2014年7月12日 (社会话题）年轻人是否适合政府岗位

题目：Some people think young people are not suitable for important positions in the government，while other people think it is a good idea for young people to take on these positions. Discuss both views and give your own opinion.

There is a debate about whether young generation is qualified for important positions in the government. In this essay, I will discuss the viewpoints of both supporters and opponents and give my own opinion.

It is generally believed that young people are immature and inexperienced. They tend to make decisions without enough consideration, which may lead to serious consequences if they are in charge of important department of the government. Many young people are spoilt by their parents in their childhood and adolescence. This young generation is less considerate and responsiblethan their parents and grandparents. As government positions concern the welfare of citizens and require serious commitment, young people seem to be unsuitable for these positions.

On the other hand, some people argue that young people should be given more opportunities to do government work. They have more energy and enthusiasm for their jobs than the older generation. What is more important is that young people are receptive to new ideas and technology. They are expected to bring innovative style to the government work, which is considered as rigid and conservative. For example, in some cities, young officials of the government use online social networking to interact with local residents and enhance the ties of the government and the public.

In my view, young people should be encouraged to take more responsibilities for government work. This is a good way to change the stereotype (老套的，一成不变的)of the government and improve its service. Considering their lack of experience, job training may be needed before people take on their positions. They are likely to make mistakes, but this is how they grow and become competent for their jobs.

反对方的理由：年轻人不成熟（immature），缺乏经验（inexperienced），还可以写年轻一代被父母宠爱，变得不够周到（inconsiderate）和不负责任

（irresponsible），这些都是教育话题里面反复使用的素材和词汇。最后提到政府的工作关系到人们的福利，需要认真的承诺（concern the welfare of citizens and require serious commitment），所以年轻人不适合

支持方的写法：年轻人有活力，有热情（have energy and enthusiasm），易于接受新思想和新技术（are receptive to new ideas and new technology）。他们善于创新（innovative）能够改变政府的刻板和保守（rigid and conservative）。用到了一个举例论证，比如一些年轻的政府官员使用社交网和民众交流，增进政府和人民的关系，这样就用到科技话题里面的一些例子了。

结论段，仍然是折中式的写法，支持年轻人做政府的工作，但是需要给他们一些job training，允许他们犯错误，并且在错误中成长

2013年11月16日雅思写作范文 语言减少的利弊

题目：Across the world today, the use of many languages has

been declining. Only a few languages have been increasingly used. Is this a positive or negative development?

It is reported that every year several languages die out and only a few languages are expected to become dominant across the world in the future. This essay will discuss the benefits and drawbacks of this trend.

Undoubtedly, with the decreasing number of languages, communications between nations would become easier, which would promote the development of various sectors, such as tourism, trade, education, etc. Language barriers have long impeded international exchange and cooperation, causing a lot of inconveniences and frustrations. If people from different countries use the same language, they do not need to worry about communication problem when travelling, studying and doing

business in another country. Another advantage of popularizing some universal languages is enormous. In many cases, incorrect translation leads to misunderstanding and embarrassment. With fewer languages spoken, these problems can be effectively solved.

On the other hand, the extinction of languages also causes wide concerns. As language is the carrier of culture, the disappearance of the language spoken by a community often means the loss of some forms of culture, including songs, literature and local traditions.For example, among some minority groups in China, people do not want to learn their local languages. As a result, the younger generations know little about the history and customs of their communities. Their lives are not different from those who live in big cities. This is a pity, as culture diversity is regarded as valuable assets of human beings.

Overall, it is true that fewer languages would make life easier. However, from the perspective of preserving cultures, we should make an effort to save some languages from dying out.

这个题大家可能觉得也不是很难，因为语言减少带来了方便、效率，能够促进国际交流、商务、旅游的发展，减少误解。还有一个，能够减少翻译费用，全世界每年由于语言不通而花费在翻译上的费用也是惊人的。

弊端怎么写？语言减少会导致少数民族文化的消失，这一点估计大家都想到了，但是写来写去好像也就那么几个词。这时候你可以举例子。比如大家去外地旅游，发现每个地方都一样。问问那些少数民族地区的年轻人，很多都已经不会说当地的语言。这无疑是文化的损失。

其实语言学习是很功利的，你为什么学英语，而不去学拉丁语、希腊语，不去学满文、蒙古文？所以文章结尾我们还是号召政府采取行动吧。。。

健康类

2014年7月19日

Some people think that the government has the duty to ensure that

its citizens have a healthy diet, while others believe this is individuals' responsibility. Discuss both views and give your opinion.

从政府角度来说，确保人们吃得健康可以增强人们的身体素质和减少社会的医疗成本（enhance people’s physical quality and reduce the medical cost of the society）。我举了两个例子，一个是刚才讲的肥胖税，还一个就是学校的营养餐（nutritional food），这些都可以看作是政府干预的例子。对于这样一个题目，不举例是不好写的。

另一方面，人们的饮食习惯（eating habit）其实是很难被政府改变的。又是大量的举例论证：比如有些人买垃圾食品主要是因为工作太忙，没时间做饭，所以政府的措施可能是无效的（futile）。如果政府强制实施某些法律法规（enforce some laws and regulations），那么人们可能会抱怨政府干涉了他们的生活（interfere in their lives）。

结论段，其实吃什么还是由每个人自己决定的，只不过政府应该采取一些措施去提倡健康饮食。比如做一些公益广告（public service advertisements），提高人们的意识（raise the awareness of the importance of healthy eating）。这些都是雅思写作里常用的一些素材和词汇。

Overweight had become a widespread problem in many countries and

whether the government has the obligation to improve people’s dietary habit is a controversial issue.

Eating is the most important part of people’s daily lives and it is directly related to their health. Unhealthy eating may lead to a series of health problems such as obesity, diabetes ([?da???bi:ti:z]), etc.. As the administrator of the society, the government should take actions to promote the healthy diet. This would enhance people’s physical quality and reduce the medical cost of the society. For instance, some countries levy ‘fat tax’ to discourage people from eating food with high oil and calories. Another example is some programs of providing nutritional food for student, which are funded by the government.

However, some people argue that health is an issue of individuals and the government’s effort is futile ([?fju:ta?l]) and unjustified. People have their own lifestyles and these would not be easily changed by the government’s campaigns. For example, some people choose to eat junk food because they are too busy with their work and have no time to cook. If the government enforces some laws or regulations to promote the healthy diet, people may complain that the government is interfereing in their lives.

