开头：不同意现在的学生比过去更喜欢帮助他人。（话题引入+他人观点+明确立场+过渡）
Helping others has always been a virtue. Schools and families educate children that it is everyone’s responsibility to offer a helping hand to those in difficulties. However, with economic prosperity, people pay more attention to materials and individual success, creating a selfish young generation. As for me, I agree with the opinion above and believe that young people today are not as warm-hearted as their counterparts in the past. I am about to elaborate my point of view in the following paragraphs. (82 words)
中间段1：现在的孩子被宠坏了。（话题引入+他人观点+明确立场+过渡）
Firstly, today’s children are more likely to be spoiled. When people’s lives become more wealthy and affluent, they do as much as they can to create a perfect environment for their next generation. Too much love and care from parents gradually let young people develop a sense of superiority without knowing how to respect and help others. I often observe in buses that young people sit in the seats reserved for senior citizens. Even though a senior citizen standing besides, they pretend to be absorbed in the game on their cellphones, forgetting their obligation to offer chairs to those in need. (101 words)
中间段2：现在的年轻人压力也大，很少有时间思考帮助他人。（主题句+说理论证+细节例子）
Secondly, the pressure young people face today is unprecedentedly high which deprives them of the time to think about helping others. As is known to all, students need to work very hard in competing against their peers in order to get access to good universities. After graduation, what awaits them is not a relaxing life but more fierce competition for better job opportunities. Such a stressful lifestyle makes them feel less compelled to help others. Taking my little nephew for example, apart from countless homework assigned by teachers, he has to attend piano class on weekends required by his parents. “I even can’t help myself with all these works. How come I spare some time to help others?” said him. (119 words)
让步段：诚然，不是说没有年轻人不帮助他人，事实上我们可以看到很多志愿者组织到处活动，但是很多组织和个人做这些活动出于功利的目的。（承认漏洞+堵漏）
Admittedly, I am not saying that all young people keep themselves away from doing something beneficial for others. In fact, it is not uncommon to find many school volunteer programs that dedicate to assisting people in need. However, quite a few charitable and volunteer activities conducted by young people are out of practical purposes. Some people do it for gaining extra credits while others want to make their resume more attractive by adding those experiences. (75 words)
结尾：重申观点+归纳理由/升华主题
To put it in a nutshell, today’s young peopleare less likely to help others than previous generations because they are born and raised in a different period of time. As a matter of fact, government and society should reflect upon the disadvantages of the economy that is developing too fast.（转载）
