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

Answer 1

Nowadays the phenomena of excessive packaging of goods are prevailing in our society: clothes swathed in tissue paper, placed in cardboard box and finally wrapped in well-designed plastic bags, imported bottles of grape wine packed in wooden boxes, fruits put in hand-woven baskets, to name but a few.
There are several causes of excessive packaging. The first reason is that a large number of companies believe that they can attract customers’ attention and stimulate their purchasing desire by over-packaging their goods, thus gaining more profits. On the other hand, quite a number of consumers mistakenly hold that the more delicate the package is, the better the quality will be, thus encouraging excessive packaging.
In my point of view, excessive packaging has disastrous consequences, including the loss of precious resources, excessive consumption of water and energy, and unnecessary extraction of scarce land for landfill.
To solve the problem, it’s necessary to take the following measures. First, laws and regulations must be made to restrict excessive packaging of companies. In addition, we need to raise consumer’s awareness that excessive packaging doesn’t equal to high quality and advocate packaging recycling.

解析此文为说明文：首先，审题：时态，因为是说明的现状及自己的观点，所以用一般现在时为主。第一段：说明许多商品存在过度包装的这个现象，来引出话题。第二段：对其原因进行分析，从厂家和消费者双方的角度说明原因。第三段：说明自己对此现象的看法。最后一段：自己的建议。针对其原因，提出有针对性的解决办法。
