答案 Be a Truly Smart Consumer Social and economic development today has not only brought us new kinds of goods and services, but also greatly changed the way we buy goods and services. As students mostly rely on their families, along with the increasing pressure of daily life, they are more careful with their money: They collect all kinds of coupons, look for group-buy deals for eating and travelling, and buy clothes only on sale. For most people, this seems to be a smart way of enjoying better life at less expense. For me, however, this may not make us become smart buyers. First of all, such habits as buying with coupons or in the form of group-buy deals will easily result in overbuying and blind consumption. Buyers tend to think that coupons and group-buy deals give them a great advantage of saving money. It is praiseworthy that students choose to buy something they’re really in need of in such a way. But most of time, it is hard for them to refrain from being tempted to buy things offered at a tempting discount. The ultimate result is that they spend more money than they have planned before and harvest a heap of what they don’t really need. Over a long period of time, they must have stocked up piles of useless stuff, which lead to a large waste of resources. In addition, coupons or group-buy deals in the long run would make young people form a bad habit of irrational spending. Actually, coupons, group-buy deals and promotional plans are cleverly designed by marketers to sell more goods and make more profits. They are more shrewd in money matters than consumers, so it’s naive of students to gain extra advantage by such economic means. Being a rational consumer, we should be cautious and avoid falling into the trap of overspending. All in all, we should buy things out of necessity and ration instead of impulse. Don’t be confounded with lust and greed when seeing much cheaper things. Look before you leap. Only in this way can we be a truly smart consumer.
