参考范文
With the improvement of our living standards, people are increasingly concerned about their diets. 1 However, there is now a growing unrest over food safety after a series of food safety accidents have occurred across the country in recent years. 2 I believe at least three factors account for this issue. 3
First and foremost 4 , manufacturers should be blamed most. Since they aim to make more profits, they may take the risk of breaking laws and sacrificing consumers’ health, producing unhealthy food. For instance, some food producers tend to use overdosed additives in order to make the food look or taste better. In addition 4 , the departments that oversee food safety and enforce policies should also be responsible because the laws and regulations have not been implemented in a strict way in many cases. And sometimes the manufacturers who violated the law haven’t been severely punished. Last but not least 4 , consumers tend to buy or eat the food that tastes better. They may not know that the better the food tastes, the more ingredients it may have, which may pose a greater threat to people’s health.
In view of the seriousness of the problem, effective measures must be taken before things get worse. Firstly, it is imperative that relevant laws and regulations should be enforced in a stricter way. Secondly, the public’s awareness of the importance of food quality should be raised. Only by taking these actions can the problem be tackled successfully in the nearest future. 5
随着生活水平的提高，人们越来越关注饮食。然而，在近些年我国连续发生了多起食品安全事故后，人们对食品安全现状日益担忧。我认为导致该现象的原因至少有三个。
首先，最应该遭受谴责的是生产商。因为他们的目标就是创造更多利润，所以他们往往冒着触犯法律和牺牲消费者健康的风险生产不健康的食品。比如，一些食品生产商为了使食品更好看、更好吃，通常会过量使用添加剂。另外，食品监管部门以及政策实施部门也应承担责任，原因是很多时候他们并没有严格实施相关法律和规定。有时候，破坏法律的生产商没有受到严厉惩罚。再次，消费者往往购买和食用口味更好的食物。殊不知口味越好的食物添加的配料可能越多，而这可能对人们的健康危害更大。
考虑到问题的严重性，在情况变得更糟糕之前，我们必须采取有效的解决措施。首先，相关部门一定要更加严格地执行相关法律和规定。其次，还应提高公众对食品质量的重要性的意识。只有采取这些举措，我们才能够尽快成功地解决这一问题。

句法点评
1. Since they aim to make more profits, they may take the risk of breaking laws and sacrificing consumers’ health, producing unhealthy food.
这句话中包含了一个since引导的原因状语从句，此外还包含现在分词producing引导的成分作伴随状语。
2. Firstly, it is imperative that relevant laws and regulations should be enforced in a stricter way.
在这句话中，使用了“It is imperative that...”的句式，相当于“It is necessary that...”，其中，that引导的主语从句的谓语动词要用虚拟语气，即“should+动词原形（should可以省略）”的形式。
