雅思作文范文一：幸福是什么

Without any discussing, the key to happiness, in my opinion, is a harmonious relationship with the people in our lives.

It is the people in our lives who bring us the most happiness. Family, friends and co-workers, who are part of our inner circle, share our experiences, hopes and dreams, successes and frustrations, joys and pains. Too often, many of us get on the fast track of life and take each other for granted. As a new millennium approach, more people disregard their passion and interests and choose careers based on job security, pay and professional promotion. As a result, they find themselves isolated and without friends. Loneliness is a common tragedy that destroys lives.

Actually we were old enough to remember the old saying "Money doesn’t buy happiness", yet we strive for the material objects and pay a high price. The essence of happiness is the unconditionally love we have for the people in our lives and their unconditionally love for us. To live life only for ourselves will bring us nothing but sadness and misery.

A self-centered life is an unhappy life. Selfishness is a major block to happiness. Our feelings of insecurity and low self-esteem cause us to be takers rather than givers. Our selfishness is often a mask for fear. If we don’t think too much about ourselves, we have a lot of work to do in order to enhance our self-worth. We must live for something greater than ourselves. To be happy, we must get out of ourselves. An unhappy person must turn outward, not inward, to find happiness.

I truly believe that the happiest people are those who love many things. They love children, family and friends. They love sunrises and sunsets. They love life. They have even learned to love pain and despair rather than viewing them the opposite of happiness.

雅思作文范文二：换工作

Some people prefer to stay in the same job for the same company, but others prefer to change jobs frequently. You should use specific reasons to compare the advantages and disadvantages of both sides.

Advantage of staying in the same job for the same company

Practice makes perfect. After working at a certain position long enough, a person will become very familiar with the work procedures and will be much more experienced, skillful and efficient than new comers in dealing with various tasks at this position.

Loyal employees are more likely to be promoted. If a person stays in a company longer than others, it usually means this person has made more contributions and is more loyal to the company and thus will have better chance of being promoted.

Staying in the same job increases a person’s self-value. If someone keeps on learning the latest knowledge and skills at a certain position in a certain field, this person will eventually become an expert or a professional or at least a highly skillful worker in this field, earning much more than other fresh-hands.

Disadvantage of staying in the same job for the same company = advantage of changing jobs

Some companies are not worth a person’s whole career life. There are some companies which lag far behind their competitors in a certain industry. They offer much less reward for their employees and they do not have a fair promotion system or a reasonable welfare system. Some can barely survive in today’s competitive society. Therefore both in terms of remuneration as well as career prospect, working long for them is not wise.

It is not easy to find an ideal job the first time you look for it, especially for fresh university graduates. Sometimes it is only by trying several jobs can a person eventually know what he or she likes doing most or can do best. Sticking to the wrong type of work makes it impossible for a person to enjoy working.

Some work is so boring that if someone keeps doing it for too long, he or she will feel dull and will become less interested and careful in doing that work.
