IELTS ESSAYS AND LETTERS / 67
Over the past 50 years, young people have gained status and power, but
old people have lost. What is the cause, and is it a good development or
bad development.
The knowledge-based society witnessed great changes over the past
decades. Many young people have taken the place of the old ones and
gained political and financial power in the world. Bill Gates, the director of
Microsoft, Tony Blaire, the ex-Prime Minister of Britain and Obama, the
President of the USA give us vivid illustration. From my point of view, the
trend is natural and inevitable.
Young people are energetic and vigorous. Most of them have received
formal education in universities, where they acquired abundant knowledge
and experience, which are quite essential to their future career. Compared
with young people, old people's knowledge is out-dated, which does not fit
in with the development of the current societies. Old people react more
slowly than young people, who can always make quick judgment and
prompt decisions. Furthermore, young people are more open-minded than
old people who have a tendency of conservation. Therefore, young people
can adapt themselves to the changeable world more easily.
Obviously, this trend brings about both advantages and disadvantages. On
the one hand, young leaders and powers can inject vigor and new hopes to
the world, which not only benefits the development of global economy, but
also establishes multi-lateral relation among the countries in the world. On
the other hand, young people still lack adequate experience and skills to deal
with sophisticated national problems and international relations. As a result,
many young leaders in the world are often criticized for lack of tactics by
old people. Some young people are very radical when faced with trouble.
They still have a lot of things to learn.
Generally, old people should offer young guys opportunities to practice their
abilities and talents. At the same time, young people should learn from old
ones modestly and make themselves more admirable.