In my opinion, what to eat is a personal choice and it is decided by the individual rather than the government. However, government’s measures are needed to promote healthy eating. A good way is for the government to produce some public service advisements to raise people’s awareness of the importance of healthy eating.

2013年2月2日题目：Some people think watching TV is bad for children, while others think that watching TV has more beneficial effects on children. Discuss both views and give your own opinion.

Watching TV is a common way for many people to spend their leisure time. However, there is a debate about whether children should be allowed to watch TV or not.

Those who advocate watching TV may give reasons as follow. To begin with, children can broaden their horizons by watching various programs, particularly those informative and educational ones. They can view the magnificentscenery of grassland of Africa and explore the mysterious outer space on the screen. It is an effective and affordable way to know the nature and the world. Moreover, watching TV is beneficial for children’s relief of the stress arising from study. When they get tired of the complicated formulas and equations( [??kwe??n]), they can take a break by watching interesting TV programs.

On the other hand, there are many people who are opposed to children’s watching TV, arguing that it has many negative effects. The first one is that children tend get addicted to TV plays, which waste their precious time and distract them from study. Another drawback comes from some programs containing violence elements. As children lack self control and have difficulty in judging what is right and wrong, they are likely to imitate those heroes in the programs and display some improper behavior. For example, some children learn to smoke and drink after they watch action programs.

In my point of view, TV is a double-edged sword for children. It is not wise to ban them from watching TV, which is an important source of information for them. Meanwhile, teachers and parents should play an active role in this aspect, such as controlling the amount of time and giving them guidance in selecting suitable programs.

2014年6月7日（犯罪类话题）

题目：Some people believe that if the police force carries

guns, it would encourage a higher level of violence in the society. To what extent do you agree or disagree？

2014-06-07警察带枪会增加暴力犯罪是否同意（犯罪话题）

In some countries, policemen can carry guns when patrolling on thestreet, but in some other countries, this is not allowed. Whether the police should be armed has long been a controversial issue.

On the other hand, there is no doubt that armed police would have a deterrent ([d??ter?nt]制止的) effect on those who intend to commit crimes. Guns are powerful weapons in cracking down on crimes. When confronted with ruthless criminals, guns enable the policemen to better protect civilians and defend themselves. For example, in many large cities of China, policemen are required to carry guns to patrol on places

with defense crowds. This has proved to be effective in curbing violent crimes.

On the other hand, the police armed with weapons may have a negative impact on public security. The first concern is the abuse of weapons and the loopholes of gun control. If the policemen are encouraged to use guns, it is possible that they may become reckless and misuse their guns. Every year, we hear news that innocentcitizens are shot by the police by mistake. Moreover, in some countries where people can possess guns according the law, armed police may reinforce their gunculture. The gunfight between the police and criminals would become common on the street and people would lack the sense of security.

All in all, it is difficult to judge whether it is right or wrong for policemen to carry guns in their routine task. This depends on the specific situation of a city or a country. The best way is to take comprehensive measures to improve the public security and using guns is just an optionwhen necessary.

如果要在40分钟之内写完一个不太熟悉的话题，我们应该尽量利用课上讲过的一些核心词汇。按照写作的惯例，可以从两方面来分析。一方面，警察带枪的好处是震慑潜在的犯罪分子（have a deterrent effect on those who intend to commit crimes），打击犯罪（crack down on crimes），保护人民也保护自己（protect civilians and defend themselves），然后我举了个中国的例子，为了打击恐怖分子，咱们的大城市现在都派了武装警察巡逻（armed police patrols on the street），尤其是在人群密集的地方（in places with dense crowds）。好像现在

还有一个词叫反恐大妈，大妈当志愿者，在小区里防范恐怖分子，当然这个和警察带枪没有什么联系了，大妈戴的都是红袖标。

另一方面，警察带枪也会有一些负面影响。首先是枪支的滥用和管理的漏洞（the abuse of weapons and the loopholes of gun control）。警察容易玩枪走火的，所以我们国家对于警察拿枪也管理得非常严格。在国外，经常会有无辜群众被警察误伤的（innocent citizens are shot by the police by mistake）。有一次是在2005年，伦敦地铁爆炸案之后，伦敦草木皆兵，导致一名赶地铁的巴西工人被警察当成恐怖分子击毙了。还有，去了美国之后，如果警察让你站住，一定不要乱跑，否则他们真的会开枪的。回到题目，还有一个弊端写的是在某些允许持枪的国家（in some countries where people can possess guns according to the law），如果警察也带枪，罪犯也带枪，老百姓也带枪，那就热闹了，你说是不是？所以在警察带枪的城市，人们往往不是觉得更安全，反而会缺乏安全感的（people would lack the sense of security）。

2014年5月15日雅思写作范文（工作类）

题目：Employers should give its staff at least four weeks of

holidays a year to make employees do better in their jobs. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

2014-05-15 员工是否应该每年享受4周休假（工作话题）

The lengths of annual holidays vary in different companies and different countries. Some people think that all employees are entitled to have at least 4 weeks of holidays every year. I believe this practice would enhance the satisfaction of employees and promote the long-term development of the company.

Most employees would welcome the four-week long vacation, which means they would have more time to travel and stay with their family members. It is common for people to suffer from high stress in their work

and taking more time off is an effective way to relieve this pressure. Those busy parents can take this vacation together with their children, which would increase their communication and enhance family cohesion. Some employees may take advantage of the holidays to attend training courses and improve their professional skills.

From the perspective of the company, some people may argue that long vacation would increase the labor cost and affect the normal operation. However, once the employees’ welfare is improved, they are expected to have more motivationto serve the company better. The company may need to hire more people and spend more money on human resources, but it will be rewarded in the long term if employees are happy with how they are treated in the company.

To summarize, I believe that 4-week holidays would be popular with people in workplaces as this policy can improve the quality of their lives and motivate them to make more contribution to the company. Therefore, it is also beneficial for the company’s long-term development.

