　　范文及解析

　　Introduction

　　Nowadays we are living in a society based on consuming. While some are concerned about how much a product costs, I tend to cite durability as the most essential attribute.

　　解析

　　消费类话题新题，但难度不大。论点可以从几个群体去考虑：消费者、商家、社会面。

　　Ø cite…as… vt. 举出(示例)

　　Ø durability n.[U] 耐久度

　　Ø attribute n.[C] 特征;性质

　　Body 1

　　Lower price does have its benefits. For one thing, this can satisfy the needs of part of consumers. There are either instances where people who live in abject poverty and cannot afford expensive commodities seek for economical alternatives to meet ends meet, or instances where consumers, considering the techniques or design features updating unprecedentedly, desire more to keep track of the latest fashion but cost them less. In this case, purchasing goods with affordable prices is a wise decision. As to producers, lower prices to some extent boost consumption, enabling them to rake in more profits. However, such a trend may incur more potential repercussions on the social level. More accurately, as cheap products allow customers to consume new items frequently, this may create a “throw-away” culture and breed conspicuous consumption, which ultimately causes waste of natural resources.

　　解析

　　让步(便宜-好处)：1. 消费者：满足部分消费者的需求，比如：买不起贵重物品，或想要频繁更换商品;2. 商家：薄利多销，更多收入// 反驳(便宜-坏处)：社会层面：浪费资源，滋生“废品”文化。

　　Body 2

　　As a matter of fact, long-lasting products give both buyers and suppliers much greater benefits. To illustrate, these products, though requiring more money, usually boast higher quality and performance considering more durable materials and better refined processing techniques have been employed. In the long term, consumers can save the budgets which should have been allocated to repairing malfunctioning items or even buying new ones, especially those costing much such as electrical appliances. By stark contrast, cheaper alternatives are thus less preferable, as they are more prone to breakage. Additionally, developing and manufacturing cost-effective products also enables manufacturers to establish a sound brand image, promising them to hold a greater share in the market.

　　解析

　　立论(耐用度-好处)：1. 消费者：尽管价格高，但质量好，不用频繁更换，长远来讲，省钱，尤其是家电这种大器件的消费;2. 商家：树立良好的品牌形象，有利于长远发展
