Harmfulness of Fake Commodities
While decades ago ___________ were practically unheard of in __________,
_______ is suffering from a boom in __________. According to a recent survey, __________. Now it seems almost impossible to find _________.
This phenomenon is due to several factors. First, ________ . Second, ________ . A third contributing cause is __________. All this contributes to __________.
Now it is time something was done to ___________. On the one hand, __________ . On the other hand, __________ . Only when ___________ shall we expect to see __________.
While decades ago fake commodities were practically unheard of in economic life, China is suffering from a boom in inferior and fake goods. According to a recent survey, more than 90 percent of those who were questioned admitted to having been tricked into purchasing fake products. Now it seems almost impossible to find one who would say he has never been influenced by bad products.
This phenomenon is due to several factors. First, some manufacturers are money-oriented. To their mind, producing fake products is a short-cut toward getting rich. Second, some consumers are under the illusion that inferior goods can be used equally but they are much cheaper. A third contributing cause is the law, much of which cannot punish severely those who manufacture fake products. All this contributes to the wide spread of fake products.
Now it is time something was done to get rid of fake products before they dominate our market. On the one hand, law must be made and enforced to punish those who produce and sell fake goods and reward those who fight against them. On the other hand, education must be implemented and strengthened to enhance people’s awareness of the harmfulness of fake products. Only when every citizen in our country takes effective action to combat fake products shall we expect to see a healthy development of economy and a drastic increase in people’s living standard.
Sample 2
Combat Cheating
It may indeed be true to say that ___________. In spite of the fact that________, ________ still ________.
Two main factors contribute to __________. One major factor is _________. The fact that_________ can be another factor. No wander __________.
How to deal with this problem? In my opinion, we have to __________. Meanwhile, we shall ________.
It may indeed be true to say that cheating on exams has been serious at school. Many students admit that they have committed cheating once or twice in the past or at least they have been tempted to cheat. In spite of the fact that school authorities have imposed a severe punishment on dishonest students, cheating on exams still frequently happens nowadays.
Two main factors contribute to this phenomenon. One major factor is out of fear. Many students are afraid that they may fail in the exam if they depend on their own abilities. And a failure in an exam, to some extent, is a failure in one’s personal advancement so they try fair and foul to pass the exam. The fact that some students want to seek fortune by luck in their academic study instead of by hard work can be another factor. No wander so many students resort to cheating on exams at the risk of being find or dismissed from school.
How to deal with this problem? In my opinion, we have to reform our exam-oriented educational system to make it a really effective tool to evaluate students. Meanwhile, we shall instill moral education into students’ mind to arouse their awareness.

Music
Music is very relaxing. After a day of studying hard, it is fun to listen to various kinds of music at home. You can even play a musical instrument for a while, or sing. Music relieves the tension from the problems of a hard day. Music can cheer you up when you are sad.
If you can play a musical instrument, you are lucky. If you play the piano, you can spend hours alone and never be bored. If you play a guitar, you can invite your friends over to sing along. If you play the trumpet, flute, or drum, you can be a member of a marching band. If you play the violin, you can be in an orchestra.
You will probably enjoy music throughout your life if you start young. There will be music in everything you hear: the noise of the ocean, the wind, or a bird’s song. You will hear music wherever you may go.
Classical Music and Popular Music
Music can enrich spirits and enlighten hearts. Some people like classic music and others like popular music. As a student, like most young people, I especially like popular music. There are many kinds of popular music, such as rock music, heavy metallic
music, light music and so on.
Popular music is more accessible to the youngsters, while classical music is a little far away and requires some special knowledge to appreciate it. Popular songs, like “Sweetheart” and “Always Be My Baby”, are very simple. When one listens to these songs, he can easily understand and imitate them.
In addition, most popular music works are written about love—a theme most youngsters care about. Through the association of music and words, popular music is a strong important device of emotional expression. Youngsters cherish romantic dreams about love. They are usually deeply moved by what the singer sings. A friend of mine was depressed when she lost her boy friend. But several days later, I found that she calmed down. I asked her, “Why?” She told me Marian’s songs cheered her up. Furthermore, popular music is expressive of strong feelings. …
At the same time, I can’t deny there are also many merits in classical music. Classical music is more complex and profound than popular music….
Music is sometimes called a universal language. A composer who cannot speak a single word of our language can still make us feel joy and pride, exaltation (意气风发) and despair, peace and mystery, through his music.
Good music often has a wonderful effect upon the feeling of even ignorant people. One poet has said, “Music has charms to soothe the savage breast.” Soft and sweet music soothes the wearied消沉的, the sad, the restless; grand music will fill strong men with great ambitions. The regimental band (军乐队) puts courage into the hearts of troops; the solemn hymns赞歌 fill the worshippers with reverence (崇敬). Indeed, as the poet Dryden once said, “What passion cannot music raise and quell (平息)?”
It is well said, “Through music a child enters into a world of beauty, expresses his inmost self, tastes the joy of creating, widens his sympathies, develops his mind, soothes and refines his spirit and adds grace to his body.”
Music has charms to soothe a savage breast, to soften rocks, or bend a knotted oak.
