托??谡Z:與“購物”有關的句子
1.Charge or debit? (Credit or debit?) 使用信用卡或是電子錢包?
Charge (Credit) 指的就是一般我們說的信用卡, 信用卡使用上很方便, 但若是沒有收入又沒有社會安全卡,是很難申請到信用卡的。而我們的提款卡 (ATM 卡) 就是debit, 它會從你的支票戶頭直接扣錢. 一般而言, 只要去有刷卡的地方都會被問這一句,剛來美國的人常常對這句話感到莫名奇妙, 不知道這句話到底在問什么, 其實只要了解什么是 charge 什么是 debit, 這句話就不難了解, 視你是使用信用卡還是 ATM 卡而回答. 使用信用卡就說 charge, 使用ATM 卡就答 debit。
2. Cash back? 是否要找回現(xiàn)金?
在美國跨行提款的手續(xù)費是$1.5,夠嚇人的吧? 可是偏偏美國那么大, 你要找到跟發(fā)卡銀行同一家銀行的提款機談何容易?那這是不是意謂著每次去提領現(xiàn)金都要負擔高額的手續(xù)費?其實只要你善用cash back 這個功能,那情況就完全不一樣了, cash back 就是說假設你買10塊的東西, 但刷卡時你可以刷30元, 剩下的20元他會拿現(xiàn)金20 塊找你,如此出門就不必帶著大筆的現(xiàn)金, 又不必負擔高額的提款手續(xù)費。唯一缺點是有金額限制, 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, 但是有些特別的信用卡,如 Discover, 也有提供 cash back 的功能. 他的優(yōu)點在于不受發(fā)卡銀行提款機的限制, 我在亞特蘭大拿的 ATM 卡到波士頓一樣可以 cash back, 而且完全不收手續(xù)費, 請大家多加利用。
3. How are you going to pay? 你要怎么付款?
不住在美國的人, 或是剛來美國的人聽到這句話一定覺得丈二金剛摸不著頭腦。其實這句話跟 Charge ordebit這句話很像, 問的就是你要用什么方式付款如信用卡(credit card) 提款卡 (debit card) 或是現(xiàn)金 (cash) 來付帳。這句話在"電子情書"這部電影中曾出現(xiàn)過,在男主角去女主角的書店買東西時,店員就問男主角這句, 湯姆漢克就答: cash. 就是付現(xiàn)的意思了。
4. Double coupon。雙重折價卷。
我想只要在美國待過一陣子的人, 都知道利用coupon 來省錢的道理吧! 所謂的 coupon, 就是由制造商所發(fā)行的一種折價卷, 如 Save 50c 的 coupon (折價卷)可以讓你在結(jié)帳時少付50c, 然后再由這些商店拿著這些 coupon 去跟制造商換錢。那什么是 double coupon 呢? 就是在美國有一家很有名叫 Kroger的grocery store. 為了促銷, 所推行的一種政策。他們宣稱拿著50c的 coupon 去他們的店里買東西, 就可以折價 1 元, 折價的金額足足多了一倍. 多馀的這 50c 是 Kroger 給顧客的優(yōu)惠. 但是也有一些限制, 例如,每張 coupon 的面額不得超過 75c, 而且對同樣一個商品, double coupon 只能使用一次。
5. Bring your receipt to the customerservice, and they will refund you. 把你的收據(jù)拿給顧客服務部,他們就會退錢給你。
美國是個很重視消費者權益的國家, 所以幾乎每個商家, 都一定會有一個專門的customer service 柜臺. 有任何的問題去找他們, 他們多半會給你滿意的答復。我是覺得去超市買東西,他們算錯錢的比例蠻高的, 只要發(fā)現(xiàn)收據(jù)上有任何問題, 就可以拿著收據(jù)去 customer service 要求退錢 (refund). 我覺得老美也蠻有人情味的, 有一次我結(jié)帳時忘了拿會員卡出來, 以致于多付了六七塊錢, 雖然這是我自己的錯,但是當我拿著會員卡和收據(jù)去跟 customer service 說明后, 他們還是把錢退給我. 讓我覺得十分感動。
托??谡Z模板:去哪里購物
托福口語題目:Many people choose to go to specific shops to buy specific products, such as only buying bread in bakery, only purchasing vegetables in vegetable market; while some people prefer to have one-stop shopping, buying all the things in one big supermarket. Which one is your habit and why? Give specific explanation in your response. 許多人喜歡到專門的店購買商品,如去面包房買面包,去菜市場買菜;而另一些人喜歡一站式購物,在大型超市購買所有的東西。你的習慣是哪個,為什么?用具體的事例說明。
郝新宇老師的Sample response:
Personally, I definitely prefer the one-stop shopping in one big supermarket, the main reason is time-saving and convenient. In a big supermarket, usually within halfan hour or forty minutes, I may buy everything I need for several days, such as pizza, bread, fruit and so on, very convenient! However, if buying specific items in specific shops, maybe in the east second ring road I buy my desired bread, in the east third ring road I buy fruits, in the western part of the city I buy fish, seafood and so on, the whole purchasing process might occupy my whole afternoon, which is really inconvenient.
托??谡Z:廣告影響人們購物
廣告影響人們購物
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)
