166.People recognize a difference between children and adults. What events (experiences or ceremonies) make a person an adult? Use specific reasons and examples to explain your answer.
Common sense tells us that children will finally grow up to become adults. So what makes children and adults different from each other? In my opinion, it is experiences that make a person adult since life is a journey to experience and accumulate everything so that we can serve the society better.
To begin with, an adult attains more academic knowledge than a child does in most aspects. For example, an adult can do the complex calculation when it comes to a grocery owner but a child can not. It is because experiences could enrich our academic knowledge. We understand that lightning precedes thunders because the velocity of light is much higher than the velocity of sound. We experience the gravity of the earth and know Newton’s law of gravity.
In addition, adults are could expect the outcomes of most circumstance since they have experienced a lot of things, either the frustrations or the successes. As a result, this ability enables them to make the right decision in the shortest time when they face some emergencies such as a car accident, the outbreak of heart attack or asthma and so forth. Lacking of this ability, less lives could be saved and more griefs will occur. However, the children are not able to handle these circumstances.
Last but not least, the ways to think and solve the problems are different between children and adults. As we all know, children always think and solve the problems directly. They focus on the problem itself without expecting the following problems after solving the current one. Moreover, they are always dependent on the adults when it comes to the situations which are beyond their abilities. On the contrary, adults think thoroughly before they begin to solve the problem. They will keep balance between the advantages and disadvantages the solution may bring to the issue.
In sum, I regard the experiences as the event to make a person adult. It enriches the academic knowledge, widen the sights and help developing a optimal way of thinking for an adult.
在大家的评论下我发现自己偏题骗得很厉害,似乎被困在一个框框里。刚才重写了一下,希望大家再给我一些意见。谢谢:)可以留下连接,我会去看的,并且留下我的拙见。^^
Children and adults are different both physically and mentally. Physically, children look young, childish, weak while adults look mature and strong. Mentally, children are dependent and can’t make their own decision while adults are independent and could give their own opinions as well as make decisions of their won. In my point of view, I regard independence as the most significant sign to make a person adult.
Before the age of 18 or college life, children rely on their parents and families. Although they may have a part-time job to earn a small amount of money, for example, sending newspapers in the community, they depend on their parents either economically or psychologically. The education tuition is paid by their parents, the spending of their entertainments are covered by their families; they ask for consolation when they are frustrated in school, they go to their parents for advice when face a dilemma.
However, when they reach the age of 18, they are lawful adults. It is time for them to move out of the family and live alone to earn their own life. They may go to hunt for a job to survive or they may further their education in college with the fellowship which will cover all the fees for their life. During this period, they learn how to get along well with others, how to solve the problems in the optimal way, how to make their own decisions and present their own viewpoints. They begin to step into the world of adults.
Then, the college students graduate and get a job to make ends meet. They start to suffer the great pressure of the boss, the society, and even themselves. They create their careers and begin to make their own families. Ultimately, they get married and soon have their own babies. They take the responsibility to take care of the babies and their family as well. They act the role of the first teacher of their babies and witness their first step, first fall, first word, first laughter and so forth. They are the adults in their children’s eyes and they are the adults of the society now.
In conclusion, it is independence which makes children adults. This sign can be moving out from their parents’ and living alone, or it can be getting married and beginning to be parents themselves.
