"Organic"doesnotmean"natural".Thereisnolegaldefinitionastowhatconstitutesa"natural"food.However,thefoodindustryusestheterm"natural"toindicatethatafoodhasbeenminimallyprocessedandispreservative-free.Naturalfoodscanincludeorganicfoods,butnotallnaturalfoodsareorganic.Onlyfoodslabeled"organic"havebeencertifiedasmeetingUSDAorganicstandards.

1.OnFoodSafetyIssuesWhileitistruethatthereisadeclineinthenumberofcasesrelatedtofakefoodsandfoodsofpoorqualitythesafetyoffoodremainsaseriousprobleminthisindustry.Food-bornOnFoodSafetyIssuesWhileitistruethatthereisadeclineinthenumberofcasesrelatedtofakefoodsandfoodsofpoorquality,thesafetyoffoodremainsaseriousprobleminthisindustry.Food-born解析：本文要求就食品安全問題展開討論。根據(jù)提綱，第一段陳述目前食品安全的現(xiàn)狀，及其對人民身體健康的危害；第二段分析造成食品安全問題的原因；第三段針對食品安全問題提出應(yīng)對的措施。

2.SayNotoDrunkDriving[1]Asisknowntoalldrunkdrivingisverydangerous.[2]Itputstorisksnotonlythedriver'slifebutalsothoseofotherinnocentpeople.[3]DangerousasitistherehavebeeSayNotoDrunkDriving[1]Asisknowntoall,drunkdrivingisverydangerous.[2]Itputstorisksnotonlythedriver'slifebutalsothoseofotherinnocentpeople.[3]Dangerousasitis,therehavebee解析：本文要求對酒醉駕駛的原因進(jìn)行分析，并提出門己的看法。如果要求分析酒醉駕駛的不良后果，那就容易點，可outline要求分析酒醉駕駛的原因，許多考生可能絞盡腦汁也不知道該說什么好了。

范文從兩個角度分析原因：首先，經(jīng)濟(jì)上富裕了，開車的人更多了；其次，司機(jī)主觀上對自己的駕駛技術(shù)太過門信。這兩條都很好，與醉駕密切相關(guān)，很有說服力。

是否還有別的原因呢?——無酒不成宴的傳統(tǒng)習(xí)慣勺現(xiàn)代生活不合拍；法律上對醉駕處罰力度不夠；酒席上人們的自控能力太差；等等。讀者可以自己盡情展開自己的思路，寫出好文章來。

最后還要說明“我認(rèn)為”，當(dāng)然要與標(biāo)題SayNo的看法—致了。但要注意如何表達(dá)。

Analysis

[1]由outline改寫而來，得來毫不費功夫。

[2]是[1]的支持句，putsthtodanger/risks是較好的搭配。

[3]還是描寫現(xiàn)象。其中暗含這種現(xiàn)象的存在原因，于是下文就可以就這些原因進(jìn)行分析。注意這句話與前一段話之間有轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系，用了讓步結(jié)構(gòu)。

[4][5]onereasonisthat；anotherreasonisthat…，銜接自然。

[6]注意tallvictimto的用法

[7]是作文標(biāo)題的再現(xiàn)!主題句。

[8]怎樣sayno呢?再提—下具體措施，文章就更加有力度了。也是[7]的支持/擴(kuò)展句。
