假冒伪劣商品的大学英语作文

in recent years, a lot of fake commodities have appeared in the market. they range from small, cheap commodities such as a pair of shoes, a tube of toothpaste to large epensive ones such as a video cd player and a refrigerator. we can almost say that where there are people, there are fake commodities.

many reasons account for the fact that there are so many fake commodities in the market. first, although some factories are not so famous, they want their products to sell well so that they can gain more profit. so they will put the brand name of a prestigious company on their products. second, although some consumers are not so well off, yet, they can＇t resist the temptation of having something produced by a famous company, therefore, they buy the fake commodities to show off to the others. finally, some fake commodities serve almost as well as the genuine ones, but they are much cheaper. so many people still buy them.
