雅思大作文思路解析：

幸福为什么难以定义：幸福是一种非常个人化的心理状态，很主观。举例，有的人考不到第一名就不开心，而有的人能考试及格就乐不思蜀了。同样的，年轻人感觉刺激能带来快感，而老年人则认为安静才是开心。

怎样获取幸福：1，基本的生活条件需要具备，如足够的食物，稳定的工作，有地方住。2，需要和家庭和朋友有交心，这样就能消除精神压力。3，需要有信心和一个积极的态度来面对生活中的挑战，相信一切都会好起来。

雅思大作文参考范文：

Nowadays, under a fast-paced society filled with fierce job competition and stress, people are more willing to figure out the root of happiness. In my views, the standards of deciding whether a person is happy or not are multi-dimensional, and my recognition about happiness will be presented as below.

A variety of psychological, religious and philosophical approaches have strained to define happiness and its sources because of the diversity of this feeling in different people. Happiness actually is a mental or spiritual feeling. The mentality of human is very complex because it varies from person to person. For example, some people are happy if they top the exams, or some may be happy to just pass them. Similarly, some people derive a sense of satisfaction from earning money or achieving success, whereas for others, health and family are much more important. Moreover, something or a course of action can be a cause of happiness for one person but this may bring sorrows for other person. For instance, teenagers can be exhilarated by receiving emotional excitement. In eyes of old generations, however, such happiness might turn into the painfulness, because what can please them is the feelings of peacefulness and quietness.

There are many factors that contribute to happiness. Firstly, the material security, or basic survival needs including job, food, housing and health care, is the precondition to achieve it. Obviously, it is hard for a person to be happy if he or she is homeless, jobless hungry or ill. Secondly, the greatest joy in life is usually found in shared experiences with family and friends, and it is rare to find a person who is content to live in complete isolation. Last but not the least, person should be cheerful and optimistic. Generally speaking, ups and downs, difficulties and challenges in life are inevitable for any individual, no matter how smart or wealthy he or she is. That is to say, in order to pursue the true happiness, people should hold self-confidence and active attitudes towards those troubles and worries, by which people can be less vulnerable to depression, anxiety and frustration.

In conclusion, happiness is difficult to define because it is particular to each individual, but I believe that our basic needs for shelter, food, company and positive mind need to be fulfilled before we can experience it.
