Money Is Not Everything
To some, money is the most important thing in life. In their opinion, having money means possessing everything. With money they can buy a big house to live in, beautiful clothes to wear, and delicious food to eat. Of course, money is necessary, and one needs money to buy necessities, and money can help people satisfy their demands for more expensive things. But that doesn't mean money can buy everything.
For one thing, health and happiness cannot be bought with money. For example, a millionaire who suffered from fatal disease was willing to buy his health with all his money. But he failed and ended in death desperately. As for happiness, it is the feeling you get after you give others something. You have to work hard to make your life full of sunshine. For another, the same thing is true with love, friendship. Both of them cannot be bought with money.
As far as I am concerned, health, happiness, love and friendship are the most important things in my life, which are much more important than money. Money only means the material world, while health, happiness, love and friendship mean the true value of life. (198 words)
結(jié)構(gòu)剖析
文章分為三段
第一段引出話題金錢到底代表著什么，to some對(duì)某些人來(lái)說(shuō)錢就是一切。
第二段說(shuō)明錢并不是萬(wàn)能的，從兩個(gè)方面說(shuō)明有些東西是有錢也買不到的。
第三段是作者自己觀點(diǎn)的表達(dá)，as far as I am concerned,作者認(rèn)為健康，幸福，愛和友誼是最重要的東西。
金錢并非萬(wàn)能
對(duì)一些人來(lái)說(shuō)，金錢是生命中最重要的東西。他們認(rèn)為金錢就是一切。有了錢，他們可以住大房子，買漂亮的衣服，吃上山珍海味。當(dāng)然，錢是必要的，人們花錢買日常用品，買更貴的東西滿足自己的需求。但這并不意味著錢可以買到一切。
一方面，健康和快樂(lè)是金錢所買不到的。例如，一個(gè)得了絕癥的百萬(wàn)富翁想用他的所有財(cái)產(chǎn)買回他的健康。但是，他失敗了，最后絕望地死去。而快樂(lè)往往在你給予的時(shí)候獲得。同時(shí)你必須努力工作讓你的生活充滿陽(yáng)光。另一方面，真愛、友情也都是金錢買不到的。
所以我認(rèn)為健康、快樂(lè)、愛情和友情是我生命里最重要的東西，遠(yuǎn)比金錢珍貴。金錢代表著的物質(zhì)世界，而健康、快樂(lè)、愛情和友情才是生活的真諦。
