One merit of friends is that they can give us useful advices. By listening to their advices, we can get insightful suggestions which help us avoid a lot of troubles. Some people prefer advices from older friends while others think advices from friends of their own age are more suitable for themselves. For my perspective, I think advices form older friends will be more helpful. (The question is asking whether you AGREE with a statement, so you should answer that question by saying you agree with the statement. It's important to state your point AND answer the question.)
One important advantage I want to demonstrate is that older friends have more experiences than people from of the same age (Here you'are assuming the 'same' age means a younger age, which is not necessarily true, because you didn't establish what to 'same' with. You have to qualify your statement carefully - see how the question qualifies this by using 'friends at YOUR age'.). Thus, when facing the same issue, older friends tend to make more deliberate suggestions. For instance, for the same question about planning for the future after graduation, people older than us always suggest us to consider financial requirements before personal interests (Definitely not true.), while friends from of our age always provide their opinions by saying "do whatever you are interested in" (Definitely not true either. You're being too narrow on your statements with 'always'.). The truth is, since someone is becoming financially? independent (This 'since' is ambiguous - it could either mean 'because' or 'from the point of time that...'.), interests cannot satisfy all his needs. If many people had consulted their older friends' suggestion (You 'consult' a person but 'consult for' an opinion.), they would not have regreted about their former decision which does not consider financial needs at first stage. Hence we can see that older friend's suggestions are normally one step further, because they are based on their own experience , which will reduce the possibility of getting into troubles. (You're being very vague about what the 'troubles' you keep mentioning about really are in this example. I can guess that you mean 'financial difficulties', but don't make your examiners do the guessing because they won't.)
In addition, advices from older friends are more reliable because they know the world better than we do (Sounds like the same point as your first.). When young people dealing with things, they always rely on their intuition or passion, which has been proved that for the most of the time they are not good enough. When we have some conflicts with someone else, friends from of the same age will make suggestions like "ignore him" or "curse him", while people from of older age will suggest us to be patient and trying to get along well with the person, because they know it profoundly that maybe in the future there might have be some cases in which we need to ask for help from the person we once had conflicts with.(Very long and wordy. A simple 'they know that in the future we may need to seek help from the person we once had conflicts with' will do. Use direct verb sentences instead of 'there be'.) Things like these are common in people’s lives which and (If you use 'which', you're referring to 'lives', not 'things'.) people identify them as “social principles”. Friends from of older age are already involved in the society who and (Again, if you use 'who', it has to follow the entity - friends - it's referring to. Adjective clauses shouldn't be too far away from the subject.) knows these rules better than we do. Suggestions from them are based on their perspectives toward society, which will help us to be more successful in involving in the society. (This point is dangeriously similar to your first point because both of them mention decisions that will affect 'future' dealings and you didnt' make a very obvious effort to differentiate the two.)
In general, I believe more suggestions should be consulted sought from older friends, because they have more social experience and are more sophisticated than people have of the same age with us. (The keyword in the question is 'valuable' advices, not 'amount' of advices. Therefore your 'more suggestions' really doesn't answer any part of the question. This is what I mean when I say you should keep asking yourself 'Which part of the question did I answer with that point'.)
总结:
语法上请注意词汇的用法尚有少许不地道之处,还有单复数和介词的使用。论述上主要是论点之间的区别不是很明显,另外开头结尾的写法请小心,要注意你必须正面回答问题问的东西,不要打疑似擦边球。
感觉比前两次的要好很多,如果俺给分的话可能3.5/5吧,不过俺的要求一向比较严格,看看就好,作不得数。
