文本素材&亮点词汇：

Describe something that you can’t live without(not a computer/phone)

You should say

What it is

What you do with it         

How it helps you in your life

And explain why you can’t live without it

I have to admit, this is a tough one but what immediately sprung into my mind(我突然想到) is money. Basically, it’s an integral(不可或缺的；必需的) part of one’s life. Imagine a world of being penniless(身无分文的). I wonder how we can make it through the day(我们如何度过这一天). We need these bills in order to procure our basic needs(满足我们的基本需求) such as food, shelter, clothing, and other necessities(必需品). It’s so weird(奇怪的) that this piece of paper can either make or break a person.

Gone are the days of barter(物物交换的日子一去不复返了) so in contemporary times(当今时代), I need money so I can buy my needs and wants. I can use it so I can make financial transactions, pay my bills, and use it as a way to acquire products and services.

Let’s be honest, I’m not the only one who thinks money is something they can’t live without. As a matter of fact, people go through such great lengths(人们经历了如此漫长的过程) so they can have tons of it that they have to work day in and out(日复一日地工作) so they may have the means to achieve comfort and luxury. In addition, others think that money is the root of all evil(万恶之源). I don’t deny the fact that there’s truth to it. People tend to be greedy(贪婪的) and they commit crimes(犯罪，作奸犯科) just to obtain cash. While others think it is their happiness.

Ultimately(最终), I understand that money is just a tool but it’s a means to an end(它是达到目的的手段).
