我们就以今年6月份的四级作文On Excessive Packaging为例，具体分析下如何来写好这类作文。这次作文又回归了传统的写作题型：英语题目+汉语提纲。
题目：On Excessive Packaging
提纲：
1. 目前很多商品存在过度包装现象
2. 出现这一现象的原因
3. 我对这一现象的看法和建议
本次作文的话题是“过度包装”，话题不算很新，考生对这类话题应该很熟悉。作文要求中给出了提纲，那么大家写好本篇作文的关键就在于紧跟题目所列提纲：现象—原因—看法和建议，来确定相应的写作结构。要重点分析产生此现象的原因是什么，罗列出最重要的两三点。最后结尾处别忘了给出自己的看法和建议。
用三句简单的英文来总结一下怎样构思这类作文：
1. Describe the phenomenon
2. Talk about the causes of this phenomenon
3. Express your attitude and give people some suggestions on solving the phnomenon of...
但大家在写作中不能太死板，构思的形式可以多样化，只要能保证这三点，其他就可以按照自己的方式来，一定要调理清晰，还可以使用长短句交错的方式，这样节奏便较为明朗。用词也不能太频繁，可以换着同义词来写，这样就不会让你的作文看起来太“干燥”。
我们一起来欣赏一下下面的11个范文吧，取长补短，让自己的写作水平快速提高。
范文1
Nowadays, the phenomenon of excessive packaging of goods is prevalent in our society. Wandering in the supermarkets, one might be dazzled by the fancy packaging of goods on the shelves. Although the government has concerned with the issue, the phenomenon still flourishes.
The reasons can be listed as follows. First, manufactures believe that they can attract customers’ attention and stimulate their purchasing desire by means of over-packaging their goods, thus gaining more profits. Second, quite a number of consumers mistakenly hold the opinion that the more exquisite the package is, the better the quality will be, which encourages excessive packaging. In addition, most of this kind of goods are brought and sent as gifts to their relatives or leaders.
To my mind, excessive packaging can do harm to our society, for instance, it can result in the loss of precious resources and the shortage of energy. In the light of the disastrous consequences mentioned above, every citizen should be aware of the problem, and laws or regulations must be made to restrict the behavior of excessive packaging of manufactures.

I assume that you are familiar with the phenomenon of “Excessive Packaging”. Taking a look around，we can find examples with ease：a small computer is packed in a thick and heavycarton，clothes are putted in a well-designed plastic bagsand moon-cakes are usually placed in delicate boxes.
What are the causes of this problem? On the one hand, to earn moreeconomic gains, a considerable number of manufactures usually wrap their products with unnecessary but appealing materials aiming at attracting customer’s attention , arousing their curiosity and then stimulating their purchasing desire. On the other hand, quite a few customers believe that the moredelicate the package seems，the superior the quality will be,the notion has also encouraged the trend of excessive packaging.
To change this situation, I think we should take the following measures. First, laws must be made and implemented to impose restriction onexcessive packaging. Moreover, a public education campaign should be launched to arouse customers' consciousness that packaging doesn't equal to quality. Only in this way can we put an end to this trend. (185words)
Nowadays, with the rapid development of national economy and elevation of cultural demands, more and more commodities with luxury packaging appear in stores or supermarkets. Lots of people select these commodities to present as gifts to bosses, friends or relatives at festivals.
This phenomenon, which resulted by several factors, arouses hot discussions among people. One of these reasons is the psychology of extravagance-showing among people of all ranks. They tend to feel inferior if their presents look common and simple. On the other hand, lots of merchants, out of the consideration of their commercial profits, use all their efforts to promote their goods, which need to be luxuriously packaged as to meet the demands of market. Last but not the least, some people select these over packaging commodities to please their bosses in order to get a promotion.
Overall, this phenomenon is an outcome of the market economy. It can promote the development of economy, but, at the same time, leads to the corruption of social morality. We should take all measures to reduce the production of these commodities as to control social environment.
In recent years, with the economy growing, allkinds of goods are flowing into our life. The packaging of goods becomes moreand more attracting our eyes. However, the problem of excessive packaging hasaroused people’s wide concern.
This phenomenon exists for a number of reasons.
For one thing, the business has seen through themind of most consumers who are face-saving, for they thought that the morebeautiful the packaging of goods is, the best people like. For another thing, excessivepackaging can make the majority of merchants get high profit for the cheapcommodity by improving price. Perhaps the primary reason lies that the form faroutweighs the content.
Inmy opinion, it is more advisable to focus on the quality of goods than to decorateits appearance. So, it is urgent that immediate measures should be taken tostop the situation. Only in this way can we reduce unnecessary waste and have arational and pure shopping condition, making our money cost worthwhile.
Nowadays, there is a widespread concern over excessive packaging in our country. It is known to all that excessive packaging has negative influences on consumers. And people would turn pale at the very mention of excessive packaging. There are many reasons why excessive packaging emerges, but in general, they come down to three major ones.
For one thing, I argue, Chinese consumers care more about packaging than product itself. For another, the packaging often represents the quality of product, so the manufacturer is eager to do excessive packaging. But the prime reason is perhaps that the department concerned turns a blind eye to this irrational phenomenon. In regard to this problem, steps should be taken to minimize it. The first thing we should do is to emphasize product's quality over its packaging. Another thing we can do is to strengthen the supervvision on excessive packaging.
In addition, the Weibo is one of the most effective media that remind consumers to spend reasonably.

Nowadays, the phenomenon of excessive packaging has becomingincreasingly serious. Lots of packages have already deviated from theiroriginal function. Excessive packaging is a serious waste phenomenon, which deserves our special attention and penetrating research.
There are many reasons accounting forexcessive packaging. Firstly, the promotion effects of excessive packaging havebeen greatly exaggerated by interest-driven merchants. Furthermore, it is irrationalconsumption that led to the phenomenon of excessive packaging. The last but notthe least, as everyone sees it that distempered of the related laws andregulations and inadequate enforcement of the law together contributed tothis phenomenon.
As far as I amconcerned, excessive packaging not only creates waste of resources, but alsocauses unnecessary environment pollution, so we should try our best toeliminate this phenomenon completely. To avoid excessive packaging, we shouldincrease our awareness of this phenomenon and change our ideas towards it. Weshould also establish the atmosphere of simple packaging, advocate appropriate packagingand build a conservation-minded society.
