雅思大作文题目

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?

高分范文及解析

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年老题，略难。社会类大话题下的消费相关话题，但考的不是消费主义，而是消费习惯，类似于曾经的口语street market 相关的part 3: 是否老年人比年轻人更喜欢street market?

dictate vt. 支配

entertain vt. 持有，怀有（想法）

feature vt. 以…为特色

purchasing power n. 购买力

decisive adj. 决定性的

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. 性别：大多数男性更偏爱于购买电子产品及运动相关产品，且主要注重性能与质量；女性偏爱时尚及护肤化妆产品，且由于女性相对感性，影响女性购物的因素比较繁杂：外观、品牌、折扣、广告。2. 购买力：富人偏重能代表其地位的品牌，注重满足自身精神需求；穷人以满足基本需求的便宜货为主。

motivator n.[C] 促动因素

sundry adj. 各种各样的

performance n.[U] 性能

novel adj. 新颖的；新的

frugal adj. 节俭的

lavish sth. on sb./sth. vt. 慷慨地将…给予某人/某物

cosmetic n.[C] 化妆品

ornament n.[C] 饰品

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

年龄：年轻人，包括青少年，没有太多生活压力，因此花钱注重享受，大多花在衣服、电子产品、娱乐等；中年人，生活压力较大，多数花在生活开支及子女教育。无论年轻人还是中年人，购买方式大多是通过网购或商场。老年人，尤其退休老人，更关注健康，购买保健品居多，且偏爱传统购买方式——去市场货比三家。

gadget n. [精巧的]小玩意儿

live on a tight budget 生活拮据

live commerce n. 直播带货

be accustomed to sth./doing sth. 习惯于某事

complimentary gift n.[C] 赠品

Conclusion

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