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. My parents can’t afford to build one beautiful house, because the money my parents make is only used to pay for my study and everyday life. I feel sorry for them. So I will give a lot of money to my parents if I am very rich.

Second, I will give money to the poor children, then they can go to school and they can get knowledge（知识）. When they grow up, they can work for the country. 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.
