufacturers are more than willing to invest in the packaging.Additionally, the sellers may employ the vivid and exquisite packages as the tactic to appeal to their consumers, who focus no attention on the prices but the psychological satisfaction from the admirable looks from their friends, even the passers-by, when they walk on the street with an eye-catching and flamboyant packages in their hands.（从买家、制造商和卖家三方面各提供一

Literature is acknowledged as the most precious product of human civilization and wisdom, especially by our teachers.So they always ask their students to read as many as literary works.Just as the drawing shown above, a teacher gives a literary work to her student, saying: “Just think of it as if you’re reading a long text-message.”

It is of great significance for us to appreciate literature due to the following reasons.Firstly, a good literature can get you to know a life experience through the eyes of someone other than yourself.The more experience you gain, the more knowledgeable you are.Secondly, a good literature allows you to learn about history in a personalized way.The stories told in the works can act as mirrors and help you adjust your own behaviors.Lastly, a good literature is an effective way for relaxation.The beautiful and moving scenes shown in the literature are helpful for one’s mental health.In short, literature is indispensable in our life.We, students, should catch our time to read more literatures.【总评】

We can see that in this picture, a teacher is teaching her pupils to deal with arithmetic questions, but some of them think that learning these mathematical skills is useless.They argue that by the time they are in the job market, these skills will be outdated.As to whether it is important to learn basic skills, people hold different views.As far as I know, it is very important for one student to acquire basic skills.At first, mastering basic skills well can lay a solid foundation for learning advanced skills.Basic skills are a floor, not a ceiling.Students must learn them first so that they can move on to various advanced skills.What’s more, learning basic skills helps to improve confidence and enhance self-esteem.Individuals with basic skills are likely to be more confident and active.All in all, if we want to keep progressing, it is important to learn basic skills well.By mastering basic skills and learning new things, we will have a bright future!

3.As what is vividly shown in the picture, many college students have the same doubt as the one in the picture that is whether that stuff will be outdated when they graduated and began to work.That stuff, as we can see from the picture, refers to the basic learning skills such as mathematics we learned when we were in primary

Internet does exert such a profound effect on our life that it revolutionizes the way of people’s living and thinking.As is subtly revealed in the portrayal，there are two parents sitting in the front of computer，who are chatting with their child on the internet.What a meaningful picture!

From my perspective, the electronic contact cannot replace face to face communication owing to the following factors.To begin with, over-reliance on electronic contact will damage the interpersonal relationship, for the cold machine never replaces a warm-hearted greeting face to face.For example, the aged parents would like their only son who works far away home to come back home more often rather than to talk with him on the internet occasionally.What’s more, face to face communication is preferable because it is beneficial to build a harmonious society, for it attaches more importance on human affection and feelings instead of convenience and speed.Hence, it is necessary for us to use Internet in a reasonable way.After all, Internet is invented to connect you and me, and to bring conveniences to our life rather than set a barrier to keep people beyond reach.If we want to keep our interpersonal relationship more effectively, we should spend more time with them face to face in real life.Only in this way can we not only make full use of the communication tool on the net but also make our relationship tighter.1.As the drawing presents, there is a man walking across the street absorbedly focusing on his cell phone without noticing the surroundings.This sort of phenomenon is not uncommon and rare in some metropolis, especially among the youngsters.What the picture illustrates is the prevailing situation that has long existed in today's China.That is the mobile phone obsession.With the advent of information age, people are becoming increasingly fascinated on the electronic products, especially the cell phones.Not surprisingly, you could easily notice that most of us are obsessed in sending messages, playing online games with their mobile phones.It cannot be denied that this phenomenon may negatively impact the relationship among people, and therefore they will become estranged and isolated.Personally, in view of the overuse of mobile phones, I hold that we individuals should raise the

As is vividly shown above, a teacher and a pupil stand in front of a blackboard, talking about the relation of internet and education.The pupil, holding a smart-phone in his hand, questions whether he needs any other education or not, with the mastery of Google.While the Internet has greatly impacted how to learn, education doesn’t simply means learning to acquire information because of the following two factors.On one hand, education is very inclusive, so leaning to obtain message is usually a part of it.If we overemphasize students’ ability of acquiring information, we will fail to educate the young to be developed fully.On the other hand, it is only a passive way of learning to obtain information, which do not parallel to creative thinking that is essential for education.Thus, while putting emphasis on education, we should cultivate the youngsters’ awareness of obtaining the knowledge in many aspects rather than just by the internet.Only in this way, can our society be more harmonious;can our economy be more prosperous, and we, as individuals, embrace more promising perspective.3-