休假的好处是什么？就是不用上班。休多长的假期最合适？当然是越多越好。这也许是所有人的想法。各个国家的休假规定都不一样，据说最长的是巴西，每年休假天数能够达到40天以上，包括年假和法定假。在这方面，我们严重地落后于世界平均水平。中国每年的法定假一共11天，也就是五一国庆春节等等，看看那几天举国欢腾的气氛，就知道我们有多么缺乏带薪假期了。

这个题目出得有点太技术性了，是否应该休4周的假期？这个是不算法定节日和周末的。

这个长度应该不短了。其实就是问你，给员工多放点假好不好？如果从个人角度来说，那当然是相当好了，包括放松身心、缓解压力、多陪家人、增强家庭凝聚力，还有参加培训班给自己充电等等。（have more time to travel，spend more time with their families，relieve pressure，enhance family cohesion，attend training courses）

光这一个好处估计字数会不够，所以写到了对于公司的长远发展也有好处（long-term development）。文章第三段主要使用的是让步反驳的论证方法。有人认为多休假会增加用人成本（increase labor cost，spend more money on human resources）、影响正常运营（affect normal operation），反驳的理由是员工的福利改善之后（improve their welfare），他们的满意度提高了（enhance their satisfaction），他们会更加积极主动地为公司服务（have more motivation to serve the company better）。在雅思的作文里，我们总是把人想得非常善良和美好

2014年5月10日雅思写作范文（两性平等话题）

题目：In many countries today, both men and women need to work full time. Therefore, some people think men and women should share household tasks equally (e g. cleaning and looking after children). To what extent do you agree or disagree?

2014-05-10男女是否应该平摊家务（两性平等话题）

It is common these days for women in many countries to engage in full-time jobs, but it seems they still need to be responsible for most of housework at home. Some people consider it unfair and believe the household tasks should be shared equally by men and women. This argument may be true.

For many full-time female employees, household chores（[t??:(r)] 家常杂物） take up most of their spare time and sometimes affect their work, which put them in a disadvantageous position in the workplace. This problem could be solved if men can get more involved in housework at home, giving more time to women to pursue their careers.

Moreover, by taking care of children, men can bring new perspectives and approaches to children’s education. Traditionally, it is the duty of women to attend children because mother is thought to be gentle and considerate. But children may have deficiency in their personalities if they lack love and care from their father. Raising a child requires the effort of both father and mother. For instance, if a father spends more time with his children, he can teach them some important qualities such as courage and determination.

However, it is difficult to quantify the housework that husband and wife should undertake. Men and women have different strengths and families vary in terms of their situations. We should encourage men to take more responsibilities for household tasks, but it does not mean that housework should be split in half and assigned to husband and wife alike.

Overall, to promote gender equality and provide better family education

for children, men and women should share housework and shoulder the family’s responsibilities equally.

解析：

我们来分析一下这篇文章的具体写法。总论点：男人应该更多地参与家务，但也不是简单地平分家务。如何论述男人参与家庭事务的合理性？本文列举了两个理由：1.有利于消除就业性别歧视eliminate gender discrimination in the workplace. 女人在找工作时经常处于不利地位，Be in a disadvantageous position，为什么很多公司不愿意招收女员工？因为女员工事情多，主要一点就是被家务所累，洗衣做饭带孩子，容易影响工作。如果全社会都形成男女分摊家务的良好风气，那么一定能够促进工作中的男女平等promote gender equality ；2. 男人做家务有利于孩子教育。这里的家务指的是照顾孩子这件事。传统观点认为带孩子理所当然是妈妈的责任，因为她们温柔体贴gender and considerate，但是研究表明并非这么简单。如果孩子缺乏父爱，可能会导致性格缺陷lead to deficiency in their personalities。如果父亲多陪孩子，能够教会孩子一些重要的品格teach them some important qualities such as courage and determination，想想电视和电影里的那些 “爸爸去哪了”，你就知道爸爸的教育对于孩子有多么不可或缺了。

本文的让步段写的是不必男女平摊家务。我们鼓励男人做家务，主要是希望男人承担起更多家庭的事务，但并一定要平均分摊。每个家庭情况不同，也许有的女人就愿意老公什么都不干呢，或者反过来，有的老公就愿意把家务活全包了呢。所以没有必要把家务平均分配be split in half and assigned to husband and wife alike。

2011年9月15日雅思写作范文（教育类和广告类的结合）

题目： Nowadays a large amount of advertising is aimed at children. Some people think this can have negative effects on children and should be banned. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

Whether we like it or not, advertising has penetrated into every aspect of our lives and brought about advantages as well as disadvantages. Among all these sales promotion activities, the advertising directed at children is

widely criticized.

The detrimental ([?detr??mentl]有害的) impacts of advertising on children are obvious. To begin with, children are curious about the world, without the ability to make the right judgment of what they see or hear. Advertisements are elaborately （[?'l?b?r?tl?]） designed with attractive pictures, appealing sound effect or children’s favorite stars, making it hard for them to resist the temptation. As a result, they are distracted from their study and keep pestering（[?pest?r?? 纠缠）their parents to buy the products for them. What is worse is that some of these products are harmful to children’s physical and psychological health. For instance, snacks （[sn?k]） such as fried chicken and ice cream contain high sugar and fat, leading to obesity among young people. Another example is that children get addicted to computer games after they watch the exciting advertisement.

However, advertisements aimed at children also provide useful information for parents, helping them to make wise decisions when choosing goods for their sons and daughters. Some of children’s products such as healthcare food and intelligence games have proved beneficial for children’s growth. Without advertisements these products cannot be known by their target customers. Therefore, it is not advisable to ban all

advertising of children’s products.

In conclusion, advertising should be forbidden in places such as schools, kindergartens and amusement parks, for the purpose of reducing the negative influence on children. When it is directed at parents who are able to analyze the information and make judgment on their own, advertising should be allowed.

2014年4月5日(工作生活类）

题目：People nowadays change careers and places of residence very often. Is it a positive or negative development?

2014—4-05变换工作和居所的利弊（工作生活类话题）

Due to the change of people’s conceptions and the social environment, movement of people between jobs and areas has become increasingly common. This trend has a number of benefits as well as drawbacks.

Those who often change dwelling places have a tendency to pursue new things in life and the change of environment meets their personal needs. They can gain experience of living in a different city, meeting new people and trying new lifestyles. Besides, changing jobs makes it possible for

people to identify what they are really interested in and suitable for. When they find their ideal jobs and decide on their favorite cities, perhaps they will settle down and hold on to their careers. By contrast, some people are confined to a job or a city that they dislike, ending up achieving nothing or feeling depressed throughout their lives.

However, the high mobility may cause negative impacts on individual and the society. The first thing is the cost of starting a new life in an unfamiliar city. The potential risk of unemployment also needs to be considered. A person who changes jobs constantly may be considered to be disloyal or unreliable and this impression does no good to his or her career development. From the perspective of employers, job-hopping should be discouraged because the unstable workforce may affect their normal operation.

