《奇葩说》第五季,有这样一个辩题:“高薪不喜欢和低薪很喜欢的工作,你选哪个?”
我和快要大学毕业的小堂妹聊了和这个话题,她说:“希望能找个自己喜欢的工作干一辈子,钱多钱少无所谓。
曾经大学毕业之前的我也是这样想的,“钱不需要多,够花就行”。
但是现在我会这样告诉她:“钱也很重要。不能不考虑。只有拿到钱之后,我们才有资格体会钱对于人生的意义”。
经历了生活,才懂得:
“何以解忧,唯有暴富”不是一句玩笑;
钱买不到健康,却会让你失去健康;
钱买不到爱情,却会让你失去爱情;
你不用很有钱,但真的不能很缺钱。
在《奇葩说》中,李思恒的观点最为触动我,他说:
我不知道你们有没有挤过北京清晨的地铁,我有,但那根本就不是地铁,那就是个斗兽场,每天挤地铁的画面,人山人海,磨踵擦肩。
我好不容易挤上地铁了,可我发现我完全没有办法呼吸,最可怕的是我根本挤不上去。我就看着那个开往春天的地铁,在我面前一趟一趟的过去。
你知不知道,人什么时候觉得自己是弱势群体?
就是现在。
我不知道你们有没有和别人合租过房子,我有三个室友,我每天早上,清早那么早,比鸟还早,我为了干嘛?
我为了就去抢那个厕所。
但是我发现,每次我起床,总有人起的比我还要早,那我就去公司上吧,但是地铁一开,就开一个多小时,所以说实话,我就算再喜欢这个工作我的泌尿系统,我还是得顾得上的吧?
第二点,我们总有一点业余爱好,我喜欢去旅旅游,你以为我心中没有远方吗?我缺的是去远方的那张车票。
我们得承认,自己是普通人,不是乔布斯,也不是梁山伯祝英台,普通人是什么,普通人就是我把整个的职业生涯,当成一场长跑,起跑的时候,多积蓄一点,我会害怕跑不远,跑不动,家人朋友都要为我操心。开始的时候有钱在手里,至少心不慌。
而雅思口语考官也知道我们都是凡夫俗人,关于“金钱”的话题也是他们会考的话题之一。以下为大家介绍两个示例:
示例一
雅思口语考试中,考官也许会问:“why money makes people happy?”这时你会怎么回答呢?
正确回答范本
Honestly, I don't think money always make people happy, but in many cases, we can't deny that we can use money to solve many problems.
We need to pay for our study, our daily expense. If we don't have money, we may even starve. I'm not even exaggerating because there are many people in the world who are suffering from poverty and it's quite miserable.
Therefore, I would say that money do make people happy. We don't need too much, but we need the amount that can satisfy our basic needs. That's my answer.

Ever since the invention of currency. humans have been both enjoying economic benefits and encountering financial problems.
From my point of view, money does enable an individual to lead a more decent life; however. in many situations. it is also the origin of envy. stress, conflict and crime.
On one hand, it is undeniable that earning more money ensures higher standards of living. This is especially evident in the shift of the role that women play in the modern society.
No longer satisfied with the traditional responsibilities of housewives. many females have entered the workforce by taking up a full-time job.
With high and steady double income. couples known as dinkies can readily afford an expensive house and all the luxuries they desire, such as a splendid racing car and a magnificent home theater. That is the very reason why the accumulation of wealth becomes the single most important goal in many people's lives.
On the other hand. money is always straining interpersonal relationships and even causing human tragedies.
Take an extended family for example. If one of the siblings is a high-earning careerist and enjoys all the pleasures of life while the others still lead a rather modest existence, that sibling will undoubtedly become the source of envy and the focus of jealousy.
Also. when it comes to a massive inheritance upon the death of a parent. domestic conflicts may be intensified by each child trying to get a larger share than the others. sometimes to the point that legal actions are involved to settle the dispute.
What is worse, unable to resist the temptations of a high life, some youngsters are lured to commit various crimes. in hope of achieving instant wealth.
In conclusion. personal wealth. with all its merits and demerits, can have a double-edged impact on our lives.
Therefore. it is suggested that while pursuing wealth to increase their living standards. people should be fully aware of all the pitfalls and unhappiness that arc associated with money.
