Dr. 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?
审题注意点:(1). 这道题应该重复了今年3.29日的考试原题。购物话题是改革后常考的题目，也是团里重点讲解过的题目。道题曾经是第149期前写作团的练习题目。之后虽然被替换掉了，但是这类话题的展开，举例方法，老师在团里详细视频讲过。 也在day9保留了一道相似的题目和范文：在线评论是否对购物有帮助。
所以团里的同学写起来，也是“稳稳地幸福”！
(2)可行的角度：这题很生活化，大家应该都可以根据自己的生活经验，或者结合其他2位同学提供的观点，想到内容。
1. “recommendations from friends or colleagues”
好处：他们更了解我的生活、学习... 能够给出更符合我需要的建议。
问题：他们对产品不是很了解，无法给出全面，专业的信息。比如Youtube上有很多专业的产品分析视频, Tiktok上的直播会有人试穿/试用,效果展示，帮我了解产品选择适合自己的产品。
2.online search(for example, TV, magazines, newspapers)：
好处：
① 对产品很了解. 给出专业建议.
② 他们还会提供一些优惠券/码，购买更优惠方便。
坏处：这些媒体上的信息，无论是专家分析还是网红influnencer 带货，都很有可能是被商家投资/赞助，是在悄悄打广告。而人们看到衣服，化妆品，汽车被自己信任的推荐的话，就会被影响去购买(when people see clothes, cosmetics, a car, or a holiday being plugged by someone they admire and respect, they might be swayed into buying it. 写作团语料)。 然而购买之后会发现可能达不到所说的效果，或者不能满足自己的需求。很浪费。
(3). 文章总观点：如果选择的是”recomendation from friends or colleagues“ 就应该同意的是第2位同学观点。在写作的时候，推荐大家回应：I align myself with Paul’s argument.
参考范文：
I find myself in agreement with Paul's assertion that seeking and considering recommendations from friends and colleagues is an effective strategy.This is because these are individuals who are familiar with my specific needs.Take, for instance, a time when I needed a new computer for work purposes.Initially, I delved into an online search, sifting through advice from professional experts and popular influencers. These sources offered comprehensive analysis of the popular computers in the market, rating them based on a variety of aspects like functionality and performance. Despite dedicating hours to perusing their reviews, I still could not decide which one was suitable for me. However, the situation turned around when I consulted my colleagues, who, like me, travel a lot. They all instantly suggested the MacBook, because it is light enough to carry around and user-friendly enough to use. I then made the purchase in a minute.In conclusion, while media sources, be it professional experts or influencers, may possess an in-depth understanding of products, the advice of friends and colleagues, who know me personally, tends to be more beneficial. Thus we should prioritize their recommendations.（188字）

Dr. Achebe:
Today, I'd like to discuss choices people make interms of where they decide to live. Some people choose to spend their entire lives in one town or city. Others leave their hometowns and might even move several times from one town or city to another. i'd like to get your thoughts on this subject.Do you think it is better to live in one town or city all your life? Why or why not?
审题注意点:
1. 这道题重复了24.2.16日澳门场考题。 我也在公众号里第一时间分享过这道题。
关注老师公众号的同学很幸运了。
这道题看起来很新颖，但还是围绕着城市和农村这个老话题进行延伸。我们写作团在day1就练习过相关的题目，团里的同学应该有语料准备。
2. 这个题目的核心论证点在是，all your life 生活一辈子。如果同意，就分析在一个地方生活的好处。如果不同意，就分析一直在一个地方生活的坏处。或者，换地方生活的好处。
3. 同学们在考大学的时候可能都遇到过这种选择，是读本省的大学，还是去外省读书呢？
--就在本地的话，生活熟悉，还有父母家里的照顾。以后工作就业也方便。这就是很多地区，比如广州，北京当地人的普遍想法。
--如果出去/换个地方的话，就可以看看外面的世界，不受家里人的约束，还可能有更好地学习，职业发展机会。
以上都是可行的思路。重新整理一下，就可以发现有很多可行的论点。但注意，写的时候切勿堆砌观点，着重是对观点的展开。
4. 可行的分论点思路:
一辈子生活在一个地方的好处：
--生活比较安逸。因为对当地的习俗，周围的邻居，朋友等，都比较熟悉。在节日的时候，大家会一起庆祝。需要帮助的时候，可以及时向朋友家人求助。生活就相对很轻松，容易。
一辈子生活在一个地方的坏处/ 搬到不同地方的好处：
--可能会不利于自己的发展/压抑自己的潜能。一个地方所提供的机会和资源还是有限的，一直在一个地方生活，就可能无法发掘自己的潜能。比如一个很有艺术天赋的人可能一辈子都无法发现，如果他一直在小城市生活，没有机会逛过美术馆...