Changing jobs and places of residence is a personal choice and it is difficult to say whether this is right or wrong. Mobility offers people more opportunities to understand themselves better and get a clear perspective of life and the world. However, we also need to be prudent（[?pru:dnt]小心的，谨慎的）when making decision for a major change.

对于那些天性不安分的人（have a tendency to pursue new things），换工作和换城市带来的是人生的新体验，满足了他们尝试新事物的需求（new experience和new

lifestyle）。尤其是换工作，能够让人发现自己真正热爱和擅长的工作（be interested in和be suitable for），然后将其作为毕生的职业（lifelong career）。试想一下，一辈子只做过一份工作，而且还不喜欢，没有成就感，你是否会后悔年轻的时候没有多尝试一些不同的工作？

尝试不同的工作和生活在很多年轻人眼中似乎令人向往，但其不利的影响也不可忽视。最大的损失也许是朋友的资源，以及在新城市里重起炉灶的成本（cost of starting a new life）。锅碗瓢盆家居用品总要重新配置一套的，离乡背井举目无亲的感觉总是有些落寞，如果再加上一时找不到工作就更凄凉了。此外，公司一般都不太喜欢经常跳槽的员工，觉得他们不可靠（unreliable），不利于公司的发展。

所以文章的结论段再次表明了观点，此事有利亦有弊。虽然人生变化带来的是机会和体验，但是在决定做出改变时仍然要谨慎（prudent）。

2014年3月15日雅思写作范文(政府投资与公共设施类）

题目：It is important for all towns and cities to have large public outdoor places like squares and parks. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

2014-03-15是否需要建设城市广场和公园

Squares and parks are commonly seen in many towns and cities and some people believe such places are important to urban planning and city life. I agree with this opinion, but we should also consider the actual conditions of the city when we build public places.

To begin with, squares and parks can help to improve the quality of life. For those living and working in concrete （[?k?nkri:t]混凝土的）buildings, taking a walk in the park or

flyingkites on the square are good ways of relaxation. Outdoor activities are beneficial to people ‘s physical and mental health. Many people find city life very stressful and if they have easy access to parks near their residences, they are likely to relieve the stress by visiting the park after busy work.

In addition, public places also beautify the urbanlandscape and improve the environment. Plants and trees grown in the park play an important role in absorbingexhaustfumesemitted by cars. Hence, cities with more parks usually have better air quality. Also, large squares look grand with large open space, attracting local residents and outside tourists. In many cities, the large square has become a landmarkbuilding and major tourist attraction.

However, when city planners build public outdoor places, they should consider the budget and the real need of citizens. These places occupy plenty of land and consume large sums of fund. They would compete with other projects, such as housing, education and healthcare projects, in terms of land and fund. Therefore, the government needs to take various factors into consideration.

In conclusion, squares and parks can be welcome in most cities, but the government should make sure that they are not in conflict with people’s other welfare.

解析：

这个题目和上个月13号的题目有些类似，不过2月13号的那个题目是关于政府是否需要投资艺术项目，而这个题目是建设户外场所，两者的侧重点有些不同。城市广场和公园的好处，大家首先能够想到的应该就是户外活动有益健康，可以联系到现代人的压力大、缺乏体育设施，所以可以去公园散步、去广场放风筝。另外，公园还能够美化环境（beautify the urban landscape），这样就可以联系到空气污染问题（air pollution）。而广场是城市的标志建筑（landmark Building），能够吸引游客（attract tourist），提升城市的形象（enhance the city’s image）。

这个题目的反面就是大家最熟悉的政府资金和预算的问题。因为公共场所建设需要占用土地和消耗预算，所以有人会建议把钱和土地资源投资于教育、医疗等其他方面。最后一段，总结折中一下即可。

2014年3月1日雅思写作范文(生活与健康）

题目：Living in big cities is bad for people’s health. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

2013-03-01 城市生活对健康有害（生活与健康）

Although urbanization is accelerating in many countries and the urban population keeps growing, there is a viewpoint that living in big cities is harmful to people’s health. This is true to some extent considering the environment of large cities and lifestyles of citydwellers.

In recent year, the environment of many cities has become worse, which is largely caused by the growing traffic and humanactivities. The exhaust fumes emitted by cars contain poisonous chemicals that are detrimental to people’s health. There are many reports indicating the link between air pollution and the incidence of respiratorydiseases, or even cancers. In some cities, burning of coal for heating rooms in winter also contributes to air pollution.

Moreover, people living in big cities tend to lead unhealthy lifestyles. For example, they eat fast food frequently because of the fast pace of life, which is not good to their health. They work under high stress to earn more to cover the high living cost, having no time to participatein sports activities. They waste plenty of time in crowded subways and in traffic congestionevery day, which would make them irritated and exhausted. By contrast, those living in the countryside can enjoy fresh air and organicallyproduced food, and they have less stress to deal with in daily

life.

However, we should admit that medical services and facilities are much better in larger cities. People have easier accessto good treatment than those living in remote rural areas. But this does not change the fact that urban living is not as good as countryside lifestyles in terms of helping people stay healthy.

Overall, living in large cities has some potentialrisks to people’s health and to get rid of these risks, we should improve the urban environment and advocate healthy lifestyles.

解析：

关于城市生活对健康的危害，大家可以结合我们讲过的健康类词汇和环境污染类的词汇，包括air pollution，lack of sports activities，eat fast food等方面。相对而言，农村生活意味着fresh air和organic food。据说现在的中国农民都是划出一块地来种自家吃的蔬菜，然后把施了农药化肥的蔬菜水果卖给城里人，所以我们体内的化学元素特别齐全。老外如果知道了这一情况，一定会深信城市生活不利于健康。

除了雾霾（smoggy weather）和食品，城市生活还一个杀手就是工作压力。虽然貌似挣钱比农村多，但是生活成本也很高，而且没有时间搞锻炼，每天加班，以及堵车挤地铁等等各种闹心。现在的城市，尤其是大城市，已经变得不宜居了（unlivable）。

城市对健康比较有好处的也许就是医疗设施和医疗条件了。这一点可以作为本文的让步段。

2012年9月6日雅思写作范文

题目：Some people believe that everyone has the right to receive university education，so the government should make it

free to all people regardless of their financial background. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

2012-09-06 政府帮所有人交学费

In some countries, the university is free for all citizens, while in some other countries people have to pay the tuition fee. Also, people vary in their opinions regarding the mode of the tuition payment.

