2022年9月10日雅思大作文題目

People’s shopping habits depend more on the age group they belong to than any other factors. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

范文及解析

Introduction

While one’s consumption pattern, including shopping frequency, consumer goods, purchasing methods, etc., can mainly be dictated by the age group they belong to, I entertain the view that one’s shopping habit features diverse factors, including one’s gender and purchasing power, and it is hard to decide which is more decisive.

解析

2016年老題，略難。社會類大話題下的消費相關話題，但考的不是消費主義，而是消費習慣，類似于曾經的口語street market 相關的part 3: 是否老年人比年輕人更喜歡street market?

dictate vt. 支配

entertain vt. 持有，懷有(想法)

feature vt. 以…為特色

purchasing power n. 購買力

decisive adj. 決定性的

Body 1

Indeed, never is age the only motivator that influences consumers’ shopping habits; people with different genders and financial backgrounds may buy different products, as they feature diverse consumption needs, thus taking sundry factors into consideration when shopping. To commence, one factor that is used to classify consumer groups is gender. The majority males show more preference for digital devices or items related to sports, and they focus more on the quality, performance, and novel functions or technology that those products carry. By stark contrast, most women are believed to be frugal than men in daily consumption, but they usually lavish more money on cosmetics and ladies’ fashion, including ornaments and purses. Besides, as most women are relatively less rational, they are more likely to be impacted by several external factors ranging from appearance and brands of products to the lure of discounts and advertising. Purchasing power also plays a vital role in shopping habits. Unlike the affluent, who tend to choose luxury goods that can show off their financial status, the poor will buy cheap daily necessities to satisfy their basic demands.

解析

1. 性別：大多數男性更偏愛于購買電子產品及運動相關產品，且主要注重性能與質量;女性偏愛時尚及護膚化妝產品，且由于女性相對感性，影響女性購物的因素比較繁雜：外觀、品牌、折扣、廣告。2. 購買力：富人偏重能代表其地位的品牌，注重滿足自身精神需求;窮人以滿足基本需求的便宜貨為主。

motivator n.[C] 促動因素

sundry adj. 各種各樣的

performance n.[U] 性能

novel adj. 新穎的;新的

frugal adj. 節儉的

lavish sth. on sb./sth. vt. 慷慨地將…給予某人/某物

cosmetic n.[C] 化妝品

ornament n.[C] 飾品

affluent adj. 富有的

Body 2

However, people’s consumption pattern does depend much on the age group they belong to, as people in different stages feature diverse needs and concern. Youngsters, especially teenagers, have less living pressure, thus allocating more budgets to stylish clothes, make-up, electronic gadgets, and recreational activities to pursue fashion and enjoyment in life. In contrast, middle-aged consumers, especially those who live on a tight budget, struggle against the surging living pressure so that they tend to spend more on daily expenditure and children’s education. However, it is noteworthy that both the young and the middle-aged, with live commerce getting more prevalent, are accustomed to shopping online for complimentary gifts and extra discounts. Retirees, however, are more concerned about their health condition, thus allotting more money to healthcare products. As they are more conservative in consumption, most of them prefer the traditional shopping way – going to markets to compare price.

解析

年齡：年輕人，包括青少年，沒有太多生活壓力，因此花錢注重享受，大多花在衣服、電子產品、娛樂等;中年人，生活壓力較大，多數花在生活開支及子女教育。無論年輕人還是中年人，購買方式大多是通過網購或商場。老年人，尤其退休老人，更關注健康，購買保健品居多，且偏愛傳統購買方式——去市場貨比三家。

gadget n. [精巧的]小玩意兒

live on a tight budget 生活拮據

live commerce n. 直播帶貨

be accustomed to sth./doing sth. 習慣于某事

complimentary gift n.[C] 贈品

Conclusion

In a nutshell, one’s shopping habit is formed of mixed factors, with none of them dominating the others.
