Practice
Write about the following topic:
Food can be produced much more cheaply today because
• One the one hand, people commit their lives in earning huge sum of money because
they consider money and happiness goes hand in hand and for them life without
money will be miserable and one cannot enjoy to the fullest extent. For instance,
people that find happiness in traveling, branded clothing or expensive dining would
not be able to enjoy without money. Another example is of parents, whose child is
severely sick and needs expensive medication or treatment abroad, with wealth,
parents can buy happiness for their child. For them merriment and capital funds are
closely related to each other and one cannot image to live without it.
• On the other hand, there are several plausible arguments which say that money has
not relation with cheeriness. People believe that money cannot remove their sorrows
and sufferings. For instance, a mother who has lost her child in war, money is of no
value because her grievance and tears cannot be wiped through financial aid and to
make her glee. Soothing words and sympathy can calm her down and bring some
elation.
• To conclude, the above provide solid arguments in favor of both views. I personally
believe that money give lots of benefit to people in terms of their status and lifestyle
but one should not equate money as the vital factor in bringing happiness.
