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.
