英語四級命題作文：假冒偽劣商品的危害

Harm of Fake Commodities
　　One negative aspect of China's rapid economic development is the phenomenon of fake commodities. It is reported that these commodities range from foodstuff, clothes to radios, and TV sets and even medicines.
　　Fake commodities are harmful in many ways. They have caused great loss and damage to consumers as well as to the society. For example, if someone buys some fake medicines, they may not cure him but may probably make his illness worse or even put an end to his life. Besides, fake commodities may cause people to lose trust in manufacturers who produce the real products by making the consumers suspicious of these products, thus leading to social problems.
　　It is high time to take actions to get rid of fake commodities. First, the government should perfect relevant laws concerning the manufacture and sale of commodities. Second, people should be advised how to tell the genuine commodities from the fake ones, and be encouraged to report to the relevant authorities in case they have bought fake commodities.        (169 words)
