Activity I Warming up Talking about the topic: Which is more important, wealth, success or love?

Which is more important, wealth, success or love? Different people have different views on this question. Some people think wealth is more important because if you have a lot of money, you can buy a big house, a new car or fashionable dress. So you can live a comfortable life. Some believe that success is more important. Generally speaking, a successful man has a high status and good reputation. People will look up to you. And success can bring you wealth.

However, most people want to be happy, but few people know how to find real happiness. Money and success alone don’t bring lasting happiness. As we know, love brings us real happiness. What is love? Love is a spiritual quality. Love is to care about your family members, buy food for your relatives, help out around the house by doing housework and help others, do something nice for someone. It is love that makes the world go round. So we should see love is the important of all.
