What
happens when you get lots of money all at once
Sometimes
we can’t decide our lives, maybe we will get millions of money all at once. But
we should plan our luck money and don’t waste it. If we spend too much money,
we may go bankrupt or be arrested.
Example 1
There is a former NBA star named Antoine Walker. He is a good example
that people get millions of money and run out of it. He got more than ninety
million dollars by playing basketball for thirteen year. But he run out of them
in two years after he retired. He gambled, dated with some bad girls, made some
terrible investment and be robbed. His life was so poor that he sold his NBA
championship ring. But now a days, he ask the youth don’t follow him and begin
to plan their money well. He made a documentary named My Road to Redemption and
a book tells how he broke. We can learn a lot from his life.
Example 2
Lottery
is the easiest way to get money all at once. An old named Wang got twenty
million yuan by lottery. He spent ten million yuan on buying houses in Shanghai
and about one million on road work. He gave his relative a lot of money and
some poor people some money. He made his money much meaningful.
Example 3
In
China, demolition making people is a special event. We heard that some villages
got almost one billion yuan because of demolition. Everyone in one village got
at least one million yuan because of demolition. But they wasted their money. Someone
gambled, someone made bad investment, someone bought lots of thing. Finally
some people can only make living by rent. They became poor again.
In
the end, we should learn a lot from these story. Don’t waste money, make a
plan, and so on. Maybe we have a lot of money, but if we don’t make money, we
would run out of them. We should make money by ourselves, or we would became
poor fast.

Duncan, This is an excellent topic! And you do a great job finding stories. Please make sure to use sources in English (not Chinese).
回复删除Please also pay attention to your grammar. It is easy to confuse the adjective forms and noun forms of words.
