Can money buy everything ?
朱欣怡（高中直升2班）
I’m absolutely sure that money can’t buy happiness. That’s because we can’t fail to realize that money is the roots of all evils.
Such is human nature that everyone likes money because nobody can live without money. In spite of this, money can’t be paid in exchange for happiness not only because happiness is valuable but also because money is not the thing that can be used to do everything. Though we can buy food and clothing with money, it’s impossible to buy happiness because happiness is so honorable that we can only create it by ourselves.One day, you will be too old to walk and then it’s time for you to look back upon your past. Definitely, you’ll realize how important your health is and that health means happiness. I don’t think you can buy health or happiness with your money. If you want to keep fit, you have to work out. If you want to keep happy, you have to have a cozy environment. Very often, money alone can’t do that.
Money is something, but not everything.
Teacher’s comments:
This is a composition in the Mid-term Examination. The writer sets out by pointing out that money can’t buy happiness, after which she further explains to us that money is the root cause of all evils. She also analyses why money can’t be used in exchange for such things as health or happiness. The article ends with the conclusion: Money is something, but not everything.
The whole passage is filled with so many beautiful expressions that we cannot fail to notice. Reasoning is also one strong point to make this article the one that stands out in a thousand. Zhu Xinyi is such a student, anxious to learn and good at learning. That’s what other students should learn from.
