范 文：

Recently, there has been an increase in the number of suicides being reported in the media. Some of the deceased had financial problems. Others were under pressure from school. Still others committed suicide because they were heartbroken. Whatever the reason, these suicidal people all had something in common. They believed they were the most miserable people in the world and that nobody could understand what they were experiencing.

 They were so depressed that they chose to end their lives.

Suicide doesn't solve anything. For one thing, it really hurts loved ones. How can someone be cold-hearted enough to make their family and friends suffer? For another, suicide is contagious. It tells others facing a setback that it's acceptable to follow your example. Suicide is never the answer to your problems. Talk to your family and friends if you feel depressed. Life is not a game that can be replayed, so we should cherish every moment of it.

　　近来，媒体报导的自杀案件数量增多。一些死者有财务上的困难，一些因为课业压力，还有一些则因为心碎而自杀。不管原因为何，这些自杀者都有共通点。那就是他们认为自己是世界上最悲惨的人，没有人能了解他们经历的事。他们意志消沉到选择结束自己的性命。

　　自杀不能解决任何事情。首先，这伤害到他们所爱的人。怎么会有人无情到让自己的家人和朋友受苦难过呢？其次，自杀会传染。这告诉其他面对挫折的人可以仿效你的做法。自杀绝非解决问题的方式。要是你觉得沮丧的话，和家人朋友好好谈一谈吧。人生不像游戏一样可以重来，所以我们应该珍惜当下的每一刻。
