WHY PEOPLE WORK

All of us know that we have to work hard to earn a living ourselves and to support our family. However, we work not only for material life but also for many things that are beyond gaining money. We are working to affirm our ability on a certain field. We feel self-reliant, self-confident, and proud because we are financially independent.

Anyone who works is regarded as a useful member of society. We are working that means we are contributing useful goods and services to our country.

Working helps us train our skills and talents. We always try our best to do a good job. The better we work, the more money we earn and that motivate us to work harder. Without working, a man’s life will be empty, purposeless and meaningless and it is easy for a lazy jobless man to do wrongs.

Living in the countryside is often the dream of people who live in the city.I myself like living in the country.There are many advantages to live in the country.Firsltly, we are closer to nature and can enjoy more peace and quiet atmotphere.There are fewer cars to less pollution.Secondly,life in the country is slower so people there have time for each other.As a result, they tend to be friendlier and more open.If you need help, people will always have time to help you

On the other hand, there are disadvantages to live in the country.Firstly, there are fewer places of entertainment.One has to travel further to go to the cinema or shopping mall.Secondly, because there are fewer shops and services there are fewer opportunities for employment
