(1)On Excessive Packaging
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 more economic 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 more delicate 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)
中文译文：
我觉得你应该对"商品过度包装"现象也不陌生。

在我们生活的周围，我们随处可见这样的例子：小电脑包装在一个又厚又重的纸板盒里，衣服包装在设计精美的塑料袋里，月饼通常也放在精致的包装盒里。

这个问题的原因到底是什么？首先，很多制造商为了获得更多的经济利益，通常都将商品用不必要却吸引人的包装里，目的在于吸引顾客的注意力，唤起他们的好奇心然后刺激他们的消费欲望。

另一方面，相当多的顾客认为，包装越精致，产品的质量就越高，这个想法也加剧的了商品过度包装的趋势。

为了改变这个现状，我认为应该采取以下的措施，首先，必须制定是执行相关的法律限制商品过度包装；其次，我们应该开展广泛的教育运动唤起人们的意识，那就是，包装不等于产品质量。

只有这样我们才能杜绝这种趋势。

(2)As the drawing presents, there is a man walking across the street absorbedly focusing on his cell phone without noticing the surroundings. This sort of phenomenon is not uncommon and rare in some metropolis, especially among the youngsters.
What the picture illustrates is the prevailing situation that has long existed in today's China. That is the mobile phone obsession. With the advent of information age, people are becoming increasingly fascinated on the electronic products, especially the cell phones. Not surprisingly, you could easily notice that most of us are obsessed in sending messages, playing online games with their mobile phones. It cannot be denied that this phenomenon may negatively impact the relationship among people, and therefore they will become estranged and isolated.
Personally, in view of the overuse of mobile phones, I hold that we individuals should raise the necessary awareness that good relationship are reinforced by sincere and face-to-face communication.
如图了，有一个人穿过街道聚精会神地专注于他的手机没有注意到周围的环境。

在一些大都市，这种现象并不少见和罕见的，尤其是年轻人。

这幅图画说明了当时的情况，一直在今天的中国的存在。

这是手机的痴迷。

随着信息时代的到来，人们越来越着迷于电子产品，特别是手机。

毫不奇怪，你可以很容易地注意到，大多
数人都会在发短信，手机上网玩游戏。

不可否认的是，这种现象可能会产生负面影响的人与人之间的关系，因此他们会疏远和孤立。

就我个人而言，在手机的使用来看，我认为我们应该提高的良好关系是以真诚的面对面的交流加强必要的意识。

(3)The modern technology has greatly altered the mode of communication among people. With the help of the Internet, people can easily contact each other anytime anywhere. However, the side effect is that many people have become over-dependent on the Internet and neglected face-to-face communication.
As far as I'm concerned, electronic communication cannot fully replace the direct contact among people. Although it seems to bring everyone together, it actually estranges people and decreases the effectiveness of communication. A typical example is that, traditionally, people working in the same office simply walk to others and talk. Today, however, co-workers tend to send e-mails or instant messages through the Internet even when they are sitting next to each other. As words can never convey the full message, it usually takes much more time and rounds of
conversation than face-to-face communication, in which people can discuss more directly with less loss of information.
To conclude, the Internet enables more effective communication in some situations, but over-dependence on it actually pulls people apart.
现代技术已经大大改变了人与人之间的交流方式。

随着互联网的帮助，人们可以随时随地联系。

然而，副作用，许多人已经变得过于依赖互联网而忽视了面对面的沟通。

就我而言，电子通信不能完全代替人与人之间的直接接触。

虽然它似乎把大家召集在一起，却让人们减少了沟通的有效性。

一个典型的例子是，传统上，人们在同一办公室工作简单地走到了别人的谈话。

今天，然而，同事往往会通过互联网发送电子邮件和即时消息，甚至当他们坐在旁边。

当语言不能完全传达的信息，通常要比面对面的交流更多时间和回合的对话，使人们可以讨论的更直接的信息损失少。

最后，互联网使更有效的沟通，在某些情况下，但过度依赖它实际上把人们分开。
