First, young people may know more because of their diligence. For example, the Nobel Prize winners are not always the oldest persons. They get the acceptance of the public because of their hard work. Their study results are learned by many people including those whose ages are older than the Noble Prize winners. In this sense, young people can teach the older ones. Secondly, the living condition may be another reason that young people may have something to teach older people. For example, some young people have lived in a farm since they were born and did farm work everyday. Some other older people have never been to a farm. Therefore these young people can probably give the older people a class about the farm work. lastly, in this society, technologies are developing so fast that young people probably learn some new knowledge that the older people have not learned. For example, the computer software is developing so fast that no one can learn all about it. Some young people may be good at those kinds of software that older people are not familiar with. So these young people may teach the software that they mastered to the older people. General speaking, young people also have something that they can teach the older ones in many cases. The reason may be the diligence, the living circumstance of the young people and the fast changed society. Essay 645 Topic 126 Is there anything that young people can teach older people? As is well know, older people have experienced this wonderful world a lot, and they are surely to have acquired much more knowledge about this world than the young people do. Gradually there exists a saying, there is nothing young people can teach older people. But actually I do not appreciate this statement. Young people need to learn a lot from the older people, but it is also reasonable for the older people to keep the pace of this world by the means of communicating with the youngsters due to the rapid evolution of this world. It means the older people also need to get something new from the youngsters. Admittedly, from the standpoint view of philosophy, young people start to learn about everything from both the theoretical books and experiences, then they will grow up in respective way. They will put themselves into this practical world, trying to find and solve new problems. Also many new discoveries and principle will be found by the practice of young people. Only through their practice do this world evolve very rapidly. Thus everybody in this world can share the results of the social development. Otherwise, if no new things were found by the young people, no creative developments would be made, and the society would stop developing. It is not our expectation. It is just these new things that the older people are sure to be lack, so the young people have the responsibility to show the older people what these new things are and how they work. For For more material and information, please visit TaiLieu Du Hoc at www.tailieuduhoc.org example, the advanced usage of computer is just the recent result due to the rapid growth of information technology. Many older people do not know how to use the computer, those older people get accustomed to the traditional methods, and refuse to adjust themselves to the new concepts of this computer times. Then young people have the obligation to show those older people how to use the computers, because everybody in this society has right to enjoy the advanced computer technology. In conclusion, on the one hand, young people need to learn a lot from the older people in order to meet the practical needs, on the other hand, the older people also need to communicate with the youngsters. Only in this way can the human being benefit from each other, and the society evolve rapidly eventually. Essay 646 Topic 126 Is there anything that young people can teach older people? People often say that young people are the future of the country. That is certainly true. Young people are always the leaders of the society. They always learn the newest in the world. They go to school every day and have more time to learn than any working person. Young people`s education is far better than the old people`s. They usually can learn much knowledge in a short period of time. Of course young know more logical things in this modern society. They have more new experience with foreigners. Nowadays, China develops very quickly and changes a lot every year. We go to school, learn every day about the world and every day is different, everything is the newest, while old people work all through the day. They only have a little time to read or learn. They surely cannot know or learn more knowledge. So, young can teach the elders the things they learn in school. From about 1980 a Chinese family has one child only. That makes parents love their child very much and they always want to give the best education to him or her. In this way the education now is far better than before. Young people now learn knowledge from every corner of the world, while the elders only know how to make a living and nothing more. For example we learn how to use computers, what is digital techniques. Elders cannot know any of these things. The wonderful education makes people more modern indeed, so young have another reason to teach the elders something. China has opened for a long time and now more and more foreigners come to China. They start companies, teach their languages to Chinese people and so on. At the same time, foreigners also bring their countries` traditions to China. Sometimes the foreign way to manage something is really better than the Chinese. When a young person learns foreign knowledge through foreign teachers, he can teach old and other people do not know, and later the society becomes a society full of foreign traditions. So, I also think that young people are the leaders of the society. Therefore, do not always think that the old know everything and the young cannot teach them. The country is the young`s. The country needs the young people to build it more For more material and information, please visit TaiLieu Du Hoc at www.tailieuduhoc.org beautiful, better than others. We must believe we are far better the elders. Essay 647 Topic 126 Is there anything that young people can teach older people? Generally speaking, older people have more knowledge, experience and skills than young people. Compared with them, the young are just unfledged. But is it reasonable to say there is nothing that the young can teach older people? No. You can never say that. Firstly, being old doesn`t always mean having more knowledge. One`s knowledge is not proportional to one`s age directly. So we cannot decide whether a person is more intellectual merely by judging his or her age. The Chinese famous philosopher Confucius said that you could always find someone to teach you when walking with a group of people. So no one can claim to know all. Even if he was an expert in sciences, he may be a layman in communicating with other people. Therefore anyone including the young and old must have something special, something that other people are not familiar with. In this case, they can, of course, teach each other. Secondly, knowledge is exploding in this information epoch. People must keep replenishing their knowledge. Young people are more frequently exposed to new knowledge and they are also eager to learn them. In such field as computer technology, young people are showing more enthusiasm and talent. Today the world`s prominent computer giants are young people. They are teachers of the old. Thirdly, young people are usually energetic, ambitious, curious and risky. Compared with the young, old people are often reserved, conservative or even stubborn. They want to keep what they have got and do not like changes. While the young, however, want to change. They are usually not content with what they have at present. So they are willing to accept