　　On Excessive Packaging

　　 【范文及解析】

　　首段：现象描述

　　In contemporary society, it has become a trend for many products or items to be excessively packaged. In the meanwhile, an increasing number of customers find it more expensive to purchase these goods. Taking a look around, we can find a great many examples in supermarkets: excessive packages of food, clothes and gifts.

　　当今社会，商品往往被过度包装。同时，越来越多顾客发现这些商品更贵了。看看我们周围，可以发现超市中就有很多这样的例子:食品，服饰和礼物都存在过度包装。

　　二段：原因分析(这个的写作思路，专门强调过，见考前最后作文第二篇)

　　It is evident that the causes of this phenomenon are diverse. In the first place, some customers' psychological need is the root cause. These packages bring the sense of beauty, arouse people's enthusiasm to buy, and help manufacturers to promote sale. In the second place, it is these packages that enable shops to build up a foundation for advertising. As a matter of fact, industries in mounting numbers have come to realize the necessity of packaging for sale.

　　显然，该现象原因是多方面的。首先，顾客的心理需求是本质原因。这些包装给顾客带来美感，激发他们购买的热情，帮助了商家提升销量。此外，也正是这些包装使商店能给商品的宣传广告。

　　尾段：观点+建议

　　However, as a customer, I am convinced that quality of goods is of great importance. Thus, we should educate, advocate and encourage our friends, classmates and acquaintances to buy goods without excessive packages. (170 words)

　　然而，作为顾客，我坚信商品质量是重要的。因此，我们应该教育，倡导和鼓励我们的同学，朋友和熟人们去购买不过度包装的商品。

　　最后，笔者依然建议：背诵模板不是最有效的方式，因为模板的思路是死的，出题的思路是灵活的。很可能所备非所考，但积累六种功能段落和先关的表达，然后按照试题要求去写对应的段落才是最有效的方法。
