时间和金钱 Time and money

Some people say, “Money is more important than time.” Some say, “We can buy everything with money.” For some people, money is everything. They think they can buy everything they want, including time. Do you think so? No. I don’t think so. Because when money is spent, we can get it back. However, when time has gone, it will never return. Nevertheless many of us always waste time and put off today’s work till tomorrow.

In fact, time is more important than money and time never stops for anyone or anything. For everyone, time is so limited that if we waste our precious time, we won’t get it back. Therefore, we should save every second we own and make full use of our time to study hard. The harder we work now, the more we will get in future!

A: Our topic is “Time is money”. As we all know, with the development of the modern society, time becomes more and more important for us. We want every minute to count.

B: I always think there is not enough time. For example, every time I take a three-day holiday, I always feel that it is just like only one day. Do you have the similar experience?

C: Yes, time is so precious. A businessman once said: a second is able to let me lose lots of money. A player said: a second can make me be a loser of race. Thus, you can imagine how valuable time is. So I believe that time can bring great changes.

D: Oh, yeah, I couldn’t agree more. Time can bring great changes, maybe just one second everything will be different.

As students, we must make efforts to engage in our study so as to serve our nation and people in the future. But it is a pity that there are a lot of people who do not know the importance of time. They do not realize that wasting time is equal to wasting a part of their valuable life. 2
