二段：原因分析(这个的写作思路，专门强调过，见考前最后作文第二篇)

It is evident that the causes of this phenomenon are diverse. In the first place, some customers' psychological need is the root cause. These packages bring the sense of beauty, arouse people's enthusiasm to buy, and help manufacturers to promote sale. In the second place, it is these packages that enable shops to build up a foundation for advertising. As a matter of fact, industries in mounting numbers have come to realize the necessity of packaging for sale.

显然，该现象原因是多方面的。首先，顾客的心理需求是本质原因。这些包装给顾客带来美感，激发他们购买的热情，帮助了商家提升销量。此外，也正是这些包装使商店能给商品的宣传广告。

尾段：观点+建议

然而，作为顾客，我坚信商品质量是重要的。因此，我们应该教育，倡导和鼓励我们的同学，朋友和熟人们去购买不过度包装的商品。
