范文：

Recently, there have been many singers, stars, models, and other celebrities sharing their ideas on how to be skinny in the media. Some publish books, others offer their secret tips, and still others recommend treatments on shopping channels. Their remarks convince their fans, especially young girls, that being slim is extremely important. As a result, some girls take radical measures to lose weight, which results in poor health, anorexia, or even death.

In my opinion, promoting thinness is as awful as promoting smoking or drinking. Size zero models have been on the rise in the past few years, and lots of girls are following in their footsteps. The media should be more responsible and educate their audiences properly. First, they should stop promoting the notion that being skinny equals beauty. Additionally, the media should teach people the correct ways to lose weight by providing information from doctors. Being too skinny is no good for anyone.

　　最近，有许多歌星、影星、模特儿和其他名人在媒体上分享如何保持纤细的身材。有些人出书，有些人提供小秘诀，还有一些人则在购物频道推荐疗法。他们的言论让他们的粉丝，尤其是年轻女生，相信纤瘦极其重要。因此，有些女生采取激烈的方式来减重，造成健康出问题、厌食症，甚至死亡。

　　就我而言，倡导纤瘦就跟倡导抽烟和饮酒一样糟糕。纸片人身材的模特儿在过去几年来一直在增加中，许多女生也跟随她们的脚步。媒体应该负起责任，正确的教育观众。首先，他们应该停止倡导瘦即是美的观念。再来，媒体应该藉由提供来自医生的信息来教导大众正确的减重方式。瘦骨如柴对谁都是没有好处的。
