书面表达:

人类已进入了一个崭新的世纪，不同的人有不同的幸福观。某英语杂志正在中学生中进行幸福观讨论，请你根据下表的提示，用英语写一篇短文，叙述一些人的观点及理由，发表对其中某一观点的看法，并表明自己的观点和理由，然后向该刊投稿。

What is happiness in my mind ?

Happiness means different things to different people . For example , some students , believe that if they have much money or large possessions , they will be happy . They believe that they will be able to do anything they want to if they have much money . Some students think that they should be in good health , and enjoy whatever they like . Many students wish to have much wealth from their parents . In this way they don’t have to work hard , and they can own everything .

I don’t quite agree with the above points . I don’t think money means happiness . We can’t buy many of the things with money , such as health and knowledge , I value knowledge , which makes me happy , for I can do much for mankind with knowledge . Although different people value happiness differently , my happiness comes from my study .
