雅思写作优秀范文精选：明天是否重要

 The word “tomorrow” has been frequently used as a synonym¹ of “hope”. It becomes the great beacon² light to the millions. Alas³, who knows exactly what tomorrow will be?

　　Tomorrow is believed to be important to the individuals because human beings as separate individual persons struggling in the process of time and space are not, generally speaking, satisfied with what they already have had. Those who have been considered to have already achieved tremendous success in the society, such as those profiteers and shrewd bankers, desire to live a “better” life and find a “better way’ to make more money. Therefore, they have the ambition about their future. They want to do something “better” tomorrow. In stark⁴ contrast, those who have been labeled as “losers” in the society have the aspiration⁵ to make a change in “tomorrow”. For instance, the undergraduates who have failed to secure themselves in the job market might hope to study a master degree so that they will have a shaper competitive edge in “tomorrow”.

　　In terms of a specific society, “tomorrow” means the opportunity to develop, a word in many senses. Thinking about less developed countries, we find that nine out of ten such states or regions are working and weaving a beautiful “dream” of tomorrow. The governors and the governed alike are visioning a “bright and better” future of material prosperity. They are weaving “a promised land” rich in the honey and milk. Focusing on the developed ones, however, we perceive that such sovereignties are yet unsatisfied with their status quo. They want to “lead” others to live a “similar”, if not the “same”, life as they do, even though they essentially⁶ complain much about their own ways. In this case, “tomorrow” means the opportunity to influence those cultures under which the prevailing⁷ political ideas and ideals, the way people live, and the fundamental values are distinctly divergent from what have been deemed “correct”.

　　To conclude, neither individuals nor the human beings as a whole are satisfied with the “past and present”. Instead, they have dreams, ambitions, and aspirations⁸. As a result, “tomorrow” becomes a critical factor that encourages developments.
