思路解析：
2016年雅思收官之戰(zhàn)的作文來了一道新題，問當(dāng)今社會老年人的生活是不是很糟糕?說是新題，因為本題以前從未原題出現(xiàn)過，但關(guān)于年齡的話題卻不缺少。比如2010年7月10日“年輕人是否適合擔(dān)任政府要職”，2012年3月10日“老齡化現(xiàn)象的原因及解決方法”，2012年3月31日“年輕人和老年人誰的價值更高?”，2013年6月8日“政府是否應(yīng)該對老年人養(yǎng)老提供財政支持?”，2015年1月1日“年輕人當(dāng)領(lǐng)導(dǎo)，行不行?”，2015年4月11日“老年人與年輕人爭奪工作職位，怎么辦?”等等。
本題需要論證的對立觀點是：年老很糟糕 vs. 當(dāng)今社會年老沒有那么糟糕。那么，變老有哪些壞處呢?首先，當(dāng)然是身體條件沒有以前好了，甚至可能出現(xiàn)多種疾病(物質(zhì)層面);其次，不工作了，與人的聯(lián)系少了，心里可能會感覺孤單，甚至感覺沒有價值了(精神層面);最后，變老后對社會的依賴程度更高，給社會增加了壓力(社會層面)。那么，這些問題在當(dāng)今社會是不是得到了解決呢?首先，醫(yī)療條件的改善有助于保持老年人的身體狀況;互聯(lián)網(wǎng)的出現(xiàn)有助于緩解老年人的心理孤單問題;物質(zhì)水平的提高也降低了老年人給社會造成的壓力。如此觀之，現(xiàn)代社會老年人的生活的確容易多了，但我的觀點是：外部條件只是改善老年人生活的一個方面，最重要的還是老年人自己要積極調(diào)整心態(tài)，努力適應(yīng)退休后的生活，從而過一個更幸福更祥和的晚年。
Sample answer：
Getting old is a natural process that nobody really likes. When you reach a certain age, your physical conditions will inevitably deteriorate, and you may suffer from various kinds of diseases. When you retire, you will feel isolated because your previous work contacts may be all gone, then you may feel useless to the world. Furthermore, when you get too old, you’ll have to rely heavily on the support from others, either physically or emotionally, and your life will become a great pressure to your family and the whole society as well.
For all these bad things about getting old, many people argue that the life of the elderly today is much easier than in the past. In the first place, medical advances nowadays have made it possible for the old people to stay sound and healthy for quite a long while even after they retire. Diseases such as diabetes, hypertension and heart attack which might have inflicted pain on the old people are no longer serious problems for them. Then, with the widespread use of modern communication technology, old people today are no longer isolated from the world. Instead, by using their personal social media, they can always stay in touch with their families and friends, and share with them whatever they find interesting in their life. In this way, they do not really feel lonely or abandoned. Finally, the improved social wealth and pension system have also significantly reduced the pressure the old people pose to their families and communities.
So, I do agree that the old people today are enjoying a much more comfortable life than, say, thirty years ago (not to mention 100). That is why, instead of being worried about their retired life, many people even begin to expect their retirement to come, because they see this as a new beginning of their life. I think, as long as the old people have the right attitude, the modern world has indeed much to offer for their happy, enjoyable and rewarding retired life.
