Writing Exercise 288 - IS 1000RMB LIVING EXPENSES PER MONTH ENOUGH FOR A UNIVERSITY STUDENT? (PART 1) Recently, a video has triggered an ongoing public discussion. In the video, a university student complained that her father is only providing her with 1000RMB ($155) in living expenses per month and said, ‘It is not enough to live in a first-tier city.’ Is 1000RMB per month enough for a university student? I think it is enough! Firstly, students still depend on their parents, who must try their best to give what they have to their children. They should appreciate what their parents provide. (this doesn't support the idea that 1000 is enough to live on) Secondly, students should learn how to make ends meet. Thirdly, a student's job is to study hard at university rather than enjoy their retired-like lives on campus. Last but not least, university students are adults. They can earn spending money by doing a part-time job to get what they want.
