Fake and shoddy goods are harmful on two levels. Some people think that the quickest way to make profits is by selling poor-quality commodities, and this undermines the nation's economy; at the same time, some fake and shoddy goods are bad for people's health. This makes consumers distrust the sellers, and the free market in general.
　　In view of the seriousness of this problem, it is essential that laws and regulations be worked out to ban the manufacture and circulation of fake and shoddy goods. At the same time, consumers should be educated to identify sub-standard commodities. With proper laws and an alert public, it will only be a matter of time before fake and shoddy goods become things of the past.

Haste Makes Waste
　　By "Haste makes waste" is meant that one should do everything step by step. Even simple operations can easily be spoiled if we rush to complete them, neglecting important stages in the process. One should make full preparations before beginning any task.
　　Take English study for example. Without a good command of pronunciation, we can never hope to speak in an understandable way. Similarly, if we do not learn to spell properly and to acquire a basic grasp of grammar, we will never succeed in writing good compositions.
　　In short, laying a solid foundation is essential if we want to make achievements in our studies or work, or indeed in any other aspect of our lives. At every step, review what has been achieved and assess the problems ahead before moving to the next step. And remember, Rome was not built in a day.

How I Finance My College Education
　　In recent years tuition and fees for high education keep increasing rapidly. How to finance your college education has become a matter of concern for many. There are many ways to support your college education financially. First, your parents may be able to provide all the money you need. Second, you can do a part-time job to get enough money. Third, bank loans especially set up for college students are also available.
　　As far as I'm concerned, bank loan is my favorite choice. For one thing, my parents do not have enough money to afford me. For another, you will find yourself too tired to study after doing a part-time job. In addition, I'm sure that I will have a good chance of getting a nice job after graduation, when I'll be able to repay the loan. Therefore, I prefer the bank loan.
