21

23
Today's Spotlight is on luxury.
24
To some people, luxury means excess.
25
Or having more than what is necessary.
26
To others, luxury means goods and services that cost a lot of money.
27
In this case, Luxury can represent high quality.
28

29
- Yeah.
30

39
The global market for luxury goods will have increased 88 % in 10 years.
40
Thank you.
41
So why are luxury goods so popular?
42
especially since they are difficult to get.
43
One of the reasons is because they are so difficult to get.
44
It makes people feel like they have status, or a high position.
45
that other people do not have.
46
The website Psychology Today states: Thank you.
47
Buyers purchase luxury goods for different reasons.
48
One reason is that luxury goods give a sense of status and wealth.
49
They help people feel exclusive.
50
or More rare and special. than others.
51
Luxury brand names want to stay exclusive, or only available to a few people.
52
They encourage the sense that people who buy their products are better than others.
53
If too many people have a particular product, it loses its appeal.
54
Simon Peck is from the House of Luxury, a company that sells watches and jewels.
55
Peck told the BBC: When the person who drives you around owns the same watch as you,
56
It is time to look for something better.
57
But not everyone wants luxury just to feel better than everyone else.
58
Some people simply want to be like everyone else.
59

65
She said that buying particular brands is very popular in Japan.
66
place in society.
67

70
desire for a luxury bag.
71
She writes: I really badly want a luxury Prada bag.
72
Suppose I buy my Prada bag.
73

77

78

79
She told the Luxury Society: Luxury is moral when it comes from creativity and not greed.
80
When you create, to make something beautiful Then you are being mortal.
81
Spiritual? and true Luxury does not have to only represent a fashionable brand.
82
It can also represent high achievement in beauty and creativity.
83
But you still need to have wealth to possess luxury.
84
Buying and experiencing luxury puts a person in a rare group.

91
And it brings up an important question. Is luxury morally wrong?
92

93
Is it wrong to spend thousands of dollars on shoes?
94
That money could buy food for very poor people.
95
It could support schools.
96
It could do many other things too.
97
you Thank you.
98
This is a complex debate.
99
You may not be able to buy $5 ,000 shoes.
100
But you may be able to spend $50,
101
or $100, or possibly even $500.
102
These are still large amounts of money.
103
Any of those amounts could help a poor person.
104
But you need shoes too.
105
How can you tell what exact amount is morally right to spend?
106
Christian teaching moves the question away from numbers and products.
107
The Christian Bible does not say that having wealth is wrong.
108
Or even that desire for beauty and comfort is wrong.
109
It says, 'Keep your lives free from the love of money.' Be happy with what you have.
110
For Jesus said, "I will never leave you." This teaching asks us to examine our hearts.
111
Jesus' followers believe that they do not have to chase wealth.
112

Gölgeleme Tekniği Nedir?
Gölgeleme, başlangıçta profesyonel tercüman eğitimi için geliştirilen ve çok dilli Dr. Alexander Arguelles tarafından popüler hale getirilen, bilim destekli bir dil öğrenme tekniğidir. Yöntem basit ama güçlüdür: ana dili İngilizce olan bir sesi dinler ve hemen yüksek sesle tekrar edersiniz — konuşmacıyı 1-2 saniye gecikmeyle takip eden bir gölge gibi. Pasif dinleme veya dilbilgisi alıştırmalarının aksine, gölgeleme beyninizi ve ağız kaslarınızı gerçek konuşma kalıplarını eşzamanlı olarak işlemeye ve yeniden üretmeye zorlar. Araştırmalar, telaffuz doğruluğu, tonlama, ritim, bağlı konuşma, dinleme anlama ve konuşma akıcılığını önemli ölçüde geliştirdiğini göstermektedir — bu da onu IELTS Konuşma hazırlığı ve gerçek dünya İngilizce iletişimi için en etkili yöntemlerden biri yapar.
