Doctor Achebe
Let’s continue talking about consumer behavior.We have been discussing different ways people go about choosing what products to buy,and there are many potential sources of information and advice for consumers.In your opinion,which is the better strategy for making purchasing decisions,relying on advice from friends and family,or depending on information from online sources?Why?
Claire
Asking friends and family members for product recommendations might seem like an easier option,but it might take too much time to get all the information you need.An internet search would be much more efficient.There are many consumer magazines available online that compile lots of data to compare the advantages and disadvantages of one product versus another.
Paul
The last time I bought a computer,I just watched a few videos online to make a decision,and now I regret that.My friends could have advised me better because they know my preferences and the kind of features that I am interested in.Consumers should get advice from the people around them to find the most suitable products.
范文正文
When it comes to making a sensible purchase,【时间状语从句】I believe Claire proposed a more practical solution.Searching on the internet can indeed be much more time-saving.Not only can online magazines provide abundant data to assist consumers,but those online shopping platforms may also serve as good guides.【倒装句】For instance,in China,most young people avail themselves of shopping platforms such as Taobao and Pinduoduo to search for the products they intend to buy.With a few ready clicks,these applications provide users with a wide array of product options at various prices,catering to almost all their potential needs.After the quick search,they will make their decision on whether to purchase the product online or in a physical store.Although Paul’s idea holds true to some extent,【让步状语从句】he failed to mention that nowadays due to geographical barriers【宾语从句】,chances are that sometimes even our close friends may not know our purchasing demands,【表语从句】let alone offer any valuable suggestions.
写作思路和特色
题目中，教授问两名学生，购物时如何做决定，是依赖亲友的建议还是看网上的信息。Claire认为应该看网上的信息，比如一些网上杂志；而Paul赞同依赖亲友的建议。本文同意Claire的看法，但作者从另一个角度论述自己的观点，即购物网站和app也能帮助消费者做决定。接下来举了群体性的例子，中国的年轻人一般都会在购物app上搜索自己想买的东西，然后才选择在哪里购买。在网上搜索既快捷，又能得到全面的信息。文章最后也提到了对方Paul的观点的缺陷。现如今，人们可能并没有和自己的亲友住在一起，所以即使是亲朋好友也不一定完全了解他们的购物需求，更不用说提出好建议了。
这道题既是托福写作改革后的第一次考题（2023年7月26日），也在2023年10月29日原题重复出现。反复考察的题目，需要引起考生的重视。题目偏生活化，对词汇量的要求不是很高，但正因如此，想要写出高分作文，就更需要考生能用简洁、地道的语言，表达出精准的含义。
这篇文章的总论点是赞同一名学生的观点，并给出了另一个角度的解读。这样的写法符合托福新版OG的要求。新版OG明确提出了学术讨论作文的写作结构。考生可以提出与两名学生都不同的观点，也可以重复一名学生的观点并写出自己的理解。文中既可以提出一个分论点并加入详细的解释和举例，也可以提出两到三个分论点并加以解释。但不论提出几个分论点，考生都应在论述中提及题目中的学生观点。
用词用语整理
【时间状语从句】
When it comes to making a sensible purchase,I believe Claire proposed a more practical solution.
用When it comes to+名词的形式，引出下一句的内容。这一句型用途比较广泛，能有效提高语法多样性。
【倒装句】
Not only can online magazines provide abundant data to assist consumers,but those online shopping platforms may also serve as good guides.
当not only后面接句子时，需要使用部分倒装，将助动词提前到主语前面。这里使用倒装句强调了网上购物平台的实用性，同时也体现了并列结构，增强语言的逻辑性。
【让步状语从句】+【宾语从句】+【表语从句】
Although Paul’s idea holds true to some extent,he failed to mention that nowadays due to geographical barriers,chances are that sometimes even our close friends may not know our purchasing demands.
Hold true意为“仍是真的”，与连词although一起简洁地表达出让步的含义，便于下一句写出反驳。
Fail to do sth意为“失败，未能做到某事”，用在此处反驳Paul的想法的有效性。
Chances are that后接表语从句，意为“有可能”，表示推测。这个句型比较万能，能有效增加句式多样性。
practical adj.可行的
常用于写措施，可以与feasible,workable,tenable等同义替换，在综合写作措施类题目中也可以尝试使用。
avail oneself of sth利用
例句：They availed themselves of the opportunity to hear a free concert.
他们利用了这次机会，去听了一场免费的音乐会。
a few ready clicks快速点击几下
ready表示“快速的，灵敏的”，用在这里写出在网上搜索信息的方便快捷。同样含义的词汇还有后面的quick search，意为“快速检索”。
a physical store n.实体商店
与online shop相对应的线下商店，有时也可以叫做an actual shop。
