Step 7 Critical thinking
Sme peple think mney is very imprtant, please write an essay with the tpic “Is mney is imprtant?” and present yur wn idea.
Mney is nt everything
Everybdy wants t get wealth.In tday’s material wrld,making mney r becming wealthy symblizes a persn’s success and capability. Many peple just make every effrt, pay any price t attain greater wealth. With mney,they can buy nice, large apartments in nice neighbrhd. With mney they can wn luxurius cars. Wealth seems t bring all happiness in life.
But is wealth the nly rad t happiness? Nt really. There are many things in the wrld, which are beynd the means f mney, such as friendship, lve, health and knwledge. Peple are s preccupied with struggling fr mney that they have n time r wuld nt take the time t frm r maintain friendship. What happiness can they feel living as lnely miserable creatures withut lve r friends in the wrld even if they accumulate tremendus wealth?
In my pinin, peple can’t d anything withut mney, but mney is nt everything. What mney will bring yu depends n yur persnal belief and gal in life. If yu are kind enugh t help thers, especially the pr, mney is a gd thing t yu. With it, yu can d much mre fr the benefit f peple and yur cuntry, and it will add t yur wn happiness. If yu want mney just fr yur wn needs, yu’ll never be satisfied r happy. In a wrd,yu shuld have mney spent fr mre peple. Only then can mney be the surce f yur happiness.
