答案

Studying is popular topic for all centuries. Recently some people propose that learning new things is not only for young people, but also for older people. I definitely support that it is just as significant for older people to study and learn new things as it is for younger people, too. First and foremost, learning is a life-long process. Older people also need to make progress continuously. As an old saying said, ‘one is never too late to learn’. Although older people are relatively slow in reaction and movement, their study ability never finishes. We can say that older people is slow in learning new things. But we cannot say that it is not important for older people to learn new things. Secondly, as the society develops more and more quickly, it is important for the elder to accept new things. Science and technology changes with the passing of time, for example the past BB call changing into today’s smart phone. In 2007, the first generation of smart phone was published and we come into the generation of smart phone. After that, traditional mobile phone is replaced by smart phone. Also the older people want to chase the new fashion. For example, my father bought an iPhone 5S and asked me to teach him how to Facetime and use Wechat. From this example, we know that the elder have to keep learning new things. It is significant way to engage into the high-developed world. Last but not least, learning new things for the older people makes their life rich and happy. In recent years, especially in big cities, there exists ‘the aging of the population’. Young people go to big cities to work and leave the elder at home. Consequently, the elder feel lonely and vacuous. To enrich their life, learning new things is a healthy life style and fill the empty in their later life. For example, many older people learn to dance after dinner. It is not only a healthy fitness exercise, but also a way communicate with each other. In conclusion, for elder people, learning new things is a healthy life style to fill the empty space left by their children. Also because learning is no a short task, but a life-long work, learning new things is a continuous process. It is as important to the older people to learn new things as to the young people.