Some people believe that the government should cover the total expense of university education. As the administrator of a country, the government has the obligation to plan for the long-term development, and to invest in education is crucial for a better future of the nation. The prosperity of a country requires the contribution of numerous talented and competent citizens, which cannot be realized without high quality tertiary education. Moreover, for individuals, to receive education is their basic right that should not be deprived of for economic reasons. As the gap between rich and poor is widening in many countries, many diligent young people would be deniedadmission to universities due to their poor family conditions, causing the most serious inequality.

However, we should not be blind to the downside of government-funded higher education if we consider the actual financial situation in some

countries. As the budget allocated to education is quite limited, most universities are underfunded, leading to the decline of education quality and the brain drain of staff. Even though the government gives priority to education, there is no significant improvement. Therefore, raising fund through other channels is necessary and charging tuition fee is a reasonable choice, given the fund shortage of the governments and universities.

To conclude, it is justified for the government to pay for the education of citizens, but this practice may be not feasible in some cases. Therefore, some flexible means can be introduced to address the problem. For instance, the government can provide interest-free loan for those students who cannot afford to go to university and allow them to pay it off after their graduation.

点评：

这个题目比起前一周的体育比赛的话题，虽然同样是政府投资，但是容易了很多。因为交学费的话题属于热门话题，比如去年8月25号就考了一次。这几年几乎每年必考，甚至一年考两次。

我们仍然把它写成平衡式结构，政府掏钱有好处也有弊端，这些都是写过多次的论据了。支持政府掏学费，有利于教育公平，能够让穷人家孩子上学；但是反对方则认为，这样会增加政府负担，导致学校经费不足，影响教育质量。最后一段把两方的理由进行折中就可以了。

今年反复出现government花钱的话题，这一类题目的写法具有共通性，希望大家能够掌握。

2014年2月15日雅思写作范文

题目：Some people think that success in life comes from hard work and determination, while others think that there are more important factors such as money and appearance. Discuss both views and give your opinion.

2014-02-15成功要素：勤奋努力vs.金钱外貌

Everyone dreams of success, but only some can achieve. There is no clear answer about what are the determining factors of success and people differ vastly in their views.

Perhaps diligence and determination are the two qualities that most people believe are necessary for a person’s success. This is particularly true in academic and specializedareas, which require many years of effort and persistence. To be an expert in a certain field, one has to go through

long-time learning and practice. In this process, failure is unavoidable and there are all kinds of difficulties to be overcome. For example, Edison did more than a thousand experiments before he finally identified the appropriate material that can be used in the bulb. A large number of scientists are famous for their devotion to their work and perseverance when faced with failure.

However, if we turn our eyes to other fields, it seems that money and appearance are more important factors leading to success. Money would give people an advantage when they choose to invest or establish their own business. In a material-oriented society, those who are born in wealthy families may have more opportunities than their peers from ordinary families. As for appearance, we can name a long list of actors and actresses who have earned their fame due to their good appearance rather than their talent. Considering this, it is not surprising that some people tend to associate success with these external factors.

In my opinion, success is determined by multiple factors. Working hard is still the most important element. Even for those who seem to succeed owing to their fortune or appearance, they may have also made great effort, which is not visible to outsiders.

解析：

又是一个典型的抽象话题，也是新出现的题目！这种雅思题目已经接近于高考语文的作文题了。完全考察你的语言能力，以及对于以前考过的题目如何进行融会贯通。

勤奋学习和坚忍不拔是成功的最重要的因素，相信大家谁也不会否定。可以引申到我们比较熟悉的教育、科技和工作话题，我还举了一个爱迪生的例子，虽然这个例子非常俗，但是放在这个题目还是非常恰当的。爱迪生在发明灯泡的时候失败了很多次，咱们从小就听过的励志故事

在这个拼爹拼干爹的年代，如果说金钱外貌能够让人成功，估计也没有人会反对。所以这个题目的另一段写的是金钱和外貌带来的优势，当然还是要举例子，否则这么抽象的题目就不好写了。我举了富人子弟有资金去投资创业，而外貌好的人在演艺圈更容易成名。

结论段稍微折中一下就可以了。不过老徐的结尾延续了以往一贯的正能量：勤奋是成功的根本，即使是那些看似光鲜的富人和明星，他们的背后也许有着外人所不知的一些艰辛。

题目：Towns and cities are attractive places. Some people suggest that the government should spend money putting in more works of art like paintings and statues to make them better to live in. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

2014-02-13政府是否应该投资文化艺术项目

It is the obligation of the government to make our cities and towns more livable for citizens. However, there has long been a debate about

whether the government should invest in art projects since they seem to be less relevant to people’s well-beings.

My view is that art projects play an essential role in beautifying the environment and enriching people’s lives. Art works such as paintings and sculptures, which are of high esthetic value, are pleasingto our eyes. Some of them have even become the cultural identity of the city and attract numerous tourists every year. For city dwellers, appreciating art works in parks or museums is a good way of relaxation. In modern society when people tend to focus on material life, art projects serve as a reminder of artistic pursuit and meet people’s spiritual need. Therefore, it is justified for the government to distribute a certain proportion of its budget for building and maintaining art projects.

On the other hand, some people may argue that the government spending should concentrate on those fields that are more closely linked to people’s basic needs, including education, housing, transport, healthcare, etc. . I do not object to this viewpoint, particularly in those cities which have a tight budget. If the basic public services are not available, people would not appreciate what the government has done to make the city more attractive.

Overall, the government needs to consider various factors when building the city. In my view, if budget permits, a reasonable allocation of expenditure on art projects is conduciveto the city and the citizens.

解析：

关于政府是否应该投资艺术项目或者艺术活动，这个题目近两年考了已经不下3次（详细目录可参见置顶帖中的范文分类）。写法都差不太多。

一方面是写政府为什么要投资艺术，因为艺术作品美化了城市（beautify the environment），满足了人们的精神需求（meet people’s spiritual need），还可以涉及到文化特征（cultural identity），现代人的生活压力和过于关注物质生活（focus on material life），所以政府投资文化艺术是很有必要的事情。

另一方面，有人认为投资艺术项目会浪费政府资源，政府应该把钱投资于教育医疗等公共服务方面，这些当然是必需的，但是不应该否定艺术活动的价值。关键是在文化生活和基本社会服务之间找到一个平衡，合理使用政府的预算。

(题目：Some people believe that the best way to build a happier society is to ensure that there are only small differences between the richest and the poorest members. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

2014-02-01 缩小贫富差距建设幸福社会

It seems that the gap between rich and poor people exists in all societies and there is a belief that reducing this gap can enhance the sense of happiness of all citizens. I think that fair distribution of social wealth is important to building an ideal society, but this issue is not simply keeping the income disparity minimum.

