一、 立论

正方： Good morning, teacher. Morning, everyone.

Being asked whether money can bring happiness, our answer is “Yes,

money can bring happiness.”

As the saying goes that ”Money is not everything, but without money,

everything is nothing.” First of all, to be happy, we have to live on. We need

money to buy food, and it cost a lot when we are under medical treatment in

the hospital if we are suffered from a disease.

And more over, after looking up the word ”happiness” in the dictionary,

we found that happiness is a feeling of pleasure when we are satisfied.

Without money, we can’t get what we like and we can’t do what we want to.

How can we be happy?

To have a summary, supported by so many facts, we are surely believe

that money can bring happiness. That’s all, thank you.

反方： Just now ,the first debater of the Proposition have declared his view to the

question that "can money bring happiness?" but we just hold the opposite

opinion.

As far as we are concerned , money has noting with happiness.

Firstly, although we can buy many things with money, such as big houses,

beautiful clothes, delicious foods. But can money buy everything? Obviously

not! Things like knowledge, precious time, true love can never be bought by

money.

Secondly , money is the origin of evils. In order to get more money, some people

even break the law, stealing, robbing, cheating or doing other wrong things . If

not seek for and attain money improperly , the commit accidents will increase

continuously.

That’s all I want to say and let me repeat our opinion: Happiness is the treasure

that money can never buy !

二、 自由辩论

正方：I totally disagree with you. You just said that money can’t buy knowledge,

precious time, and true love. So there comes hundreds of questions. How can you get

knowledge if you are too poor to buy books and pay for your school fees? How can

you save time by taking any public transports if you have no money? How can you

get married with your Mrs. Right and live in your own house without paying? But if

we have enough money, we will be Knowledgeable, we will be with my true-love girl

forever and I needn’t walk for a long time to waste our youth. How happier we are!

Money bring happiness to us!

反方：Well, in your opinion, the poor won't have happiness? In China, about 70%

people are farmers, and most of them are poor. They have little money, no beautiful

house to live, no pretty car to drive, but they do farming themselves and eat what

they plant. They are happy, aren't they? Contrarily, the people who have a lot of

money can live in the good house and drive the great car, are they really happy? They 2

are often worried about everything around them, is the food safe? Can they make

more money tomorrow? How to protect their money? Well, are they happy? I don't

think so.

正方：Good for you! But all you said are not convincing! Not only the rich have the

concerns you mentioned, the poor also worried about those things, so you can’t say

with certainty that money can’t bring happiness. And there is another ridiculous view

you have mentioned in your statement. you said money can’t bring happiness

because money result in crimes. But I think this phenomenon supports our view

exactly! Why do they do those bad things? Because money can bring happiness! In

those cases, Crime is engendered by poverty instead of money. Why do we work so

hard to earn money as much as we can? Because money can bring happiness! Why

does our government committed to develop economy? Because money can bring

happiness!

反方：But are they happy in the end when they lay by the heels(坐牢)?As far as I

know, many crime often happens to the people who are not really poor, such as

government official and big boss. They have had a lot of money, in your opinion they

should be happy, why did they corrupt so much money? Just because they become

greedy. Money can make people be greedy, not be happy! The real happiness doesn't

need money at al!

正方：Well, today what we talk about is whether money can bring happiness or

not . Money can make some people be greedy,but how can you know that they are

unhappy? We can just say that money make some people greedy at the same time

when it brings happiness to us . Can you tell me that you are not happy if you have

a lot of money ? If so , just give me all of your money which make you unhappy ?

I am willing to suffer all the sadness of you .

反方：Well, in your opinion, they are happy when they were put in prison, aren't they?

You are kidding! （正方林打断：Wait a minute，I have to point out some mistakes
