say unusual — point. While fighting world hunger continues to be the matter of vital importance according to a recent report from the World Health Organization (WHO), more people now die from being overweight than from being underweight. It's the good life that's more likely to kill us these days.‎ Worse, nearly 18 million children under the age of five around the world are estimated to be overweight. What's going on?‎ We really don't have many excuses for our weight problems. The dangers of the problem have been drilled into us by publichealth campaigns since 2001 and the message is getting through — up to a point.‎ In the 1970s, Finland, for example, had the highest rate of heart disease in the world and being overweight was its main cause. Not any more. A publichealth campaign has greatly reduced the number of heart disease deaths by 80 percent over the past three decades.‎ Maybe that explains why the percentage of people in Finland taking diet pills doubled between 2001 and 2005, and doctors even offer surgery of removing fat inside and change the shape of the body. No wonder it ranks as the world's most bodyconscious country.‎ We know what we should be doing to lose weight — but actually doing it is another matter. By far the most popular excuse is not taking enough exercise. More than half of us admit we lack willpower.‎ Others blame good food. They say: it's just too inviting and it makes them overeat. Some also blame their parents — their genes. But unfortunately, the parents are wronged because they're normal in shape, or rather slim.‎ It's a similar story around the world, although people are relatively unlikely to have ‎ tried to lose weight. Parents are eager to see their kids shape up. Do as I say — not as I do.‎ ‎[写作步骤]‎ 第一步：归纳主旨大意 主旨大意：本文是一篇议论文。文章以论证的方式说明了优质生活导致的肥胖问题给人们的健康带来的危害，呼吁人们积极行动远离肥胖，不要再找借口。‎ 短文结构分析：全文分为四个部分。‎ 第一部分(第一、二段)：优质生活成了人们健康的杀手；‎ 第二部分(第三、四段)：始于2001年的公众健康运动让人们意识到肥胖的危害以及在减少肥胖方面所起的作用；‎ 第三部分(第五、六段)：人们采取消极行动去减肥；‎ 第四部分(第七、八段)：人们不要再找借口，应该积极采取行动远离肥胖。‎ 第二步：提炼关键词 Part 1：‎ ‎1.More people now die_from_being_overweight than from being

have gradually become_aware_of the dangers of being overweight through publichealth campaigns.‎ ‎3．要点5和6‎ 合并：Many people took diet pills to lose weight though they knew what they should be doing to

action to lose weight.‎ 改写：Although there are some excuses like lack of exercise, people should act_positively to lose weight.‎ 第四步：核查成文 核查连贯性，优先考虑使用最短连接词；核查标点和语法；核查词数。最终成文如下：‎
