Topic 33 a piece of jewelry vs. A concert

Depending on personal experience, personality type and emotional, we find that some people hold the idea of enjoying a concert if a gift of money has been received, but others choose to buy a piece of jewelry and that is also my point. My arguments for this point are listed as follows.

durable (длительного пользования, износостойкий) ornaments (украшать, украшение)

The main reason for a piece of jewelry I like is that it has a great value of collection. With the resistance of fading (выгорание (цвета)), erosion and alteration (перемена, переделка), jewelry is probably the first durable ornaments humans possessed (обладали). In addition, owing to rareness, costly jewelry is regarded as (дорогостоящие юв. изд. рассм. как) particular merchandise (особенный товар) and left behind to the offspring. Furthermore, its value will not depreciate like paper currency because of turbulent society and economy. According to the three points above, we can reach the investment value of choosing a piece of jewelry.

Another reason can be seen by every one is that jewelry can make people pretty, and always symbolizes something. For example, through the centuries, rings have perpetuated (увековечивать; сохранять навсегда ) the talismanic role of the diamond. In the Middle Ages and Renaissance period, every ring that was set (было создано) with a precious stone was not so much a piece of jewelry, but an amulet that conveyed (передавал) the magic powers of the stone upon the wearer. On the other hand, "A diamond is forever" is internationally known to men and women of all ages and may very well mean something different for everyone. Aside from its status (Помимо своего статуса) as the ultimate symbol of love, diamonds have been around for millions of years, thus in their own right symbolizing, "forever." So, it is a good present that you buy a piece of jewelry for your love.

Admittedly, listening to a concert also has advantages, but the influence is short-lived. So, taking into account of all the factors that I have discussed in the above analysis, I believe that it is more advisable to buy a piece of jewelry rather than a ticket to a concert.

Topic 33 a piece of jewelry vs. A concert

People make money for living first and then use the money for other things that lead them to a happy and healthy life, such as buying something they like, watching a movie, or eating a big meal. In my opinion, if I have received a gift of money, I would like to buy a ticket to a concert.

For me, music is always attractive. When I have completed a whole day's study or finished the discussion on some academic problems, my spirit will be eager (будет стремиться) to relax for a while (на некоторое время). When people want to relax, it is a wonderful thing to go to a concert: the music playing on the concert is the best thing to set your mind free. If you spend the money to listen to a concert, you will fell that the cost is valuable.

It is worth it

In addition, you can attend the concert with your friends. It is a good chance to build up the relationship between your friends and you. People are always busy with their work and study, losing many occasions of communicating with each other, a splendid (великолепный) concert and link us together. The music, the conductor and all the musicians on the concert can offer us a common topic; we can discuss those things together.

Furthermore (кроме того, более того), listening to a concert let me learn more about music and all kinds of instruments, it also culture the appreciatory (благодарный) ability. To think that I spend the money to buy a piece of jewelry, I can acquire nothing but being a little bit beautiful at one of my friend's birthday parties. In that case, I just fell that the money has gone.

Money, even a little money, can make your life more valuable, for this reason, I prefer to buy a ticket to a concert than to a piece of jewelry (часть драгоценностей).
