【解答例】

　I don’t agree with the opinion that a high salary should be the most important thing when searching for a job.　Of course, it is true that a high salary is one of the most important factors when deciding which job to get, but there are some more important factors than that.　

　First, workplace environment should be regarded as more important than a high salary.　That is because even if you get a high salary, bad workplace environment prevents you from keep working on that job.　

　Second, you should take social responsibility into consideration when you choose a job.　It is very important to think carefully whether the job you are going to take is useful to your society or not before taking it.　

　Therefore, I think you would end up feeling disappointed if you placed a high salary above any other factors.　(143 words)

　When it comes to searching for a job, a high salary should be the top priority.　It offers many benefits, including better career opportunities and an improved quality of life.

　First, a high salary opens up career opportunities.　High wages are considered prestigious, and people with them are more likely to receive good job offers in the future when job hunting.　Additionally, receiving such offers can make it easier to negotiate a promotion within one’s current company.

　Second, getting a high-paying job helps improve people’s personal lives.　Many of the things that people desire in life, such as nice housing and financial security, can be attained with lots of money.　Having a high salary would, therefore, raise one’s quality of life substantially.

　In conclusion, a high salary should be the focus when searching for a job, as it provides better chances for career advancement and an enhanced quality of life. (150 words)
