The Role Money Plays in Your Life
Tell me about the role money plays in your life.
You should say:
how important money is in your life
what you spend money on and how much you save/invest
if you spend money in the same ways as most other people
and say whether you consider money to be the most important thing in life
．
．
Money
＝
essential for daily necessities (food, pay the bills)
．
Studying abroad
＝
high tuition fee
＝
be under pressure
＝
must succeed
．
My parents taught me it was important to save money.
．
In the future
：
I want to become a…to enjoy my job and make a decent salary.
．
Some people say money can't buy everything…But it helps
！
Well, money obviously plays a fundamental role in my life. I use money to buy daily necessities
：
I have to pay the bills (water, electricity)
．
I use money every day, and my life would be a lot more
complicated if I did not have any money.
Next year, I want to continue my studies in Australia. I am planning to get a Bachelor's Degree
in Business at Sydney University. I will need to spend a huge amount of money on tuition. I think
it will cost. me about AUS$30,000 a year; and I plan to stay there at least 3 years
．
My parents will support me financially, but it also means that I will be under a lot of pressure
because I definitely need to study hard and pass the exams. It is similar to an investment in my
future: I must pay first in order to make more money later on. My parents have always told me that
money was not easy to get. I remember my father telling me, when I was a child, that money did
not grow on trees
．
My father has always emphasized the fact that it was important to save and not
to waste money.
In the future, I would like to work for a big company as a manager not only because I like to
have responsibilities, but also because I really want to earn a decent salary and lead a comfortable
life. I really hope to make enough money to buy a new house for my parents to retire in the
countryside.
I agree when people say that money is not the most important thing in life. We say that "Money
can't buy everything", but it helps…Without money, our lives would be a lot more
challenging. I
would not be here taking the IELTS test, getting ready to study overseas for example. Money
definitely plays an essential role in our lives.
