　　Question

　　Your professor is teaching a class on sociology. Write a post responding to the professor's question.

　　In your response, you should do the following.

　　- Express and support your opinion.

　　- Make a contribution to the discussion in your own words.

　　An effective response will contain at least 100 words.

　　Doctor Diaz:

　　While owning lots of consumer products is believed to increase the quality of life, these products can also impose responsibilities on those who own them. For example, electronic devices, appliances, and vehicles require constant attention and regular maintenance. Possessions also need to be stored and organized, taking up time and space. For these reasons, some people argue that having many possessions can actually decrease the quality of life. Do you agree or disagree? Why?

　　Claire:

　　I totally agree that an excess of possessions can drag down our quality of life. Just think about the time we spend organizing closets or garages. I spend hours every month sorting and storing clothes in my closet. This clutter and the time it takes to manage it can become overwhelming and detract from enjoying life.

　　Paul：

　　Just the thought of having to constantly worry about my gadgets, or even my car, needing maintenance gives me anxiety. It’s like adding extra homework to life. Life often requires owning many things, but personally, l hate having to take care of them all or worry about them getting damaged or lost.

　　范文正文

　　Just like what Claire and Paul said, I also believe that possessing a wide range of products can decrease quality of life. Due to today’s rapid pace of life, many people have insufficient time to maintain or repair the appliances they have purchased. Take the maintenance of cars as an example. Although drivers may enjoy the convenience they bring about,【让步状语从句】 they still have to examine their cars every six months or after driving every 5000 kilometers. This is not to mention the annualinsurance payments, the time it takes to clean their car, especially on a snowy day, and the aftermath of minor collisions that happen frequently on the road. All of these tasks have to be dealt with during people’s precious time after work, which means products like cars actually steal their quality time that could have been spent with their families or doing activities they prefer.【定语从句表示结果】 Therefore, I should say that having more possessions does not always benefit one’s life.

　　写作思路和特色

　　本题是2024年7月10日托福写作上午场的真题。教授说虽然拥有大量消费品可以提高生活质量，但这些产品也会给人带来很多额外的麻烦。因此，有些人认为，拥有大量财产实际上会降低生活质量。你是否同意?两名学生都对此表示支持，且都认为很多产品购买之后需要整理、维护等，会消耗大量时间精力，甚至让人焦虑。

　　本文的观点是同意两位学生的立场，认为拥有太多各式产品实际上会降低生活质量。本文采用了经典的“总论点+解释+举例+总结”结构，沿着两位学生的基本思路进一步详细论述。作者主要从现代人空闲时间宝贵的角度出发，论述了购买和使用太多产品会造成大量时间用于维护它们，并举了保养汽车的例子。虽然开车能让出行变得很方便，但驾驶员需要每半年或每行驶 5000 公里就得做一次保养，再加上保险费、洗车的时间、处理擦碰事故的时间等，所有这些都只能在人们下班后仅有的休息时间来处理。而这些时间本可以与家人共度或者做自己喜欢的事情。因此，拥有更多的财产并不总是一件好事。

　　本文结构和思路比较清晰，用词和句子简洁易懂，适合学生模仿学习。

　　用词用语整理

　　possess v. 拥有

　　possess是雅思和托福写作中经常会用到的词汇，常用于替换have, hold, own等词。其中hold和possess含有较强的控制和保持的意思，例如“She holds extensive property in New York.”(她在纽约占有大量财产。)

　　possess比own更正式，可以表示对才能、财产、家庭、权力等有形和无形的东西的占有，含有支配的意思。own一般指拥有财产等有形的东西。

　　insufficient adj. 不充足的

　　maintenance n. 养护(保持道路、建筑、机器设备等状态良好的工作)

　　annual insurance payment n. 每年支付的保险费用

　　aftermath n. (不快事件的)后果

　　minor collision n. 轻微碰撞

　　也可以使用minor car accident来表达这个含义

　　quality time n. (用于全心照顾某人的)宝贵时光，优质时间

　　【定语从句表示结果】

　　All of these tasks have to be dealt with during people’s precious time after work, which means products like cars actually steal their quality time that could have been spent with their families or doing activities they prefer.这句话的主句是逗号之前的句子，表明与汽车保养有关的琐事都会占据宝贵的休息时间，之后用定语从句的嵌套引出这样做之后的结果，即像汽车这类产品实际上“偷走了”本可以用来陪伴家人和做自己喜欢的事情的时间。“could have done”表示“本可以做某事”。

　　【not to mention句型的化用】

　　This is not to mention the annual insurance payments, the time it takes to clean their car, especially on a snowy day, and the aftermath of minor collisions that happen frequently on the road.

　　本句是not to mention句型的化用，使用This is作为句首，让not to mention能够单独成句，而非用在句中。后面并列了三个开车时经常会遇到的会花费时间的事(保险费、洗车、处理擦碰)，是举例中的细节，而细节也正是高分托福作文必备的内容，让读者清楚地看到汽车让人节省时间的同时，也消耗了时间。
