Directions: Wealth brings happiness. (財(cái)富帶來幸福). In this part, you are to write within 40

minutes a composition of about 200 words about the “The Relationship between Wealth and

Happiness”. You can agree or disagree, completely or partially to the above statement. But

whatever position you take, you should give sound supporting reasons. At the end of your

composition you are required to draw your own conclusion.

財(cái)富一直是有些人所渴望的對(duì)象。確實(shí)，大多數(shù)人努力通過誠實(shí)的勞動(dòng)來獲取財(cái)富。他

的努力對(duì)造福社會(huì)有好處，同時(shí)也促進(jìn)了他們財(cái)富的積累，因此也使他們更幸福。

毫無疑問，尤其是在現(xiàn)代社會(huì)里，財(cái)富帶來幸福。各種現(xiàn)代化的家用電器、時(shí)裝和娛樂層出不穹、日新月異。這一切使我們的生活更為舒適、豐富多彩。因此，沒有金錢，我們就無法把羨慕變成現(xiàn)實(shí)。

但是當(dāng)財(cái)富脫離了幸福，就會(huì)產(chǎn)生各種例外。財(cái)富可以促使意志薄弱者養(yǎng)成惡習(xí)，如吸毒或賭博，并導(dǎo)致他們自身的毀滅。此外，如果一個(gè)人一心追求財(cái)富并沉溺于奢侈的生活，他就會(huì)失去理智、誤入岐途。例如，甚至還有一些政府官員利用他們的職位向求助者索賄。所有這些都會(huì)產(chǎn)生財(cái)富的負(fù)面效應(yīng)，如果我們不能正確對(duì)待財(cái)富的話。

依我看，無論如何我們也不能把財(cái)富和幸福等同起來。我還認(rèn)為人們永遠(yuǎn)也不應(yīng)該只依仗財(cái)富去獲得幸福。

Wealth has always been what some people long for. It is true that most of them try to acquire wealth by means of honest labour. Their efforts contribute to the welfare of the society and at the same time to the accumulation of their wealth, and hence to their happiness.

There is no doubt that wealth brings happiness, especially in the modern society. Various kinds of up-to-date household appliances, latest fashions and recreations make their appearance with each passing day. All this makes our life more comfortable and colourful. Therefore, without money we cannot turn admiration into reality.

But there are exceptions when wealth does not go hand in hand with happiness. Wealth may tempt weak-willed persons to be addicted to harmful habits, such as drug-taking and gambling, and result in their own ruin. Besides, a person may lose his even some government officials who take advantage of their positions to take bribes from the people turning to them for help. All these will bring about the negative effect of wealth if we don’t take a proper attitude to it.

In my opinion, on no account can we identify wealth with happiness. I also believe that one should never reckon only on wealth to achieve happiness .
