Honorable judges,ladies and gentlement: The title of my speech today is "Can Money Buy Happiness?" can money buy happiess?different people have different opinions.some think yes.while others hold the opposite.it is true that with enough money one can buy all the things one wants ,and live a life of comfort and security .however ,it is equally true that lack of money causes great distress. it is a common view that "money is the root of all evil." the pursuit of money drives many peolpe to cheat and steal .in some places there is nothing that can not be bought with money ,resulting in corrupt societes where everybody is miserable.so, money dose not necessarily mean happiness. it all depends on how it is used .if we make honest and sensible use of money ,it can be stepping-stone to happiess. Although money cannot buy happiess, it can happiess possible if it is employed sensibly .
