托福口语素材之与购物相关

　　在托福口语考试中会出现各种各样的话题，像什么校园了，影视了，购物了等等，所以有关这些方面的素材对同学们来说都是弥足珍贵的，今天小编给大家带来的是托福口语素材之与购物相关，供同学们参考。

　　1. How are you going to pay? 你要怎么付款?

　　不住在美国的人, 或是刚来美国的人听到这句话一定觉得丈二金刚摸不着头脑.其实这句话跟 Charge or debit这句话很像, 问的就是你要用什么方式付款如信用卡(credit card) 提款卡 (debit card) 或是现金 (cash) 来付帐.这句话在"电子情书"这部电影中曾出现过,在男主角去女主角的书店买东西时, 店员就问男主角这句, 汤姆汉克就答: cash. 就是付现的意思了.

　　2. Double coupon.双重折价卷.

　　我想只要在美国待过一阵子的人, 都知道利用coupon 来省钱的道理吧! 所谓的 coupon, 就是由制造商所发行的一种折价卷, 如 Save 50c 的 coupon (折价卷)可以让你在结帐时少付50c, 然后再由这些商店拿着这些 coupon 去跟制造商换钱.

　　那什么是 double coupon 呢? 就是在美国有一家很有名叫 Kroger的grocery store. 为了促销, 所推行的一种政策.他们宣称拿着50c的 coupon 去他们的店里买东西, 就可以折价 1 元, 折价的金额足足多了一倍. 多馀的这 50c 是 Kroger 给顾客的优惠. 但是也有一些限制, 例如,每张 coupon 的面额不得超过 75c, 而且对同样一个商品, double coupon 只能使用一次.

　　3. Cash back? 是否要找回现金?

　　在美国跨行提款的手续费是$1.5,够吓人的吧? 可是偏偏美国那么大, 你要找到跟发卡银行同一家银行的提款机谈何容易? 那这是不是意谓着每次去提领现金都要负担高额的手续费?其实只要你善用cash back 这个功能,那情况就完全不一样了, cash back 就是说假设你买10块的东西, 但刷卡时你可以刷30元, 剩下的20元他会拿现金20 块找你, 如此出门就不必带着大笔的现金, 又不必负担高额的提款手续费.唯一缺点是有金额限制, 有些店最多可 cash back $50, 有些店只能 cash back $20.一般的情形是只有 ATM 卡才能 cash back 的, 一般的信用卡是不行的, 但是有些特别的信用卡, 如 Discover, 也有提供 cash back 的功能. 他的优点在于不受发卡银行提款机的限制, 我在亚特兰大拿的 ATM 卡到波士顿一样可以 cash back, 而且完全不收手续费, 请大家多加利用.

　　接下来给同学展示下范例：广告对人们购物的影响

　　Some people believe commodities that are popular among consumers reflect the power of advertisement rather than the real needs of people. Do you agree or disagree?

　　Whether we like it or not, advertisement has been pouring into our daily life. They are so powerful that some people believe that it is not the needs of people but the power advertisement that makes commodities popular. Personally I don't agree with this opinion.

　　First, let's make clear what the real needs of people are. Real needs can be divided into two categories: the material satisfaction and spiritual satisfaction. People tend to regard material satisfaction as real needs and spiritual satisfaction as waste of money and time. This is not true. Some commodities may not be useful but they can give the owner a kind of satisfaction.

　　Second, let's make clear the reason why advertisement is powerful. The key principle of advertisers is to grasp the needs of consumers, then pass the potential consumers the information that their commodities can meet your need. Advertisers can promote the needs of people, exploit the needs or even produce the needs of people. But whatever they do, it will be based on the needs of people.

　　But there are some advertisements that exaggerate the functions of the commodities to tell the wrong information to consumers. They make the commodities popular by cheating the majority of consumers. And also there are some commodities that do harm to the health of consumers and to the society. For example, smoking is poisonous, but the advertisements try to make a heroic image of the smokers, as the result smoking is popular among young men who are dreaming to become heroes in women's eyes. But such advertisements are minorities.

　　In summary, advertisements bring us convenience to choose the commodities that can meet our needs. Most of the commodities are popular due to their usefulness, only some of them are due to the influence of advertisement. (298 words)
