What Would You Do with One Million Dollars ?
Tell me about what you would do if you received a million dollars. You should say: what you would spend the money on
how much you would save
how much you would give to other people
and explain how you would feel when you received the money

.
Go shopping at first +buy presents
.
I’d buy a nice car for my father=spacious, reliable, classy vehicle
.
I’d purchase a new house for my parents
+
another flat for investment
· Invest: a shop or save and wait until I open my own business (set up my company)
.
Charity? Poverty or illiteracy?
· Traveling
If I ever received one million dollars, it would be so amazing that I would probably scream out
loud and jump around for a minute or two; I might even cry for happiness
!
But then, I would have
to think very carefully in order to decide what to do with the money. A million dollars is a large
amount but it is not enough to go really crazy.
Of course, on the first day or two, I would go shopping and buy some nice clothes for myself
and my best friends
.
I would buy a couple of gifts for my relatives too
.
I would make sure that
everyone is delighted with my presents, but I would not tell them that I have just won the
equivalent of 7 million yuan, to avoid jealousy or greed.
After this, I would definitely buy a nice car for my parents
.
I wouldn't spend a fortune, but I
would buy a vehicle spacious and powerful enough to make my parents’ life easier. I would
probably pick a German car because they are renowned for being reliable and well-made
automobiles.
In addition, I would invest in probably two apartments
:
one for my parents in Fuzhou, and
another one in Xiamen. At the moment, my parents live in an old house in the outskirts of the city.
I would get them a bigger place closer to West Lake Park, or along the river, for them to enjoy a
better lifestyle. I would purchase a flat in Xiamen, because it is a very pleasant city, with the ocean
and the prestigious university, and also because it could be a good investment for the future. I am
sure that the price of the square meter in Xiamen will keep on rising in the future.
In terms of investment, I would either try to buy a shop somewhere, and rent it out in order to
make money every month, or save the money to set up my own company in the future. It would
depend on my studies and my expectations after I graduate.
It would be nice to give money to charity too, but I would need to think more carefully about
the cause I would like to support. Poverty and illiteracy are big issues in China. I would need to
choose with caution.
Finally, I would definitely use some of the money to travel, and see the world. Europe would
be a stunning place to start with.
