[2]列舉實(shí)例，說明食品安全問題的嚴(yán)重程度。

[3]段落的主題句。

[4][5][6]用:Foronething…Foranother…Furthermore列舉需要重視食品安全問題的原因。

[7]總結(jié)全文。itishightimethat…句型用于呼吁有關(guān)單位采取行動。takemeasures，imposepun-ishmenton等都是亮點(diǎn)短語。

根據(jù)寫作提綱，本文的寫作思路如下:

第一段介紹食品安全問題的現(xiàn)狀，說明目前社會上存在嚴(yán)重的食品安全問題，指出該問題已經(jīng)到了不容忽視的地步。

第二段主體部分從三個角度分析食品安全問題的重要意義:食品安全事關(guān)人民的身體健康；食品安全事關(guān)政府、國家的國際形象；食品安全事關(guān)國家產(chǎn)業(yè)競爭力。因此，我們必須要重視食品安全問題。

第三段呼吁有關(guān)部門采取措施加強(qiáng)食品安全管理，如嚴(yán)格執(zhí)行食品安全標(biāo)準(zhǔn)，加強(qiáng)市場監(jiān)管力度，對出現(xiàn)問題的企業(yè)從重處罰以起到震懾效果等。
