Q146. Is it important to have expensive but beautiful things such as
fancy cars and designer label clothes?
A. Sample Answer
It's not important to have expensive and beautiful things for two important reasons. First off,
most expensive things are really not worth the price. I think that we have to be humble; for me, what's
most important about a car is whether or not it functions correctly, not whether it looks beautiful or is
expensive. Therefore, paying lots of money for a car is useless because cheaper cars exist. Also,
more people will hate you if you have expensive things. Having designer
label clothes makes you
hated by a lot of people. I know once I wore a Prada scarf and people came up to me and called me a
snob. Therefore, I don't think that we even should have these sorts of pricy items.
