can money buy happiness? different people have different opinions. some think yes, while others hold the opposite.

it is true that with enough money one can buy all the things one wants, and live a life of comfort and security. however, it is equally true that lack of money causes great distress. it is a common view that "money is the root of all evil." the pursuit of money drives many people to cheat and steal. in some places there is nothing that cannot be bought with money, resulting in corrupt societies where everybody is miserable.

so, money does not necessarily mean happiness. it all depends on how it is used. if we make honest and sensible use of money, it can be a stepping-stone to happiness l although money cannot buy happiness, it can make happiness possible if it is employed sensibly.

today is monday; i wake up at 6 o’clock in the morning. then i have my breakfast at home and take the subway to school. i am quite excited about this day, because our chemistry teacher will teach us to do an interesting experiment. this experiment is about how to create soap. last week, the chemistry teacher promised that we would have something fun in this week. making our own special soap is the mission in this class.

when the experience begins, the whole class is very exciting; we mix the oil, water and lye. you need to be very careful, because the lye is harmful to the skin. then we will stir the oil and lye for about ten minutes, the chemistry reaction will make the liquid into solid. then the soap comes into being. although the process is tired, we have a lot of fun. the most important thing is we learn how to make soap. the time passes so quickly, we feel very busy but learn a lot of useful things.

now we are facing two problems of global warming and a shortage of natural resources, both of which are getting more and more serious day by day. thus, it is important for us to promote a low-carbon lifestyle.

low-carbon lifestyle covers many aspect of our life like transportation, traveling, home-heating, and so on. in order to promote a low-carbon life, some plans must be carried out as follows. firstly, don’t waste any electricity and water. remember to turn off the lights and water taps unless we use them. secondly, we had better take the subways or bus to work, so as to reduce the emissions of carbon dioxide. thirdly, we should use cloth bags for shopping instead of plastic bags, and use recyclable bowls and chopsticks instead of disposable ones, for it can not only save resources, but also reduce pollution. what’s more, it is of great significance to plant more trees, since trees can balance the carbon dioxide emissions.

in a word, if we live a low-carbon life from now on, we will have a better environment and more resources left for our descendants.
