Which is more important, Health or Wealth? 1.介绍你对健康与财富之间关系的看法; 2.简述你持有以上看法的理由。
范文
Some people in this world believe that wealth weighs much more important that health. In their points of view, they take wealth as their vital pursuit.While others think that health is a fundamental part of man's life.
As for me, I would choose health rather than wealth as an aim for which I would like to put my whole life to chase. The reasons why I am leaning health are that firstly, a healthy body is invaluable and nothing in this world could purchase it even you

have stocked tons of golden bars in your yard; secondly, you can create a better life by working hard with your body to live in a bigger house, drive an expensive car or go to many other places, but what if your body is in very serious condition? Will you still have that strength and mood to enjoy all of those?
So the true value of life doesn't rely on the amount of wealth you have, but the healthy body, with which you are holding a ticket to the promising future.

范文一:
My English teacher appears very beautiful and she looks about 40 years old. She has a son. Our English teacher is very strict with us, and sometimes, she is very friendly and kind to us. She is also humorous. On the April Fools' Day, she said to us, “you are going to have a holiday this afternoon\she is very strict. We are afraid that we cannot pass the exam, because the teacher will criticize us if we don't pass. She doesn't give us too much homework, and she doesn't give us too much pressure. Sometimes, we like our English teacher.
I like English, and I like my English teacher. 范文二:
Echo, my favorite teacher, is a pretty and slim lady. One of the most important reasons that I like her is that she is very sincere. When she talks to others, she always has a smile on her face.
I think Echo is a natural teacher because she has a lot of good methods on teaching. She is not only quite friendly, but also humorous. Her class is full of fun that you will never feel bored. To improve our English, she usually gives us some advice on how to learn English well. What’s more, she sacrifices her own time to help every student. Sometimes, she even has no time to have lunch. When I ask her questions, she spares no effort to make me understand, with patience and kindness. I have never seen such a good teacher as her before.
A good teacher can point out the direction and give you endless strength when you get into trouble. I’m lucky enough to have such a good teacher in my life. Echo has a great influence on me. I’m grateful for her help.
