Some people take it for granted that some lucky numbers can bring them good luck. For instance, the so-called lucky number \is widely used now because it is sounded like \rich\in Chinese and is believed to bring good fortune. On the contrary, there are many people who won't agree, and they claim that numbers have nothing to do with luck. They regard numbers simply as mathematic symbols for counting. They are anything but a mystery. They laugh at those who think numbers can bring good luck.
I'm in favor of the latter opinion. I think our society is very modern now. We mustn't count on the so-called lucky numbers to fulfill our wishes. Whether we can have good luck depends on ourselves. If we work hard, good luck will come to us. (186 words)

On Fake Commodities
Today, there are many fake commodities sold in the market. Some can do great harm to us. Why there are so many fake commodities?
There are always two reasons, I think. First, the factories spend less time and less money in producing the fake commodities than the good ones. In this way, they can make a greater profit. Second, the fake commodities are always cheaper and many people like to buy them. As a result, the fake commodities became more and more widely spread. It's very obvious that fake commodities are harmful. For example, there is a man just catching a cold. If the man takes some fake medicine, perhaps he will get worse, or even die. He is so poor just because he has bought some fake commodities. The fake commodities do harm to the people, at the same time, they do harm to society.
Many factories selling good commodities will go bankrupt in a short time, which will cause many workers out of work.
There are many ways to eliminate fake commodities but the following ones may be effective. First, the laws of the protection of consumers should be enforced to severely punish those who produce or sell fake commodities. Second, consumers should be taught how to tell good commodities from fake ones. Third, they should be advised to protect their own interests and not to be led astray by false advertisements. In a word, the whole society should pay close attention to the problem of fake commodities and launch a campaign against them. Only in this way will fake commodities be possibly eliminated from the market in the future. (272 words) (四)评论型作文

The Way to Success
Abraham Lincoln once observed, \will spend the first four sharpening the axe.\As far as I'm concerned, this remark can be interpreted as follows: If you want to successfully achieve a certain goal, you must be well prepared for it at first. A good preparation involves sufficient learning, good strategies and a healthy mentality.
To be well prepared, you must first equip yourself with the required knowledge and skills. Only in this way can you move smoothly in all kinds of tough and complex situations. In the process of preparation, you will formulate good strategies which can contribute to reducing the potential mistakes, thus leading to higher efficiency. Finally, you must learn to cultivate a healthy mentality. You must be fully prepared for the possible setbacks you may encounter and devote yourself wholeheartedly to whatever goal you pursue.
