雅思大作文范文：富国人民为什么不快乐

　　People in developing countries are happier than before while people indeveloped countries are no happier than they used to be. Why? What lesson canyou learn from it?

　　话题好像是问为什么在已开发的富国人民不如以前快乐，而相对的，在开发中的人民却是比以前快乐?又问从这种情形学得什么教训?

　　Financially speaking, people are supposed to be happier when their incomesexceed expenses, but the reverse seems to be happening to many people in somedeveloped countries. In comparison, people in some developing countries with amuch lower measure of per capita income appear to be happier in what they areactually able to buy within their earnings. The message seems clear enough:higher living standards do not necessarily add to happiness but excessivespending can certainly undermine it.

　　It is hard to tell what does bring happiness when wealth may ironicallyfail as much as poverty. In countries full of comforts and luxuries, there arechances that people are beginning to count their troubles in the presence ofrising living costs. This is very unlike people in developing countries who makepositive sense of life by counting blessings and joys. Even in rich countries,life may become more stressful and less enjoyable under the pressure ofincreasingly higher living standards from time to time. What is worse, jobsecurity is already a major concern particularly among less skilled employeeswho are nervous about impending layoffs. Besides, the reality of financialcrisis is spreading from one developed country to another, further complicatingthe difficult situation and fueling the anger of many less happy people.
