1.22. Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? There is nothing that young people can teach older people. Use specific reasons and examples to support your position.
We've always heard that old people complain about the young people who are going to lose some traditional traits like politeness, perseverance and so on. Based on the negative opinion towards to the young, old people insist that there is nothing that young people can teach them. However, considering the increasing development of the modern world, I hold the contrast view, that nowadays, old people have much to learn from young people.
First and foremost, the advanced technology grows up as a new skill which emerges recently, which means that old people have never seen it before, let alone manipulate the skill. For example, internet technology, which is considered as one of the most noted inventions, leads us to share explosive information and provides numerous platforms like Taobao website with convenient shopping. One day, my farther found that surfing internet could facilitate him to be informed with various news in a short time. Instantly, he became facilitated with that and asked me to teach him how to use the function of bookmark to keep his favorite websites. See, that's the way I teach my parents. Along with the familiar application on collecting website, my father continuously asked me about the chat tools. My point is once the new skill appears, it is always the young people who get sophisticated. As expects in these new fields, they can teach old people.
Additionally, since young and old people grow up in different circumstance, it is certainly that they have learned different knowledge. No one is able to claim that he knows everything in the world even the old people who experience longer times than young people. Take my family as an example, my parents graduated from high school, they didn't know advanced math, concrete chemistry actions, and even English. However, they raised a daughter who attends college and learns much knowledge they don't know. Now in turn, I can teach them anything I learned through my study course. Like right now, I teach them basic English conversations in case that one day they will come to see me abroad.
In sum, the old age can't necessarily indicate owning more knowledge, what the real thing it represents is that old people may hold more experience and they can teach young people by utilizing them. However, there are still numerous things they don't know. Young people is the truly generation who are intensely linked to the modern world, they can teach people the new skills or the knowledge old people didn't have chance to learn before. |
