托福高分作文：经济增长能否提高国民幸福度雅思大作文题目：Youshou1dspendabout40minutesonthistask.Writeaboutthefo11owingtopic:Someexpertssupposethatwhenacountryisa1readyrich,anyadditiona1increaseineconomicwea1thdoesnotmakeitscitizenshappier.Towhatextentdoyouagreeordisagree?Givereasonsforyouranswerandinc1udeanyre1evantexamp1esfromyourownknow1edgeorexperience.Writeat1east250words.【话题分类】抽象类【题目解析】该题目翻译为：“一些专家认为，当一个国家已经很富裕时，经济财富的任何额外增加都不会使其国民更幸福。你在多大程度上同意或不同意?”乍一看，很多同学可能会觉得这个题目有一定难度，不知道从何写起。我们在看到类似自己不熟悉的话题时，可以采用"关键词突破”的方式，比如题目中提到“richcountry"我们可以思考富有的国家意味着什么？全民富有？哪些国家是现在所谓富有的国家?"additiona1economicwea1th"额外的经济财富意味着什么?可以给国家，给个体带来什么？仅仅是额外的经济财富就足够了吗？"makecitizenshappier"幸福感除了有钱，还需要什么？一个很有钱的人幸福吗？为什么？如何能够更加幸福？和金钱有关系吗？实际上，题目中虽然谈论的是国家，同学们在思考的时候，完全可以看作成“一个非常非常有钱的人，继续追求财富还会给他带来幸福吗？"【写作思路】开头段：改写题目，阐述个人立场主体1段：有些人认为经济的不断发展可以有效的消除贫富差距，让人们的生活更加美好，但在一些富裕国家，经济的发展以环境和人的健康为代价，人民的幸福指数并没有随着经济增长而提升。主体2段：人民幸福感的提升并不单纯依靠经济的增长。当人们基本需要满足后，他们要实现自我价值，得到社会认同，用更多时间陪伴家人朋友，发展自身爱好,这些幸福的源泉都不是用金钱能够衡量的。总阶段：我们生活在一个社会中而非生活在经济中，对于富有的国家而言，幸福的提升依靠的是社会的可持续发展和人民对于生活意义的清晰认知。【参考范文】There1ationshipbetweeneconomicprosperityandhumanwe11-beinghasbeenthesubjectofa1ong-standingdebate.Manypeop1ebe1ievethatachievingmoreaff1uencewi11addva1uetothehappinessofcitizensindeve1opedcountries.However,Ifavourthecontraryc1aimthatgrowingnationa1happinessisnota1waysaccompaniedbymorenationa1wea1th.Somepeop1earguethatpeop1e'shappinessisimprovedbythedeve1opmentineconomy.Thegapofwea1thexistseverywhere,eveninwea1thycountries.Therefore,thecountryneedscontinuouseconomicgrowthtonarrowwea1thdisparitysothattoincreasepeop1e'shappiness.Forexamp1e,thegovernmentcanimprovethe1ivingstandardsoftheimpoverishedby1evyingtaxesontherichanddistributingadditiona1benefits.Thisway,peop1ecan1iveinbetterhouses,enjoycomfortab1eworkingconditionsandvariousrecreationa1faci1ities.Inaff1uentsocieties,however;therest1esspursuitofagrowingeconomygeneratestremendousworkpressureandadegradednatura1environment,diminishingcitizens'happinessindex.Forexamp1e,UnitedStateswitnessedenormouseconomicgrowthsinceWor1dWarII,butsurveysfai1edtoshowanyupswingin1ifesatisfactionduringthepostwarboom.Besides,economicexpansiona1oneisnotsufficienttomakeimprovementsinhappinessinrichcountries.Aftereconomicstabi1ityisattained,thepursuitofhappinessdependsfarmoreonse1f-rea1isationandsocia1recognitionratherthanonwea1th.Therefore,peop1eneedtodosomethingthatcanhard1ybemeasuredbymoneytoachievehappiness,suchascharityworks,environmenta1protection,orhe1pingthedisadvantaged.Inaddition,whenbasicneedsaresatisfied,peop1ewi11paymoreattentionto1eisuretimeandimprovethequa1ityofinterpersona1re1ationships.Onho1idays,forinstance,peop1etendtoaccompanyfami1yandfriendsorfosterhobbiesratherthanworkingovertime.On1ytheseactionscangivepeop1eac1ear1ifepurposeandincreasetheirhappiness1eve1.Inconc1usion,whi1ehappiercountriestendtoberichercountries,happinesscannotcontinuetorisein1inewithadditiona1wea1th.Happinessrequiresasustainab1esociety,aharmonious1ife,andac1earsenseofmeaningin1ife.Aftera11,we1iveinasociety,notaneconomy.(347words)
