▶ Your Answer : Most people believe that people who is old have more useful skills and knowledge than younger people, so older people do not need to learn from people who are younger than them. However, I believe there are many things that young people are able to teach older people such as creativity and up-to-date technological devices. In this essay, I will present briefly two reasons supporting my opinion. First and foremost, younger people's way of thinking can make older people to think out of perspective they had before. To be specific, people who are young thinks freely than old people. Whereas people who lived long affected by perspective of majority of people, so called "normality", young peoples do not have enough time to accept other people's thinking. Therefore, if older people hear how young people respond to specific situation or what young people consider as suitable solution for difficult situation, older people can learn other aspect of situation or solution. For example, when I visited my younger cousin, I had trouble in my mid term exam. I only thought of some difficult solution for that problem. Then my younger cousin, who is 7 years old gave me the way to solve it that I never thought of. Thus, younger can assist older people by giving them the new way of thinking.
Moreover, young people can convey the skill that used for utilize cutting-edge electronic devices to older people. In detail, young people understand of new things better than older people, such as smart phone, internet. However, older people may have trouble in getting used to up-to-date applications cause they are not aware of what to start first. Therefore, by teaching older people way to use such devices, younger people can benefits many older people. For example, in my community's service center, there is a program that old people can learn how to use computer by university students. The old who attended in that program said that it was very helpful for him, For this reason, young people can teach useful skill to use new devices to old people.
To sum up, younger people have many abilities that older people do not posses, such as different point of view and how to use new appliances, hence, they can teach those things to older people. | i |
