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)

假冒伪劣商品的危害
　　中国经济迅速发展产生的一个消极方面就是假冒伪劣商品的出现。据报道，从食品、服装业到收音机和电视机甚至药品都充斥着假冒伪劣商品。
　　假冒伪劣商品存在很多弊害。他们对消费者和社会都造成巨大的损失和伤害。例如，如果有人买了一些假药，可能不但无法治愈他反而使他的病情恶化，甚至使他的生命走向终结。此外，假冒商品还可能使得消费者对这些产品产生怀疑，从而导致人们对生产真正产品的生产商失去信任，继而引发社会问题。
　　现在是时候采取行动来消除假冒伪劣商品了。第一，政府应完善与商品的生产和销售有关的法律。第二，应该告知人们如何分辨假冒伪劣商品，并鼓励人们在购买到假冒伪劣商品时上报到相关部门。
