VIP Class Notes (Lily)[S]

Do you think many people buy many things that they don’t really need? What do you think has caused these people to love shopping so much? Do you think people will change their attitudes in the future?

I think many people buy a lot of things they don’t really need. For examples, I bought 4 jeans yesterday, because I think it’s cheap, so I bought 4. I think I have more than 20 in my home. Sometimes people buy things because they feel pressure, they want to relieve. Sometimes they just want to own a lot of things. Also maybe someone is shopaholic, they cannot control themselves. Someone they just want to compare to others, others have something, they also want to buy the same one. Actually one thing is popular now is “duansheli”, some of my friends, we try to clean the closet and we will donate the clothes or bags or shoes to the institutions, then they will give the children who really need the things. I don’t think people will change the attitude, there’s always people who want to buy more things.

I think it gets better with age, when you age, you will focus on other things, maybe healthy, and you would like to wear something comfortable but not expensive. We will focus on the function, and not just beautiful.

I think young people are not easy to accept their opinion, this is their life. When we were young, we also had this experience, we will buy things, then we know what we want.

Revised

I think many people buy a lot of things they don’t really need. For examples, I bought 4 jeans yesterday, because I think the price was cheap, so I bought 4. I think I have more than 20 in my house. Sometimes people buy things because they have too much pressure, they want to feel relieved. Sometimes they just want to own a lot of things, or someone might just be a shopaholic, he cannot control himself. Some people just want to compare with others, others have something, they also want to buy the same one. Actually one concept is popular now: “duansheli”, some of my friends, we tried to clean out the closet and we will donate the clothes, bags, shoes to the charities, then they will give them to the children who are in need. I don’t think people will change the attitude, there are always people who want to buy more things.

I think it gets better with age, when you age, you will focus on other things, maybe healthy, and you would like to wear something comfortable but not expensive. We will focus on the function, and not on the appearance.

I think it’s not easy for young people to change their opinion, this is their life. When we were young, we also had this experience, we will buy things until we know what we want.
