YES
With the fast economic development 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 and perfumes which cost a few hundred yuan, and some expensive watches can be afforded by many middle-income people in China today.
Luxury goods, despite their high price, 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 fever of luxury goods 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 price can add to their social status, and they can draw satisfaction from the show-off of luxury goods. If this tendency is not curbed, it will exert an adverse influence on the whole society’s values.

答案 Stop Pursuing Luxury Goods The current craze of buying 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 of pursuing luxury goods. The blind pursuit of luxuries can easily lead buyers to be sucked into commercial traps and 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 life. 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 is worse, if their salary cannot maintain their consumption level, they may be stuck in financial problems. In conclusion, I believe that luxury goods should not be seen as the Bible of life, and we should carefully measure whether we can afford them or not. As the future of our nation, we should set up lofty ideals and aims instead of indulging ourselves in the craze of pursuing vanity.
