Part V Writing （15分）

76. Products are produced in a large variety nowadays as our national economy continues to develop. But it is a pity that the quality of some of the products is ignored. As a result, many poor-quality products can be seen everywhere.

The consequence of poor-quality products would be disastrous. These products would be harmful not only to the consumers, but to the producers and shops as well. Moreover, they will have bad effect on the society. If the products are delivered to foreign countries, the result will be even worse. How can we guarantee the quality of the products? First of all, there should be some quality control in the factory. Secondly, people should learn to protect themselves. If they bought unqualified products, they should go to some department for help.
