In some cultures, it is believed that the old age should be valued, while in some cultures, youth is more valued. Discuss both the views and give your opinion.

　　本题关键点：

　　劳烦各位烤鸭们仔细读题和充分理解题目的立意。

　　题目说的old age和youth指的是人生阶段(年长、年青)。

　　当然可以具体到人群，但是不要简单粗暴地就直接写成人群的特点哟。

　　教师习作

　　Introduction

　　Some cultures value maturity and believe that the older are the wiser. Other cultures value youth, when an individual has plenty of vitality, creativity andaspirations. It may be unfair to depreciate maturity, it is more reasonable put more hope in youth.

　　Body

　　Para. 1(内容—TR—是学习重点):

　　Youth governs (“支配”) maturity, in terms of an individual’s character, worldview, values, aesthetics and many other views. In other words, when a view of something forms in an individual’s youth, it may become stubborn (“顽固的”) or only change to a moderate degree. This is why youth is known as a person’s formative (“养成的”) years. Maturity or the old age is therefore less important. The decades of one’s adulthood may therefore be a time when the person develops or degenerates (“退化”) on the already established values and views; however, either way, the character is already formed.

　　Para. 2:

　　另一个方面就可以具体到人群(青少年 vs 中老年人)咯，这个理由就是大家通常的想法，正常写就好了。

　　Conclusion

　　In some cultures, maturity or the old age is valued. In other cultures, youth is considered more valuable. Although it is unfair to devalue maturity, it is more reasonable put more hope in youth.
