The luxury fever has now spread all over China. Buying international brands such as Louis Vuitton, Chanel and Gucci has become a fashion for many Chinese people, including those who are not quite affluent. Should people frantically pursue luxury goods? Read carefully the opinions from both sides and write your response in about 200 words, in which you should first summarize briefly the opinions from both sides and then give your view on the issue.
Marks will be awarded for content relevance, content sufficiency, organization and language quality. Failure to follow the above instructions may result in a loss of marks.
Yes:
With the fast development of economy over the past three decades, the consumption habits of Chinese people have changed greatly. For some consumers, many luxury goods are simply high-priced commodities. Cosmetics, perfumes and some expensive watches can be afforded by many middle-income people in China today.
Luxury goods, despite their high prices, usually possess high quality and therefore can be used for a long time. Today as the average income increases, people have extra money to pursue high-quality life and to purchase luxury goods. For them, buying luxury goods is not to show off, but simply to enjoy the finest products.
No:
The luxury fever reflects the blind worship of material wealth existing in our current society. By "luxury", we mean "a pleasant but often expensive thing that is not necessary". Most luxury goods are not necessities, but since they are labeled as "luxury", owning a luxury product is equal to living a first-class life. So many ordinary people whose salary can barely afford them still follow the trend, which is a total waste of money.
Many consumers buy luxury goods simply to flatter their vanity, because they believe the high-priced goods can add to their social status, and they can draw satisfaction from showing off luxury goods. If this tendency is not curbed, it will exert an adverse influence on the values of the whole society.

答案
Stop Pursuing Luxury Goods The current craze for luxury goods is an inevitable result of China’s economic and social development. For many Chinese people, especially the middle class, luxury goods are affordable items. The high quality of the goods makes them the primary choice for these people. In contrast, some hold that this craze should be discouraged for it may breed people’s money worship and vanity. As far as I am concerned, we should damp the craze for luxury goods. The blind pursuit of luxuries can easily lead buyers into commercial traps and make them deviate from their personal objectives and social values. It will be destructive to our nation and society if young people consider buying luxury goods as the sole meaningful thing in their lives. Moreover, the high price of luxury goods will lead to over-consumption. Many young people may become the so-called "Moonlites" who spend all their earnings buying bags or clothes of famous brands before the end of a month. What’s worse, if their salaries cannot maintain their consumption level, they may be stuck in financial problems. In conclusion, I believe that we should carefully weigh whether we can afford luxury goods or not. As the future of our nation, we should set up lofty ideals and aims instead of indulging ourselves in the pursuit of vanity.
解析
本题讨论的是当下追捧奢侈品的热潮。在具体行文方面,考生应该首先概述材料中正反方的观点。然后给出自己的观点,并阐述理由。最后总结全文。
开头部分首先介绍背景并引出话题。然后从正反两方面总结材料中的观点。正方观点:购买奢侈品是人们的正当购买行为。理由是越来越多富起来的中国人可以买得起奢侈品。而奢侈品的高品质值得人们去购买。随后用“In contrast,some hold that…”引出反方观点:不应该鼓励追捧奢侈品这一热潮,因为这种热潮会滋生拜金主义和虚荣心理。
中间部分通过“As far as I am concerned…”引出自己的观点:我们应该遏制购买奢侈品的热潮。接着阐述自己的理由:首先,盲目追求奢侈品会使购买者陷入商业陷阱。使他们偏离人生目标,并影响他们的价值观;其次,奢侈品高昂的价格会导致过度消费,很多人会因此变成“月光族”;更糟糕的是,它会导致一些人陷入财务困境。
结尾部分通过“In conclusion,I believe…”总结全文,重申自己的观点,并提出建议。