It is true that rich-poor gap is the cause behind many social problems, including moral decline and some crimes. Poor people feel a sense of inferiority and envy, or even resent wealthy people. They are put in a disadvantageous position, having no access to basic rights such as education and healthcare. On the other hand, rich people may not feel genuine happiness as they may lack the sense of security. Narrowing rich-poor gap means the material wealth is distributed more evenly, for

example by taxation policy. As a result, more money would be spent in improving the living conditions of people and providing them with better social services.

However, it is unwise to eliminate the difference between the rich and poor because this practice may hurt the motivation of intelligent and talented people. Fairness is an attractive idea, but it cannot be achieved by simply narrowing income disparity. A certain degree of disparity can motivate people to work harder and purse material wealth, which is considered as the driving force of a society.

Overall, the key to building a happy society is to ensure relative fairness for all social members. The government needs to keep the rich-gap difference at a reasonable level.

解析：

大年初二的雅思作文题目，缩小贫富差距，建设幸福社会。感觉还挺应景的一个题目。这种社会话题稍有点抽象，有点类似于去年9月21号的考题，建设理想社会的重要因素。此外，2010年1月23号也曾经考过关于贫富差距的原因和解决办法。

这个题目仍然可以从两个方面来分析，从正面分析，缩小贫富差距之后，穷人会更快乐，因为他们的生活条件更好，并且不会再仇富（Envy / resent）。富人也可能变得更快乐，因为如果贫富差距大，其实他们活得也不踏实，缺乏安全感（lack the sense of security）。从反面分析，贫富差距太小并不见得是好事情，那样的话也许变成了共同贫穷，就像50年前的中国一样。人们会失去工作的热情和动力，而且对于那些intelligent和talented的人来说并不公平。

所以说，公平是相对的。“均贫富”有利也有弊，所以政府应该采取措施保证合理的

收入差距（reasonable income disparity）。

题目：The best way for the government to solve traffic congestion is to provide free public transport 24 hours a day and 7 days a week. To what extent do you agree or disagree？

2014-01-09政府提供免费公共交通

It is common to hear city dwellers complain about traffic jams, but the effort to solve this problem seems to be futile, as the number of cars keeps growing. Some people suggest that the government should provide free public transport as an incentive for people to give up using private cars. This policy would be effective in reducing the traffic volume, but I am concerned

it may lead to new problems.

The majority of car owners are sensitive to the cost of transport and economic policy is an effective means of affecting their travelling decisions. If the bus and subway are made accessible free of charge, we can expect these people to choose public transport instead of their own cars. As a result, the traffic pressure is bound to be eased.

However, this measure means the government needs to allocate a large proportion of its budget to subsidize the public transport. It also means the spending on other areas, such as education, healthcare and arts projects would decline accordingly. To reduce the financial burden, the government may need to levy higher tax, which is usually unpopular with ordinary people.

Another concern about free transport is whether the old transport system can accommodate the increasing number of passengers. If the existing system is not undated in time, the safety of passengers can not be guaranteed due to the potential breakdown and accidents. Also, free transport may encourage more travelling, whether it is for work or for leisure, and this tendency will increase the consumption of fuel and lead

to waster of transport resources.

In conclusion, free transport is not the best way to tackle the problem of traffic congestion. It may result in the surge of number of travelers using public transport. A more reasonable way is for the government to lower the fare of the bus and subway rather than pay the full cost of travelling.

解析：

免费公共交通听起来很美好，但是一旦实施起来，也许交通很快就瘫痪了。记得广州2010年搞亚运会的时候曾经试行过地铁免费，鼓励大家绿色出行，并且营造全体市民同庆亚运的气氛。结果很快就叫停了这项措施。因为地铁站人满为患，车门都能挤坏，差点出了踩踏事件了。目前好像全国还没有哪个城市让大家免费乘坐公交地铁。在北京，花2元钱可以随便坐地铁，这个福利已经很多年了，但据说今年下半年也要提高价格。免费公共交通这个事，政府伤不起啊！

综上所述，这个题目把免费公共交通说成是解决堵车的最好办法，显然是不合理的。所以本文的观点基本不同意，写了如下两个理由：1. 造成政府和纳税人的负担；2. 乘客人数暴涨，现有交通设施无法承受，容易出事故。本文的让步段写的是：这个办法在一定程度上能够解决交通拥堵问题。免费公交和地铁能够使大多数人放弃私家车，因为大多数人都会考虑出行成本。路上的车少了，自然堵车也少了。

题目：Scientists advise people to lead a healthy lifestyle, but many people still continue with unhealthy activities. What are the reasons and what can we do to change the situation？

2013-12-21不健康生活方式的原因和解决办法e

Healthy lifestyles are advocated by doctors and medical researchers, but many people seem to ignore the expert advice

and continue with unhealthy activities. There are a few reasons that may account for this phenomenon.

The fast pace of life and the change of work patterns are mainly responsible for unhealthy behavior. It is common knowledge that the high content of oil and sugar in fast food may lead to obesity and other health problems. However, this kind of food is still popular among office workers, who are usually too busy to cook by themselves. With the widespread use of computers in workplaces, more and more people spend their days sitting in front of the screen. This sedentary lifestyle, as well as lack of physical exercise, contributes to serious health decline of people living in modern society.

Another possible reason is that once people get addicted to a bad habit, it is difficult for them to give it up, even though they are aware of its harmful effects on health. A good example of this is smoking. Addiction to nicotine is the real cause behind various kinds of excuses for continuing smoking.

Health problems would cause suffering of individuals and increase the medical cost of the society. Therefore, measures should be taken to

interfere in these unhealthy lifestyles. In some cases, laws and regulations can be introduced to change people’s behavior. For example, in many countries, smoking is forbidden in public places and violators would face heavy fines. Also smokers have to pay high tax for buying cigarettes. There measures have proved effective in reducing the number of smokers.

To raise people’s awareness of health, the government should invest in building more public service advertisements.Also, the government should invest in building more parks and stadium to encourage mass sports. If people have easy access to sports facilities, they are more likely to engage in regular exercise.

