Let us take an example. Suppose you were to write an essay with the one-word title ‘Money’, you can do brainstorming with a few friends and sort out whatever is churned out from their mouths and yours.These may be the things mentioned in the session:Buy things, get service, very important, pay, rich, poor, made of paper or metal, root of all evils, risk lives to get money, committing crimes, show off, generous, hungry, smuggling, kidnapping, cheating, professional killers, hatred, help the poor and the needy, build schools, orphanages, old folk homes, need not be physical, credit cards, online transactionsFrom the above we can actually sort them out by a number of points which go together such as:a) What is money – It is made of paper or metal such as nickel –very important because it is something we use to buy things and get services from othersb) Rich people have a lot of money to enable them to live a comfortable life, some of them like to show off – poor people with little money sometimes have to go hungry as they have not enough money to buy foodc) Money can be used to do good things – those who are generous and kind-hearted will donate to help the poor and the needy, build schools, orphanages and old folk homesd) Money is also the root of all evils – people are willing to risk their lives to get money – commit crimes such as smuggling, kidnapping and cheating to get money, hire professional killers to terminate the lives of their enemies and those who have offended hime) Nowadays, money need not appear in physical form – credit cards can be used in place of money in hand to purchase things and get services – online transactions can be used to pay utility bills and other bills.
One word essay: Money
Money is no doubt a very important part of our lives. We can even go as far as to say that we cannot live without money. In our society, money is essential for survival. However, money can never buy everything.Firstly, money cannot buy happiness. Although I cannot deny the fact that money can buy you a life of luxury which many people would tend to enjoy, you may have to spend all your life trying to earn the money to continue enjoying the luxury. You may have an infinite amount of money, but if you do not have the time to spend it, to enjoy life, then money is worthless to you.Secondly, money cannot buy true friendship. It may seem that we are able to attract many “friends” as long as we have money, but if one day, you lose all your money, these “friends” will start to leave you.Lastly, money cannot buy us more time. We may be able to “buy” some time by spending more money to take a taxi and arrive at our destination faster than taking a bus, but the total amount of time that everyone has in a day will still remain the same.Money can satisfy many of our material needs, but it will never be able to buy everything.
