【题目解析】

题目大意：人们的购物习惯更多的取决于年龄层，而不是其他因素。是否同意该观点？

备注：该题目的题干中包含的 ‘more than other’ 这个结构，等同于最高级 ‘the most’，因此该题目的表达方式是趋于绝对的，可以按照对’绝对观点’的回答思路来快速应对。即：选择不同意观点，对题目中的年龄层影响因素做一定的认可，但否定它的影响最大这方面；紧接着给出其他同等重要或比它更重要的影响因素。

【写作思路】

开头段：引出购物习惯的差异性，及影响因素的多元性。对题目中的看法表示不完全同意。

主体第一段：阐述购物习惯的其他重要影响因素，如：收入、个人价值观、文化、性别等。(不用都做阐述，只需挑出重要的来做说明，并且这里可以分更多的段落)

主体第二段：认可年龄层的部分影响，但引出它的影响的局限性，并得出并不总是最重要的因素。

结尾段：重申个人的观点

【参考范文】

Shopping is arguably the most common daily routine of people, and a series of factors are at work when people do their shopping. Some people believe that our buying habits are determined by how old we are, but I think it is not always the case. 

Most people would be influenced by their personal value and social settings when they go shopping. In other words, with diversified educational background and social roles, people will probably make different purchasing decisions, even if they are from the same age group. For instance, when buying cars, one person may choose a designer car for his pursuit for materials, whereas his peers would go for a new energy vehicle due to environmental concerns, and yet others who believe in simply lifestyle may be satisfied with just a scooter. 

Another key factor is finance. Higher disposable income allows people to spend more on luxurious items, while a mediocre income compels people to prioritize basic needs like education, groceries, and clothing. Financial condition not only influences what we buy, but also how often we do our shopping. Lower income individuals would be much more prudent and consider less about renewal and replacement of their daily items. 

Having said that, age is also one of the primary factors that impact our buying behavior. A teenager’s purchasing choices often seem much more vibrant and flashier than an elderly person. Meanwhile, middle-aged people would naturally focus more on purchasing properties, houses, or vehicles. However, it would be too simplistic to consider age as more influential than other driving forces. 

In conclusion, since it is never straightforward to define people’s buying pattern, the determining factors influencing consumer habits would seem endless and impossible to pin down. Therefore, age is just one of the many equally important factors, including but not limited to personal background and beliefs, and financial status.
