financial pressure
此文为连载（约4弹），今天来看第二弹，我们从financial pressure 的角度，来观察以下题目（后附一句话思路）：Why don’t some people have dreams? （现实残酷，生活压力大，忙着工作赚钱，哪里有时间有梦想，有也放弃了） Do people have time for themselves nowadays? （没有时间，毕竟要养活自己，压力很大，时间都用去工作赚钱，没有太多自己的时间） Do you think it is important to save money? Why? （当然重要，每一个人都要吃要喝要钱，经济压力很大，还要买房买车，不存钱怎么行） Why would middle-aged people tend to second guess their own decisions? （中年人，上有老下有小，经济压力大，患得患失，很容质疑自己的决定，很怕决定错误） Why do people get up early? （要早起工作啊，不然哪里来钱养活自己，用什么付房租水电？） Are kids happier than adults? Why? （成年人不快乐，要工作，要养家，经历压力很大） Is it hard for adults to continue learning? Why? （很困难，因为要工作，要赚钱养家，没有太多时间继续学习，在学习的时候也无法专注）现在我们一起来串一下逻辑，并积累相关的词组和表达：
例题 1：
Why don’t some people have dreams had dreams long ago > enter society / enter the workplace > reality is harsh > need money to pay rent and bills > struggle to make ends meet > have to work, work, work > no time to dream / have given up on dreams 注释： make ends meet 勉强度日例题 2 ：
Do you think it is important to save money? Why? everybody has to save money > living cost is so high > need money to buy food, pay rent and bills; have financial goals to achieve: buy a house / save for kids’ education / save for retirement > many end up having nothing when you get older if you don’t save > life will be miserable例题 3 ：
Do people have time for themselves nowadays? not much time for themselves > have to work all the time (a 996 work schedule ) to make money (to pay living cost)；usually a back breaking job > often feel burnout/exhausted > no time to develop hobbies and interests / go on a vacation / take care of health … 注释： burnout 精疲力竭的 backbreaking 艰苦繁重的例题4
Why would middle-aged people tend to second guess their own decisions? need to provide for family > under financial pressure > very cautious when it comes to decision-making > not sure if it’s the right decision, may cause financial loss > family going to suffer; so much at stake > always hard for middle-aged people to make big decisions 注释： provide for family 养家 at stake 处于风险当中例题 5 ：
Is it hard for adults to continue learning? Why? extremely hard > under great financial pressure (rent and bills, provide for family ), have to work hard > can only study after your shift is over > not much time and also hard to stay focused (so many distractions) > learning efficiency is low 注释： your shift is over 工作结束了 注意：以上所有思路只是这一题的某一个层次，完整回答一个P3的题目，最好是有2个及以上的层次和角度，今天我们仅仅从钱的角度分析（每个题都是可以是多角度多层次）。本文作者
