Doctor Diaz:
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?
(1). 这道题应该重复了2024.10.30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）

Doctor Gupta
Do you prefer to get news from traditional sources like television or newspaper or so social media.
审题注意点:(1). 这道题重复了24年9.21日的原题。也命中了团里day9讲解过的原题，当天也讲解了范文。 这就是今年第8次命中原题！
在2020年美国大选的时候，据传Facebook 和twitter上都有很多fake news，影响了民意，导致特朗普落选。之后由于国会山事件，特朗普被社交媒体封杀，自己创办了Truth social 平台，自己发布自己的消息。
(2). social media: 比如Facebook, X(Twitter)，TikTok …等。
特点是：所有人都可以在上面发布信息，信息面全。而且时间快，有图文有视频，非常方便吃瓜群众第一时间吃瓜。还可以看到评论在。内容也很多，从政治到娱乐八卦。
问题：没有审核，假新闻层出不穷。民众容易被误导。
(3). traditional sources like television or newspaper:
特点是：专业，严谨,有审核，假新闻少。更全面深入报道。
问题是：速度相对慢。新闻报道主要是政治，经济科技等主流方面。
👩🏻🏫：当然美国的媒体也会受政党影响，报道不那么公正。--这一点老师就不建议大家写了，我们托福写作还是尽量避免触碰敏感的政治话题。
双反的优缺点都很明显，大家可以挑选自己喜欢的内容写。注意观点的清晰，对比明确。
参考范文：
I prefer getting news from traditional sources, such as television and newspapers, primarily because they provide reliable information and in-depth analysis.
Unlike social media platforms, where anyone can post withoutfact-checking, traditional media rely onprofessional journalists and experienced editorsto ensure the accuracy of their reports. This process gives me confidence in the news I consume and helps me gain a full understanding of the events.
For example, after the Wenchuan earthquake in China, numerous users on social mediaspread false stories and edited photos,causing public panic. However, professional journalists, who traveled with the rescue teams, providedclear and accurate reports,reassuring people that the government was actively responding and thousands of lives were being saved.This stark contrast domenstrates how traditional media play a crucial role in providing trustworthy news during crises.
In conclusion, traditional media, with their professional standards, offer a more reliable source of information than social platforms.(154字)

题目回忆：short flight 是否应该被ban?
审题注意点:这应该是一道新题，搜集于网络。所以我还不能确认这道题目的具体内容，为了不误导大家，所以还不能分析。欢迎今天考到这道题的同学在下方留言回忆。等老师获得更准确的题目后，再给大家做详细的分析。
随着科技的进步，航空飞行，甚至太空飞行，可能在不久的将来就会成为我们的日常。因此，航空相关话题自去年以来已逐渐成为托福考试中的一个小热门。
