1. high/low costs (prices, rent and bills, utilities…) 2. financial pressure (support oneself financially / provide for kids and family…) 3. pay/ salary （high/low） 4. economy / job opportunities
high/low costs
此文为连载（约4弹），今天先看第一弹，从costs的角度，来观察以下题目（后附一句话思路）：1. Why do some grown-ups hate to throw out old things (such as clothes)? （丢了旧的，要买新的，都是钱啊） 2. What kinds of things do people like to repair by themselves?（找人修，要花钱，自己省一笔） 3. Is it good or bad for people to have free education in the future?（免费教育，国家担负的成本很高） 4. Do people usually rent or buy a house? Why?（租房相对便宜，买房太贵） 5. Which do you prefer, living in a city or only visiting it as a tourist?（城市生活成本太高） 6. Do old people like to drink coffee?（咖啡有点贵） 7. What do young people and old people think about when making travel plans?（旅游成本高，老人一般跟团游，便宜） 8. Why are there so few top athletes?（培养顶尖运动员成本很高）现在我们一起来看看，如何把题目的逻辑链串出来：
例题 1：
What kinds of things do people like to repair by themselves? furniture (注意这个单词不可数，千万别加s) > most people are able to repair themselves > having a professional repair it would be expensive > repairing yourself can save you a bundle. 注意：这个思路只是此题的某一个层次，完整回答一个P3的题目，最好是有2个及以上的层次和角度例题 2 ：
Do people usually rent or buy a house? why ? rent > most people can afford to buy a house (a 2-bedroom apartment in Beijing typically costs a whopping 2 million dollars, can’t even come up with the down payment, not able to pay mortgage) > renting is relatively cheaper 词汇：a whopping + 一个数字： 整整多少钱（强调数字之大） down payment 首付 mortgage 房贷注意：可以用钱的数字细节来辅助说明问题，尽量给到更多细节
例题 3 ：
Which do you prefer, living in a city or only visiting it as a tourist? visiting > the costs of living in a city are too high (have to pay rent and bills, everything is more expensive) > but jobs don’t really pay that well > too much financial pressure例题 4 :
What do young people and old people think about when making travel plans? old people are more concerned with the costs of traveling > retired with no income, only have meager pension > more likely to choose cheaper travel plans, like guided tours例题 5:
Why are there so few top athletes? huge costs are involved in producing a top athlete (not just talent ) > especially for some sports (such as skiing) > facilities / equipment / coach / travel expenses > a lot of athletes can afford it > quit > not able to live up to their full potential / not able to make it to the top because of the lack of funding 注意：以上所有思路只是这一题的某一个层次，完整回答一个P3的题目，最好是有2个及以上的层次和角度。今天我们仅仅从钱的角度分析（每个题都是可以是多角度多层次），后续会持续送上不同角度分析文，敬请期待。本文作者
