题目大意
一些人认为在现代社会中，变老对于他们是不利的，然而其他的人认为他们比起过去生活得更好。讨论双方观点并给出个人意见。
写作思路解析
这道题目要求我们讨论双方观点，因此要分别验证两个观点的合理性。我们可以讲虽然变老对于老人来说确实有很多的不好处，但是比起过去来说，现在老年人确实比之前的生活相对于来说更加容易一些。首先对于前者的观点来说，变老确实有很多不利的影响，比如在现代社会中，人们可能发现自己会很难适应社会的变化，比如新的科技的出现对于老年人来说是比较难接受的，他们会很难在现代社会生存；同时老年人很可能会比较孤独，可能自己的子女并没有陪伴在自己的身边；另一方的观点是和过去作对比，老年人的生活质量比起以前有了提升，比如老年人可以享受更好的医疗保健资源，老年人的寿命也逐渐提高；条件越来越好的养老院也给他们提供了比以往更好的居住条件。最后我个人的观点是老年人要积极适应现代的生活特征，用积极的心态过好晚年生活。
The aging population nowadays is taking an increasingly large proportion in our society. Some people claim that it is tough for the elderly people to live a decent life in the modern society. Personally, I tend to have a different opinion.
It is true that the senior citizens may face some difficulties in their lives. Firstly, people’s physical condition deteriorates inevitably as time passes by. Hence, they may suffer from various diseases and may lose the ability to support themselves financially and physically. Besides, the advancing technology may cause some difficulties for them since it is hard for them to acquaint themselves with the latest technology. For example, the online payment is pervasive nowadays in our country, but a majority of elderly still use the cash because they are not able to use them very well, which brings troubles in their daily lives.
However, we may also notice that the aging population may also enjoy better living condition than their counterparts in the past. To begin with, the medical advances greatly prolong people’s life span. Some common diseases like diabetes and hypertension now are no longer serious problems since their symptoms are sharply alleviated by intaking useful medicines. Apart from this, if the elderly are not willing to live together with their offspring, nursing homes today also provide much more well-rounded care systems with qualified medical personnel, which brings massive conveniences to their later lives.
As far as I am concerned, the senior citizens today are living a far more comfortable life than few decades ago. And I believe they should hold a positive attitude towards their lives and embrace the changes in this modern world.