--搬到不同地方居住才有利于培养包容的个性。如果一直都只在一个地方居住，就会理所应当地认为自己的熟悉的习俗，文化等才是正确的。那么遇到不同的情况，就难以接受。比如，一个一直在中国居住只会用筷子吃饭的人可能就难以理解外国人为什么会用刀叉…
参考范文：
I believe settling in one location for life can hinder personal growth.A primary disadvantage is the potential limitation on an individual’s opportunities for development.Each place offers finite chances and resources, which might restrict one’s ability to fully realize their potential.Take Lang Lang, the renowned pianist, as an example.His musical talent might have remained undiscovered, had he not left his small, remote hometown lacking in specialized music education.
Similarly,Elon Musk, now among the wealthiest entrepreneurs, might not have founded transformative companies like Tesla and SpaceX had he stayed in South Africa, a developing country, instead of pursuing education and business opportunities in the United States, a nation with a mature market.These examples illustrate that individuals with ambition should not confine themselves to one place for their entire lives. Instead, they should actively seek environments that can best support their aspirations and satisfy their needs for success. (151字)写到这里，联想到乔布斯在斯坦佛的一次著名演讲中提到的一句话：
keeping looking and don't settle. 当周围环境还不是那么让自己满意的话，不要轻易满足，要努力去寻找。当全心去寻找的时候，答案最终会浮现。

Dr. Gupta
One social phenomenon we discussed recently is this: when a person is in some trouble, some people help that person, while many others do nothing. Some people conclude that inaction-that is, doing nothing-makes the world a worse place.In your post, please discuss the causes or the effects of this social phenomenon; in other words, what are some reasons why people might choose not to help others, or what are some results of this inaction?
审题注意点:
(1). 这应该是一道新题。属于比较难的托福社会-帮助类话题。相似题目以前考到过多次。 改革后，还是第一次出现。难度系数比较高。
(2) inaction-that is, doing nothing：也就是无动于衷。 当有人求助的时候，不作任何事，不帮忙。比如前几天高考，有考生衣服上有金属无法过考场的安检。就有位在场记者立马把自己的衣服换给那位考生，帮助他准时进入考场。 当然也有人没有做任何事。
(3)what are some reasons why people might choose not to help others, or what are some results of this inaction?：这其实是一个开放题型。可以分析这种现象背后的原因，也可以分析这种现象导致的结果。
(4) 原因分析：👩🏻🏫：虽然有些同学可能有些愤世嫉俗，想到原因是因为：人性冷漠,世风日下...但是我都不建议大家写这种比较极端；更重要的是，难以解释展开的抽象观点。
根据主流情况，或者联系亲身经历，原因其实主要是：
1. 怕麻烦，没有时间精力.很多人都忙于自己的上班工作，学业等,也有自己的经济压力(people are overwhelmed by their own responsibilities)... 突然看到有人需要帮忙，比如送去医院(someone need a ride to the hospital)，帮助老人过马路(an elderly person crossing the street), 向灾区捐款(a charity campaign)...就觉得浪费时间，不愿意帮忙。
2. 没有能力。我们经常看到在路上有人晕倒需要急救，或者有人落水需求救助...很多人很着急，但是自己没有相应的医学知识，就无法提供帮助。(bystanders often hesitate because they donot have the necessary first-aid knowledge or training.)
3.无法识别是否真的需要帮助。比如在路边乞讨的人，很多是正常人假装的，利用别人的好心获利(take advantage of kind-hearted strangers)。所以，如果没法识别是否是真实需要帮助情况，现在越来越多人都不会提供帮助了。
(5) 结果分析：
1. 如果不提供帮助的人越来越多，就会导致很多弱势群体无法得到及时帮助(timely help)，一些紧急情况可能有生命危险。
2. 主动提供帮助的人就会越来越少。真正想帮忙的人会因为其他人都不帮忙而泄气feel discouraged from helping others themselves.
