2016年12月英语六级作文范文:买彩票
参考范文:
Nowadays a fashionable street scene is the buying and selling of lottery
tickets. People crowd around either in front of big buildings or at street
corners, purchasing coupons of various kinds, such as those of social welfare,
sports industry and football games.
Investigations made among those "lottery citizens" show that they do it for
different purposes. Some say that they play the game just for fun, others insist
that they want to sponsor athletic development, still some others simply decide
to try their luck.
However, I believe the aim behind the game, if fully exposed, is to make
easy money, as it is said the prize winner can get millions of yuan in an
instant, which is obviously great temptation. In my mind, lottery is much the
same as gambling in nature and it certainly brings more negative effects than
positive effects, if any.
First, the overwhelming majority, being misled by earning-quick-buck
mentality, are impatient and impulsive to put their time and money into wrong
investment.
Secondly, not a few people, being indulged in lottery, lose not only
initiative for work but also interest in life.
Thirdly, some individuals, having gambled away all their money, may commit
crimes.
fourthly, young people, particularly students (even pupils) may step by
step become addicted to lottery and finally leave their studies. I think the
cliche "reaping what one sows" is still applicable today and "sowing" takes time
and hard work to have instant reaping is definitely one's wishful thinking.
Last of all, since gambling and lottery both mean risking money on luck,
why the former is forbidden by law and the latter is so much encouraged? |
