28、Money can’t buy everything, but we need money in our life. If I have a lot of money, I will do a lot of things.

First, I want to build a nice house for my parents. Now I just live with my grandparents.

So I will give a lot of money to my parents if I am very rich.

Now in the 21^st century, knowledge is the most important thing. Can we say “Knowledge is money”? I think so. So I am sure we can have a nice future and a much stronger motherland.
