英语自学网

　　题目：Some people think that personal happiness is directly related to
economic success. Others argue that happiness depends on completely other
factors. Discuss both of the views and give your own opinion.
        　　In recent years, the discussion of whether personal happiness is directly
associated to economic success has become a controversial issue. Notions toward
it differ widely from person to person.
        　　Some people believe that happiness is related to economic success because
only money can make people’s life more enjoyable. When it comes to economic
success, the majority of people believe that money means a luxurious life. To
begin with, if someone owns great success on economic, that means he can spend
more money on whatever he likes and spend more time on his hobbies. Emotionally,
money can buy happiness at least to some extent. That is to say, you can buy
things that you like in order to fulfill your needs and vanities and this makes
you feel happier. You can also enjoy the best education and social welfare.
Thirdly, economic success implies high social class and status, which can make
people feel happy and respectable. (51ielts.com)
        　　Opponents, however, hold the view that happiness does not depend on
economic success but completely other factors. First of all, numerous studies
show that happy individuals are successful acros阿s multiple life domains,
including marriage, income, work performance and health. The happiness exists
not only because economic success makes people happy, but also because positive
affect engenders happiness. What’s more, It is indisputable that there are
millions of people who still have a miserable life and have to fact the dangers
of starvation and exposure, but some of them sill lead a happy life because they
keep the happy spirit. Last but not least, money can not buy everything, such as
friendship, true love and health. You can buy things corporeal, but you can
never spend money to ask for more time.
        　　In the final analysis, both sides have sound foundations. However, if asked
to make a choice, I will not hesitate to assent to the latter. I firmly believe
that happiness is not only related to economic success but also links to other
factors which are much more significant.
