1. 过度包装

On Over-packed Goods

In these days, when we walk into a supermarket or a shopping mall, we can find different kinds of commodities with beautiful packages. These goods, with splendid appearance, attract a lot of interest and sell well.

This phenomenon leads into a general discussion. It's unnecessary to have the goods excessively packed. In order to hold a bigger market share, some companies come up with lots of strategies, packaging is among them. Goods become more attractive with beautiful packages, but their cost increased as well. It is the consumers who pay for the extra cost. In other word, the consumers have to buy a useless box when they actually want something else. At a higher level, the useless packaging leads to a waste of resources and results in the inefficiency of the society.

I think the most important character of a commodity is its quality. The beautiful package would be soon thrown into the dustbin—What a big waste! So next time, when you want to buy something, choose the one with higher quality instead of one with better package.

2、送礼

Is it Wise to Give Presents?

Nowadays, the behavior of giving and receiving presents has become worldwide popular. Classmates exchange small gifts to show close relationship. Friends exchange presents to strengthen their friendship. Lovers exchanged carefully selected gifts to express the deepest love between them.

However, is it always wise to give and receive presents? From my prospective, it depends. Above all, it depends on the purpose of present giver. If he or she simply wants to make the

receiver happy and improve their relationship, it's just OK. On the contrary, if he or she owns a secret object in the bottom of his or her heart, his or her behavior is wrong and must be forbidden.

Yet, many students set too much emphasis on the price of gifts. Maybe they fear that others may laugh at them if their present is too cheap. But who cares? If someone judges you simply by the price, you can just break up with him or her. This kind of people are not worth your friendship.
