2013年专四作文真题附范文:节约花钱

How to be a smart consumer? As a college student, we can not be independent economically, which results directly in spending money carefully. Some people may say we can use coupons when we eat out or travel, and only buy new clothes when there is a sale. In my view, this kind of saving money way could be called "careful way", but definitely not a "smart way", which means only spend money when there is a need for you instead of when there is a sale or coupons. Firstly, being aware of the nature of sale acitivity and coupons. salers always have all kinds of ways to make us spend money on their products or services, if we do what they want we`ll spend money on someting we don`t really need, and we buy them just because the prices are lower, and that make us a nagative consumer who get trapped in salers` marketing trick.Secondly, making clearly of who you are. As a college student, the most primary work for us is learning so we should not spend our precious time on looking for coupons or group-buy deals which costs a lot of efforts. of course we also need some social activities and leisure time, if it necessary we can change to another way, which is much more meaningful and happier,such as going to picnick, going hiking,etu. To conclusion, as a college student we have to learn how to take good care of our limited money, not only carefully but also wisely.Don`t be play by the salers and changing to another lifestyle are two good ways to be smart consumers.