2013年的最后一次雅思考试，与平时并没有什么异样。“健康”是雅思写作中最常见的话题之一，很多题目都和健康有直接或间接的联系。这个题目和“剑8-4”的题目有点相似，都是分析原因和采取办法的题目，都可以从饮食、运动和生活习惯几个方面来进行分析。那么哪些不健康的活动比较好写呢？具体有以下一些例子：因为工作太忙，所以选择了吃快餐；因为工作中总是使用电脑，所以养成了久坐的生活习惯，并且还缺乏体育锻炼；因为吸烟上瘾，所以明知有害还是会继续。

关于这些问题的解决办法，可以写一些政府经常采取的措施。比如说，强制性的办法，公共场所禁止吸烟，违者罚款，以及收取香烟税。还有鼓励性的办法，比如做一些公益广告，提高公众的健康意识；还有投资修建体育设施，让群众有地方参加体育锻炼。其实这些办法都是政府话题里面常用的一些素材，写起来应该不是很难。

题目：Young people are leaving their homes from rural areas to study or work in the cities. What do you think are the reasons? Do advantages of this development outweigh its disadvantages?

2013-12-14年轻人从农村迁往城市的原因和利弊

In the past few decades, massive migration from rural areas to cities happened in many parts of the world. Most of migrant people are young generation, who are attracted by education and job opportunities in cities. Some of them move because they are enrolled by universities and some hope to find well-paid jobs in cities. As the gap between rural and urban areas is widening, this trend is expected to continue.

The large number of people moving to cities helps to boost the local economy. For instance, in many coaster cities of China, the boom of manufacturing industry has benefited largely from the inexpensive labor force and most of these workers come from the countryside. For these young migrant workers, they are happy to leave the rural areas because the wage in factories is much higher than the income of working in the farmland.

However, young people moving to cities also lead to a series of problem. Some of them have difficulty in getting integrated into the new environment, particularly when they are treated unequally in their

schools and workplaces. It is true in many countries that migrant workers from the countryside do not enjoy the equal rights as city dwellers. Also, these new settlers often worry about the health of their elderly parents, who are usually left in their hometowns. This separation would inevitably weaken the tie of family members. From the perspective of city planning, the rapid increase of the population causes heavy pressure on basic facilities. The best example of this is the traffic congestion and air pollution, which makes the quality of city life worse rather than better.

Overall, moving from the countryside to the city means more opportunities for young people and their arrival can accelerate the development of the city. Nevertheless, the negative effects of this trend should also be noted and measures need to be taken to solve the consequent problems.

题目：In many countries people can buy a wide range of household goods (for example, TV, microwave ovens, and rice cookers）. Is it a positive or negative development?

2013-12-12家用电器消费的利弊

The increasing living standard makes it possible for people to afford various consumer goods such as TV, microwave ovens, etc.. When we enjoy the benefits brought by modern technology, there is a wide concern about the large consumption of these products.

There is no denying that home appliances offer more comfort and convenience for people living in modern society. Watching TV is an indispensable part of our leisure activities, providing us with informative and amusing programs. Electronic appliances in the kitchen make cooking more efficient and enjoyable. Also, the rise in consumption has follow-on effects on manufacturing industry, generating more tax revenue and creating more jobs. This is why sometimes the government would make policies to stimulate spending.

However, the large consumption is criticized by many people, particularly environmentalists. The production of these goods and the use of electricity consume a huge quantity of fuels and resources. What is worse is the disposal of the waste products. Every year, as the manufacturers keep launching new products and consumers replace their home appliances constantly, tons

of electric waste products need to be dealt with, which has put high pressure on the deteriorating environment. Another objection to the excessive consumption comes from some educators, who are concerned that large spending on consumer products may have an adverse effect on the younger generation. Comfort and convenience would probably make them take everything for granted and compete over materials life. A good example of this is the widespread squander among young people.

Overall, it is a positive trend that people are able to afford a wide range of electric products, which indicates the improvement of our living conditions. However, the negative impacts on the environment and on people’s conception should also be noted.

解析：

关于消费的话题，和经济、生活、环境相关。与此题高度相关联的近期题目包括2012年12月6号，“浪费型社会的原因和后果”，2013年6月8号，“政府鼓励公众消费”。其他一些题目比如购买名牌产品、保护环境等话题里面的素材也可以用到今天这个题目中。

家用电器的最大好处就是带来了方便和舒适，可以用具体的例子来说明，比如题目中给出的电视、微波炉等等。此外，购买消费品还能带来制造业的繁荣（见2013年6月8号题目），增加税收和创造就业。

弊端主要还是环境方面的，包括耗电、耗费原材料，这些大家应该都是轻车熟路的词汇。最后还一个就是对于人们的观念的影响，比如年轻人会变得浪费，比如很多人不断换手机，在物质生活上攀比。其实这样写起来就可以把刚刚考过的11月30号的买名牌产品的题目写过来了。

如果你考前把各类常规话题的素材都看一看，练一练，通常是可以应付各种新题目的。

题目：In some countries around the world men and women are having babies late in life. What

are the reasons? Is it a positive or negative development?

解析：

雅思写作竟然考到了生孩子早晚的问题，这个题目似乎有点出人意料，但其实早在2012年的12月8号就曾经考过。我这里把这篇文章重新发出来，并且作了一些修改。里面有很多和家庭生活有关的词汇表达，对于大家今后写这类题目会有帮助。

这种题目看似生活化，但其实并不好写。如何有手头已有的素材来解决这种题目呢？关于晚育的原因，我们可以谈谈城市生活的成本高、压力大的问题，这个比较好写，也是大家容易想到的。此外，birth rate下降也是以前多次写过的内容，可以作为生孩子推迟的原因之一。

晚育的好处是什么呢？我的想法和咱们国家的基本国策一致，能够控制人口数量。此外对于个人而言，晚育能够为生孩子创造比较好的经济条件，能够利用年轻的时候多读书多工作。而晚育的弊端，我提到了最近几年常考到的人口老龄化，以及晚育会增加孕妇的风险。

这样的一个题目，对于绝大多数没有生过孩子的烤鸭们来说，真的难为大家了。

2015-05-21晚育的原因和影响（生活话题）

In many countries, people tend to have babies at a much older age, compared with the generations of their parents and grandparents. I believe the economic status and modern lifestyles are responsible for this.

Due to the development of the society, the cost of raising a child has increased significantly. Young people, particularly those living in big cities, often suffer from high pressure in finance. Considering this, they constantly postpone their plans of having babies till they believe they are financially prepared.Another factor worth mentioning is the decline of birth rate, which means families do not have as many children as two decades ago. Therefore, it is easy to understand why most couples do not give birth to children at an early age.

