It is undeniable that[注1] money plays an indispensable part in our everyday life and supplies us all life can offer. However, when it comes to the issue whether the main purpose for people who have jobs is for money rather than social status,
it becomes a controversial one because people have different background and values [这句话让我感觉sang是考过G的孩纸,但是这句话在T里面有"废话"嫌疑,最好不要].As far as I’m concerned, I strongly refute the idea that money is more important than social status.
To start with, money can only provide us with material enjoyment
in contradiction with social status , offering us spiritual enjoyment[in contradiction with有修饰enjoyment的嫌疑,会造成表意不清,可以改为:material enjoyment; In contradiction, social status offers us spiritual enjoyment.更加简洁与清晰,]. People dies and their wealth will finally disappear, however, it is their social status remain immortal.
Mother Teresa[赞例子!!!!], who spend her whole life time assisting people who need help,
poor as she was[经典优秀表达!好!], she was remembered by people all over the world
and her spirit has a profound influence and never ceases growing with us [这句话and的并列有点别扭,时态也不是很一样.可以改为: she was remembered by people all over the world, with her spirit influencing the world profoundly and never ceasing growing with us. 或者在第一个and前加上逗号,使前后两个时态隔离开].
Chopin[例子好!], who even cannot afford an apartment through his lifetime, composed plenty of classical compositions which inspire thousands of people to move forward when
confronted confronting with difficulties. The examples above best demonstrate the importance of social status,
[怎么重要呢?可以再次呼应前文,加:which brings us tremendous spiritual enjoyment that money can never create], there is no excuse to make money the major purpose for people who have jobs.
Secondly,
it is not uncommon that[注1] when someone succeed in obtaining social status, wealth and approval follow in succession. The founder of Apple, Steve Jobs, created the apple company just at the mere ambition to change the world. As a result, not only did his products enjoy
gigantic popularity among people all round world, but also
did he become one of the most affluent people in the world[后半句不要求倒装] .
Last but not the least, money functions
as something that satisfies [有点累赘,可以直接: functions to satisfy] our human being, in this way, we should
by no means work just for money and make us
the slaves of money. People who work
intending to earn money
as much as possible as[三个as了,最后一个可以去掉] can carelessly neglect the beauty and happiness of life. Nothing can be compared, with the joyful smile from their children’s face, the praise from their parents or even the leisure time when a family stay together around the table or in front of the television. Never let money get in your way of enjoying the happiest moment in life.
In conclusion, in view of social influence and personal reputation, we can never emphasize too much on
money[是social status吧?] Each individual is supposed to make efforts to attain social statue rather than wealth.
personal opinion:这三个论点我最喜欢的也是我觉得最有说服力的是第一点.将比较贯穿始终.后两个观点就没有像第一个观点那么鲜明了~尤其是第一段的例子,超棒!另外,sang同学估计看过好句35~好多里面的表达^^运用的很好~注1:我考完G以后也特别喜欢写这种句子,但其实非常不简洁.在G里面我是有点凑字数的感觉,但是T不太喜欢这种.还有你第一段里的controversial,出题人会觉得,我出的题本来就是两面都可以写的,当然controversial,要不都一面倒有啥可出的?回到it is....that的句型,其实第一处可以改为: undeniably;第二处可以改为: Not surprisingly.这两个放于句首,又简洁,又明了!
