2019年12月17日雅思大作文真题及范文
Task:Some people think getting old is entirely bad, but
other people do think it’s much better for old people to
live now than in the past. Please show your idea with
explanation, examples and your knowledge.
Sample answer:
It has become a common phenomenon for people in a number
of countries to enjoy an increasing life expectancy. While
some people believe it is horrible just to imagine getting
old , I think the situation has completely changed comparing
to decades ago and now elderly people can lead a happy life.
In some cases, the seniors do experience empty nest
syndrome because their children are away from home. However,
things are different nowadays. There are numerous residential
homes with trained carers in a country and they have become a
perfect place for the elderly to stay after retirement, where
the elderly will not feel lonely and bored with the company
of their peers.
Another concern for numerous senior citizens is the
health problem. In the past, without advanced medical science,
the seniors tend to suffer from various kinds of diseases,
which decrease their quality of life at great extent. By
contrast, the medical science is developing at an amazing
speed and this trend can at least delay the onset of some
chronic conditions and with healthy body, the elderly can
enjoy happier lives. Apart from the two factors discussed above, instead of
feeling useless or frustrated, elderly people can work beyond
the retirement age or devote themselves to somewhere else to
enrich their life. For example, a friend of my grandfather
work as a part time doctor in his local community. In this
way, not only does he make best use of his time, but also
help a number of neighbours.
To sum up, I hold the viewpoint that with the
development of society and care from family members, elderly
people can enjoy a moreisfying and meanfuling life.
