2018年托福作文素材（8）

　　People who don’t work since they get enough money are rarely happy.

　　金錢和快樂的關系是人們爭論已久的。如果有人認為金錢和快樂沒有關系，那么說有錢人不快樂也是沒道理的。但是這道題里面還牽扯了另一個關鍵詞——工作。所以，我們可以工作帶給人的價值為切入點來拓展思維。

　　Value 1: Sense of achievement

　　根據(jù)馬斯洛需求層次理論(Maslow's hierarchy of needs)，人的最高需求是要自我實現(xiàn)(Self-actualization)，而sense of achievement就是自我實現(xiàn)的一個方面，也是人能快樂的因素之一。

　　Sample sentences:

　　1. The lack of goal and motivation will make people feel bored and useless no matter how rich they are.

　　2. The research has proved that when people work hard for their goals and manage to realize it, the process will bring them great sense of achievement which is more likely to make people happy than money.

　　Value 2: Team work

　　長期孤獨的人大部分都會感覺抑郁(depressed)，因為人是社會型動物(social animal)，歸屬感(sense of belonging)是人感覺快樂的一個重要條件。

　　Sample sentences:

　　1. Statistics shows that 90% people working with a group are more likely to be happy.

　　2. People possessed money but don’t work may feel isolated, which will lead to depression.

　　Value 3: Common topics

　　社會上的絕大多數(shù)成員都要工作，如果有錢卻不工作容易與社會脫節(jié)(disconnected)，跟其他人缺乏共同話題。

　　Sample sentences:

　　1. As most people in the society need to work, people who don’t work would be lack of common topics with other people.

　　2. People who don’t work will be disconnected with the rest of the society, which may lead to depression. In whatever sense, money cannot buy happiness for people.
