1 An Friend Indeed
True friends always come to you when their help is in need.They try their best to help you without thinking what they can get from it.This invariably wins them love and respect from otbers,for they devote themselves to the happiness of others.
Up to the time of my writing this article,Aero has been helping me with my selecting the courses with great effort.He is a friendly and zealous guy.I think he has been liked by others since long ago because of his characteristics.He is always brisk,enthusiastic,energetic and he is smiling no matter when or where you see him.However,I like him for some other reason.It seems that between us there is a special way to communicate and it’s not the usual way through which we communicate such as words and gestures.He has always been a friend of mine be cause I like the way he acts and lives and the way we communicate.
One morning a week ago,he came to me and asked if he could be of help.Actually I had been worrying about my course of this semester for days since I hadn’t got any English courses yet!Still I was totally caught off guard by Aero’s offer though he had always been kind.I thought it was my own business and it had never occurred to me that some other individual would offer to help with my selecting the courses.So I declined his kindness.
The very next day,I got a cough and it later turned out to be a four-day high fever.In those days,I was extremely weak and lay in bed all day long and hardly had any strength even to eat.I lost the power to keep an eye on the possible vacancies of the English courses ever since I got a high fever.I began to regret declining Aero’s offer.Just at that moment,Aero called,asking about my health and told me to have a good rest,saying that he would shoulder the responsibility of selecting my English courses for me.Now I am writing this article as the homework of this writing course and I’d like to re emphasize that it is all due to my friend’s effort that I have finally made it.
I was really grateful to him when he called and offered to help and it is hard to express my gratitude with words.
All I want to say about it is that at that moment,I realized that he had offered to help not because it made him feel he was important but because he meant business.He’s a man of integrity.I am proud of having such a friend.
2 The Man I Respect Most
My father is the man I respect most.Stern as he may be,he never fails to show his care and consideration.Once I broke a neighbor's window.Seeing nobody around,I ran away immediately.When Dad came home,he noticed my uneasiness and asked me what had happened.
I could only tell him the truth.Rather than scold me,he praised my honesty and then encouraged me to apologize to our neighbor.I learned from this episode that not only does Dad take care of our health but he also teaches us how to be good citizens.How lucky I am to have such a good father!
3 wealth brings happiness?
The Relationship between Wealth and Happiness Wealth has always been what some people long for.It is true that most of them try to acquire wealth by means of honest labor.Their efforts contribute to the welfare of the society and at the same time to the accumulation of their wealth,and hence to their happiness.
There is no doubt that wealth brings happiness,especially in the modern society.Various kinds of up-to-date household appliances,latest fashions and recreations make their appearance with each passing day.All this makes our life more comfortable and colorful.Therefore,without money we cannot turn admiration into reality.
Wealth,however,can also lead to disasters,if we have an inappropriate approach to it.Wealth may tempt weak-willed persons to be addicted to harmful habits,such as drug-taking and gambling,and result in their own ruin.Besides,a person maylose his reason and go astray if he intends only to seek wealth and indulges himself in leading a luxurious life.For example,there are some government officials who take advantage of their positions to take bribes from the people turning to them forhelp.Obviously,wealth may bring us disasters if we don’t take a proper attitude to it.In my opinion,on no account can we equate happiness with wealth.I also believe that one should never reckon only on wealth to achieve happiness.
