Topic Is there anything that young people can teach older
people?
There is much disagreement over whether there is something that
young people can teach older people or not. Some people claim that
the older know everything better than the younger. Other people,
however, argue that the younger can master something that the older
do not know. As far as I am concerned, the older can still learn
something from the younger even if the former know more than the
latter.
Why do some people think that the older is more knowledgeable
than the younger on anything? The main reason is, people
accumulate knowledge from experience day after day, most of
which cannot be gained through books. For instance, an old
accountant can handle many difficult accounting affairs while a
young one cannot because the former has more experience.
Although I agree that the older can teach a lot of things to the
younger, I insist that it pays for the older to learn something from the
younger. In the first place, there is something that the older never
know before. The computer is the best example. As we know, the
computer was invented in the beginning of 1900`s and was
becoming popular after the Microsoft Windows operation system
was released in 1990`s. The older had rare chances to learn and use
the computers. On the contrary, the younger begin to get to know the
computer very early. No doubt that the younger know computer
better than the older.
When a person older than 30 years attends a computer course,
he/she will not be surprised if the teacher is younger than
he/she.
In the second place, the younger are more creative and imaginative.
When the older do something, they normally follow some rules they
got before. It is true the older seldom make mistakes but they also
