Can Money Buy Happiness?
Can
money
buy
happiness?
Various
people
have
various
answers.
Some
people
think
that money is the source of happiness. With money, one can buy whatever he enjoys.
With
money,
one
can
do
whatever
he
likes.
So,
in
their
minds,
money
can
bring
comfort,
security, and so on. Money, as they think, is the source of happiness.
But
there
are
still
a
lot
of
others
who
think
that
money
is
the
root
of
all
evil.
Money drives people to steal, to rob, and to break the law. A lot of people became
criminals just because they were in search of money. And in the Western
countries,
there is nothing that can’t be bought by money. Many people lose their own lives
when hunting it.
I
think
that
money
is
essential
to
life
and
we
cannot
do
without
money.
But
even
though money
is
necessary
to
life,
it
can’t
buy
happiness.
Happiness
is
not
something
that
can
be
measured
by
money.
It
is
a
state
of
mind.
One
can
have
plenty
of money, with which he can buy whatever he wants, and at the same time he is not
happy
because
he
is
never
satisfied
or
he
is
troubled
by
various
kinds
of
problems.
Therefore, although money is necessary for a happy life, it can’t buy happiness.

]The Two-day Weekend
The two-day weekend has brought a lot of benefits to college students. It not
only
offers
us
more
time
to
get
rid
of
tiredness
and
have
a
good
rest,
but
also
gives
us more chances to take up some hobbies, such as fishing, reading, or gardening.
From these activities we can learn many things outside the classroom, which will
add to our knowledge.
Despite the convenience it brings us, the two-day weekend has also given rise
to quite a few problems. The most serious one is that the weekdays are filled with
more
lesson,
sometimes
too
many.
Because
our
classes
are
limited
to
Monday
through
Friday,
we
have
to
take
more
lessons
each
day
than
in
the
past.
This
leaves
us
little
time to catch our breath during the weekdays.
In
order
to
benefit
most
from
the
two-day
weekend,
I
have
decided
to
make
a
good
plan
for
the
two-day
weekend.
Of
course
I
should
take
this
chance
to
relax.
But
during