For some countries like China, for example, this trend leads to the

decreases of total population and eases the pressure on the environment and public resources. Hence, it is encouraged by the Chinese government. For young people themselves, they have more time to pursue their academic degrees and take more challenges at work in their young adulthood, without distraction form household chores. When they decide to have babies, they would be in a better financial situation.

However, having babies late in life may cause problems to the society and individuals. In some countries, the expansion of aged population has become a big concern of society and it is getting worse as a result of young people’s unwillingness to have babies. In addition, as the age of pregnancy increases, the risk of delivering babies goes up, and this factor should be considered by young people.

To sum up, when to have babies is a personal choice and it is hard to say whether it is right or wrong.

题目：In some countries, more and more adults choose to continue to live with their parents after they graduate and have found jobs. Do the advantages of this trend

outweigh its disadvantages?

解析：

年轻人和父母一起住，这是一个新题，但也是常规话题。2013年曾经考过两次“年轻人单独住的利弊”。

和父母住的好处是什么？其实就是省钱，因为买不起房，所以一起住。无论在国内还是国外，这都是一个最重要的原因。大家一起住还能够省钱，父母给你做饭，好吃还不花钱。（do not need to buy their own house and the living cost can be reduced）此外，父母能够照顾你。刚参加工作的年轻人，工作生活上往往会遇到很多困难（encounter various challenges），再加上经济压力（have financial pressure）。父母可以给你很多的支持。大家住一起而且还能够增加家人之间的感情（strengthen the family bond）。这都是咱们在其他话题里面写过的一些常规素材。

和父母住的弊端是什么？大家最先想到的应该是父母的唠叨，生活习惯的差异，各种不自由和各种烦，对不对？而我在这篇文章中写的弊端是年轻人变得依赖，不利于他们的成长。这个论点咱们在教育话题里面多次写过，所以直接拿来用就可以了。包括父母的宠爱（spoil），孩子缺乏生活技能（lack life skills），离开父母能够变得成熟（mature），适应社会（adapt to the society），承担更多的责任（take more responsibilities）这些素材在教育话题里面应该写得非常熟练了。

2015-4-30年轻人和父母一起住（生活话题）

It is common for young people in many countries to live with their parents after they leave school and find jobs. This pattern is beneficial for family members economically and emotionally, but some problems associated with it should also be noted.

Most of young people choose to live with their parents for economic reasons, as they do not need to buy their own house and the living cost can be reduced. Besides, parents can take care of them, though they have grown up into adults. Young people tend to encounter various challenges and have financial pressure when they first enter the workforce. Living with their parents would give them more support to deal with these problems. This would alsostrengthen the family bond and promote the relationship between parents and children.

However, some people argue that this trend would make young adults overly dependent on their parents. A common problem nowadays is that many children are spoilt by their parents, partly because there are fewer children in a family than in the past. Children who grow up in this kind of environment often lack necessary life skills to live independently. If they continue to live with their parents after graduation, it is not good for their growth. By contrast, living away from parents would help young people become mature and adapt to the society.

My view is that young people should be encouraged to move out of their parents’ house once their financial condition allows them to do so. This is a good way for them to improve their life skills and learn to take more responsibilities. However, living alone does not mean that the bond between family members would become weak, as they can visit each other anytime when they want.

题目：Older people who need employment have to compete with younger people. What

problems does this cause and what are the solutions？

解析：

这个题目看似不难，今年1月10号刚刚考过“年轻人是否胜任领导岗位”，也是一个年轻人和老年人职场竞争的话题。不过今天这个题目有一个很大的坑。题目问的是造成什么后果（what does this cause），不是问的什么原因（what are the causes）。有一些没看清楚题目的同学就掉到这个坑里了。所以说，考试的时候仔细审题是非常重要的。

老人工作在某些地方是很普遍的，特别是亚洲的一些地方，比如韩国、香港，甚至70岁的老人还在开旅游大巴车（真人真事，中国游客下车之后得知司机年龄都吓得不轻）。相比之下，咱们国家的老人过了60岁基本都歇着了，活跃在公园、广场和棋牌室，或者在家看小孩子。估计咱们同学对老人工作这个话题也想得不多，只能从之前的题目当中找一些相关的素材来写了。

老年人需要和年轻人竞争找工作，这对双方都是有不利影响的。老人的体力（physical strength）和创新能力（technological innovation）都比较差一些（in a disadvantageous position），可能找工作会更困难一些（face more challenges）。另外还担心老人的健康问题。而年轻人也有压力，因为老人比他们有经验和责任心（sense of responsibility），所以有些职位他们也竞争不过老年人。总而言之，双方都有就业压力。关于年轻人和老人的优势对比，之前很多题目我们都写过的。

解决办法其实都是老一套了。政府增加养老金（increase the pension and other welfares），如果老人有稳定的收入（stable income）和养老保险（health insurance），谁还愿意一大把年纪了去上班？这里有一个设定退休年龄的问题（set the retirement age），这也是政府需要做的。如果有些老人不想退休，比如老当益壮的（in good shape to continue working），那就让他们继续干好了，所以还需要更多地创造就业（create more jobs），否则年轻人的职位都被老人占了（be occupied by the old people）。这些都是我们经常写的词汇，其实这些措施都是说说而已了。创造就业真要那么容易的话，就没有那么多的失业大学生了。说到底，雅思写作只是一项语言考试，大家把平时用得比较熟练的素材和词汇灵活运用就可以了。

老年人和年轻人竞争工作（社会话题）

In many countries people work till a very old age for some reasons and this may lead to competition between old people and young people in the job market.

Compared with young people, old people are in a disadvantages position in some jobs that are more demandingin terms of physical strength and technological innovation. This means old people would face more challenges for getting such jobs and more pressure at their work. Under this circumstance, health is another issue that needs to be considered. On the other hand, with more old people joining the workforce, the employment situation would become severe for theyounger generation in some sector. In some positions thatrequire more experience and sense of responsibility, young people, particularly those who have just graduated from university, may find out that old people have occupies these jobs.

To address these problems, the government has an important role to play. Setting a reasonable retirement age would reduce the number of old people in the workplace, but the more important thing is to increase the pension and other welfares for the elderly citizens. If they have a stable income and satisfactory health insurance, I believe most of them would rather stay at home and look after their families.

For some old people who are in good shape to continue working after the retirement age, the government and the company should put them in suitable positions and allow them to serve the society. This may
