提 示：

　　昂贵的名牌有其存在的理由和价值，但到底该不该花比较多的钱买名牌呢？请写一篇约 120 至 150个单词（words）的英文作文，文分两段，第一段以 To buy or not to buy designer-brand products is a debatable question for some people. 为开头；第二段则以 In my opinion, it's unnecessary to pursue the trend of buying designer-brand products. 或 In my opinion, purchasing designer-brand products is a good way to show one's taste. 为开头并加以发展。

写作前后（Pre-writing & Post-writing）

　　写双主题句作文时，须根据提示的句子内容做进一步的发展。第一段的引导句提到买不买名牌对一些人来说是个具争议性的问题，因此可加以解释名牌为何存在，其特色为何？这样的产品为什么会吸引人购买？第二段的引导句则有两个发展的方向，一是认为不需追随名牌潮流，二是认为购买名牌是展现自我品味的好方法。选择自己对购买名牌的想法后，进一步说明自己为何支持这项论点。

第一段引导句：对一些人来说，买不买名牌是个具争议性的问题。

To buy or not to buy designer-brand products is a debatable question for some people.

第一段发展句：为了响应顾客的需求，许多公司都努力发表更时髦、质量更好的新产品。

In response to customer demand, lots of companies try to develop more stylish products that are of higher quality.

名牌商品会比较吸引顾客是因为它们通常较耐用而且时髦。

The reason why designer-brand products appeal more to customers is that they are usually more durable and fashionable.

喜欢购买名牌的人会觉得自己非常时尚。

People who like to buy designer-brand products might think they are stylish.

第二段引导句：依我之见，追求购买名牌的潮流是不必要的。

In my opinion, it's unnecessary to pursue the trend of buying designer-brand products.

第二段发展句：名牌比其他商品来得昂贵。只为了要跟上最新潮流而花大钱是不值得的。

a.  Designer-brand products are usually more expensive than the others.

b.  It's not worth it to spend lots of money just to keep up with the latest trends.

第二段结论句：只要你知道什么是最适合自己的，你仍然可以很有型又很自在。

You can still be stylish and comfortable as long as you know what suits you the best.

范 文：

To buy or not to buy designer-brand products is a debatable question for some people. In order to meet customer demand, some companies try hard to launch new products with a classier appearance that are of higher quality. Products with designer brands appeal more to customers because the merchandise is usually more durable and fashionable. People who prefer to purchase designer-brand products might feel that they are ahead of current trends.

In my opinion, it's unnecessary to pursue the trend of buying designer-brand products. These products always come with a higher price tag, and most ordinary people can't afford them. It's not worth spending a fortune on these things just to keep up with the latest trends. Some non-designer-brand items are also of high quality. As long as you know what suits you the best, you can still be stylish and comfortable.

　　对一些人而言，买不买名牌是个具争议性的问题。为了要满足顾客的需求，某些公司会努力发表外观更时尚、质量更佳的新产品。名牌商品因为通常较为耐用且时髦，因此会比较吸引顾客。偏爱购买名牌的人或许会觉得自己走在目前潮流的尖端。

　　依我之见，追求购买名牌的潮流是不必要的。这些产品总是标价较高，一般人大多负担不起。只为了要跟上最新潮流而花大钱在这些物品上是不值得的。有些非名牌的东西一样具有好质量。只要你知道什么是最适合自己的，你仍然可以很有型又很自在。
