It is argued whether monetary or social contributions should be used to measure a person's success in society Although the former viewpoint may be correct in some circumstances, I believe the latter is more logical for various reasons Whether money should be considered as the criteria to assess a person’s success in society To begin with, there are many reasons why people believe that individuals who earn high incomes are the most successful It is an undeniable reality that persons with a high pay are more likely to work in large corporations or have decent positions This can be seen in the instance of successful senior directors of huge corporations, who not only receive respect from their peers but also make hundreds of thousands of dollars per month Secondly, the majority of people feel that successful people are those who can afford a luxury lifestyle To put it another way, they can enjoy good living standards while purchasing outrageously expensive items like jewelry, clothing, and cosmetics On the other hand, I am still convinced that people who contribute to the community are the most successful First, not all affluent people get their fortune legitimately because they may engage in illegal activities such as heroin trading and money laundering to make a profit As a result, despite their wealth, these cases cannot be deemed successful To be more specific, being a scientist or a teacher is not easy, and people must devote a significant amount of time and effort to acquire knowledge in order to meet the 10 standards of such high-level positions As a result, they will be respected by others and regarded as the most successful in society In conclusion, being rich can be considered to be successful, however, I hold a firm belief that people who contribute to society are the most successful ones 11 LIST OF REFERENCES English textbook of Hanoi Procuratorate university 12 ... the advantages What about the disadvantages? reasons / consequences It is So much about the essential to form paragraphs advantages There are also a number of disadvantages - Each paragaph must... “for and against” essay Key question words - Discuss the advantages and disadvantages - Discuss the advantages and disadvantages and give your own opinion - Discuss both views / sides of the argument... colloquial language, advanced (idioms, phrasal verbs, vocabulary) colloquial English and omission of pronouns) No abbreviated forms Abbreviated forms Letter of apology 3. 1 Common structure of a formal
