2014.6.15 托福写作题目分析
　　题型为比较类；论点为让步；角度可从利弊分析入手。

开头：选择等待很多人用了之后再买。（话题引入+他人观点+明确立场+过渡句）

With the unprecedented progress of science and technology, various technological devices keep emerging one after another, and meanwhile, the same type of product undergoes more rapid iterations. This trend divides people into two kinds: the first kind is apt to purchase what comes out immediately whereas the other kind waits till the product is widely used. Personally speaking, I am the latter kind of people who are conservative in buying things. There are a couple of reasons and examples that support my viewpoint. （83字）

中间段1：新出来的产品功能不完善，过一段时间等功能完善了再买会比较明智。（主题句+解释说明+细节例子）

Firstly, it is wise to buy the device later when its deficiencies get fixed. It is because when a new technological device is available to the public for the first time, there may well be several inconspicuous imperfections existing in it. With the growing number of users reporting the problems to the manufacturers, the following version is bound to be better than its predecessor. Taking iPhone4 for example, this product suffered sharp criticism over signal-receiving problems caused by its poorly-design antenna. After rounds of adjustments, the later versions of iPhone4 gradually became stable in function and earned its worldwide reputation. （100字）

中间段2：新出来的产品价格普遍比较高，等一段时间后价格会回归理性。（主题句+解释说明+细节例子）

Secondly,the price of a newly launched technological device is relatively higher, which means the quality-price ratio is not satisfactory when people buy it at the very beginning. According to laws of economics, when popular device is firstly brought to the market, the supply falls short of demand, which results in a higher price than its real value, but after a period of time, the price will return to a reasonable level. For example, the initial price for Surface, a product by Microsoft, was set at around $600 that is unaffordable to most people. 3 month later, the price was cut down to $300 that is much more reasonable.（109字）

让步段：刚开始就去买也有好处，比如可以第一时间享受新科技带来的新体验，但是等很多人用之后再去买，产品的体验会更好，现在产品更新速度太快了，每次都买无异于浪费金钱。（承认漏洞+堵漏）

It is true that buying technological devices as soon as they are available can have a benefit that is to experience the latest technology way earlier than the rest people. However, if we can buy them after a certain amount of time, the experience will be better because lots of drawbacks have already been removed. Besides, the modern technological devices are changing rapidly. Buying a new device every time it comes out is no different to a big waste of money.（80字）

结尾：重申观点+归纳理由/升华主题

To put it in a nutshell, I prefer to buy a technological device after many people begin to use them. As an old saying goes, good things are worth waiting. Facing a new fascinating technological device, we are advised to wait until the price comes down and the quality becomes better.（51字）
