Ask for an English composition (argumentative essay)
In China, it is a trend to look beautiful, especially when people decide to buy something as a gift for their friends. This has automatically triggered the rapid development of the packaging industry, but it has also caused a huge waste of resources in our country. A good example is to buy a bag of China tea. The tea itself may cost more than 500 RMB, but it includes the packaging of RMB near 200 yuan. When you buy a product in a luxury box, does it mean high quality? The answer is "maybe". "Maybe" here means that there is a 50% chance to buy really good things, and another 50% chance to buy garbage or fakes. A friend of mine spent 1800 yuan to buy a bottle of Maotai, and he was very embarrassed when he found water in it in front of the guests he invited. This is crazy. Things have become so expensive and beautifully packaged that many companies that produce junk products are playing the same trick. We should criticize the manufacturers who produce rubbish and fake and inferior commodities, but those companies that charge customers high fees just for packaging should be praised? No, as consumers, we need to think about this question: Why do we have to chase after superficial things when shopping? Why should we buy expensive gifts for our friends? Are laptops, phone and electronic products really gifts that we have to buy for others? Can we change our way of expressing our love for the people you love with just one suitable thing instead of telling them how much it is worth? If we count our population, it is easy to find that 99% people will express their hatred of bribery and corrupt officials. However, how many of us have ever asked ourselves a question, such as "What did I do to cause corruption in our country in the past year?" (Author: ztlthb)
