最近环球教育（原环球教育）老师带了一个三人移民班的课。学生是三位大姐，平均年龄45岁。她们也算是各自行业的佼佼者。为了某些原因需要移民，在百忙之中抽空学雅思。可能大家都是女性，让我们彼此倍感亲切。

　　课上笔者教授她们雅思写作知识，课下我向她们请教如何生活，或者如何处理生活和工作的关系。也因为这样，我们的课堂倍感轻松。

　　在写作众多话题中，工作、家庭始终和人们的生活最为密切相关，因为这是人们存在的根本或者意义。没有工作，最直接的后果就是生活无法保证；没有家庭，工作和生活便无所依托，缺失了幸福感。

　　在当今的社会，如何平衡工作和生活就显得尤为重要。尤其是人们都很贪心，即希望工作成功满足自己的事业心，又希望家庭美满满足自己情感的需求。那么，由此出发，我们试着以雅思写作的英文素材的方式整理一下这个话题：

　　When it comes to the reasons why most cannot reach the balance between their work and life, people's desire to material success seems to be the dominant one. In most cases, we are more willing to sacrifice time in order to gain more material return, which is regarded as more realistic and practical, especially when fierce competition is becoming increasingly prevalent nowadays. Overwork has been a norm for people who are struggling for maintaining the subsistence and a habit for those who are fighting for achieving the eminence. Therefore, it is no wonder that people cannot spend more time on their own lives. It directly leads to a situation that the importance of life is ignored to a large extent, which conversely forces people to devote themselves in a fuller way to their work to make such kind of life continue.

　　In order to resolve this problem, I believe we must address its root cause first, which, in my opinion, is people's lack of sense of security and misunderstanding about meaning of happiness. From the governments' perspective, perhaps the most effective method of improving the situation would be to perfect the social welfare system for their citizens, which gives their alternatives when they choose their priority between work and life. Accordingly, people's sense of happiness is considerably valued. Meanwhile, people should adjust the attitude towards success and happiness on their initiative to make sure that the material success will not become an obstacle for people to realize the happiness of life. Besides, media's influence certainly cannot be ignored, since it is beneficial to transmit and form an appropriate social value, and thereby potentially influencing people's attitude towards their work and life.

　　以上就是环球教育老师以工作生活为话题整理的一篇作文，希望对大家有所帮助。