new things, challenge traditions and customs, put forward ideas and create new inventions. They are not worry about failure. They can restart from the very beginning after a blunder. In this sense, young people represent the progressive. They have much to teach the old in this respect. But, after all, older people are more experienced. In my opinion, the young and the old should teach and learn from each other. The old will pass away; the young have to become old; and a new generation will emerge. Forever, our world consists of young and old, who work together to make the world increasingly beautiful. Essay 648 Topic 126 Is there anything that young people can teach older people? It is generally believed that young people can always take a leaf from older people. But from my point of view, the young and the old should learn from each other. For one thing, young people can teach older people fresh knowledge. Take for instance, most of youngsters understand computer and IT field very easily while older people are reluctant to accept knowledge completely new to them. What if they would get help from For more material and information, please visit TaiLieu Du Hoc at www.tailieuduhoc.org the youth? My experience showed both young people and older people will benefit from it. I used to spend a whole week on teaching my parents how to send e-mail and use Internet to search any information they were interested in. Although painstaking the process is, now I am able to keep close contact with them and they enjoy reading news and entertainment by clicking on the mouse. It is really a fantastic! For another thing, older people are able to live a happier life if they could learn the zest for life from young people. As for this point, I indeed admire older people in western countries, who never lose energy for enjoying life. In China, most of the aged people are used to various burdens and automatically take all kinds of responsibilities while sacrificing themselves. In my opinion, that is not the healthy attitude toward life. Older people should also explore the essential of life and treasure personal interest in daily routine, just like the young men are striving for. In conclusion, it is incomplete if only young people share the experience of older people to improve themselves. Life would be more beautiful if the old and the young could learn from each other, help each other, and go ahead hand in hand. Essay 649 Topic 126 Is there anything that young people can teach older people? Currently, books, teachers, parents, movies and Internet are the basic learning sources for young people. However, our parents and grandparents along with our teachers are the older people who teach us our first lessons. They pass on us their experience and knowledge for the world. Nevertheless, I do not agree that there is nothing that young people can teach older people. Nowadays, young people are better informed than their parents are. What is more, young people are interested in new technologies and are more adaptive to the modern world. That is why, they often help their parents cope with new gadgets such as mobile phones, DVD systems or modern home appliances. For example, my parents often look for my assistance when they have to work on my computer. Another example that young people can also teach older people is fashion. Our parents especially grandparents prefer to dress themselves traditionally but often old-fashionably. Consequently, if older people want to look more stylish the best advice they can get is from their children. Apart from new technologies and fashion, there are many other things that older people can learn from young people. For my lifetime is so different from that of my parents I believe that I may teach them something new or I can simply show them that many things in life have changed since their youth. Summing up, people can learn something new every day no matter if they are young or older. Although our parents are the best teachers we can have, I truly believe that young people can teach older people a lot about new and useful technologies, fashion or about For more material and information, please visit TaiLieu Du Hoc at www.tailieuduhoc.org the modern world. In my opinion, the most important thing older people can learn from young people is how to keep their spirits young for good. Essay 650 Topic 126 Young Teacher There is a public debate today that whether there is nothing that young people can teach older people. Actually, Confucius and his students in ancien China had discussed this topic about 2500 years ago. In this discussion, Confucius completely supported the idea that young people can teach older people something and there is no shame to ask young people. Nowadays, 2500 years later, I am still on Confucius's side. Firstly, knowledge is a dynamic connotation. It is always expanding and deepening. Everyday, we get new items related to science and technology. Usually, young students in schools contact these new things in the development of knowledge, while old people would be left behind by such a development for having escaped from education. Therefore, young people are of course qualified to teach old people some new knowledge. Secondly, learning includes interdisciplinary communication. For example, a physicist may want to learn something about chemistry, or a chemist may want to learn something about mathematics. Suppose that an old physic is asking a young chemist some questions. Can you consider that there is nothing that the young chemist can teach the old physicist? Obviously, most people would choose a negative answer to this question. Finally and the most importantly, knowledge is not determined by age. Learning knowledge is a very complex process. It concerns many major factors such as talent, intelligence, diligence, and so on. Many scientific results have indicated that age is just a subordinate factor. Thus, it is thoroughly unreasonable to judge one's knowledge by his age. Apparently, no one would doubt whether 30 years old Einstein could teach a 80 years old man the Theory of Relativity. This is a good case in point. In summary, knowledge is dependent on many things but age. So, remember, do not be afraid to teach older people and do not be shy to ask younger. Essay 651 Topic 126 young people can teach Older people always have more useful experiences and knowledge than young people, and the youngsters often regard some famous persons, such as sports stars, scientists, who are usually order than them, as their study models. However, despite all I have mentioned above, I believe, it is by no means that there is nothing that young people can teach older ones. The most significant reason which supports my opinion is that young people always accept new knowledge and technique much more easily and rapidly than the order people. In this information epoch, our society is developing more and more speedily, and new inventions and theories emerge here and there every day. Those youngsters always have much active thought and abundant energy to keep up with the pace of the changeable world or even lead the developments in some special fields such as computer science. While, on the other hand, older people seem to be a little slower to switch their mind to the newest fashionable trends. At this sense, young people can help the orders to grasp the newest and most changeable tides in our society. Besides, it may also be noted that the creative and innovated angles of thought brought about by youngsters will render For more material and information, please visit TaiLieu Du Hoc at www.tailieuduhoc.org older people a more considerate and complete understanding of the world. Those who have an opposite view of this problem may argue that young people are lack of some important experience. However, just because they have little previous experience, they are not limited in their mind by those established facts, and see the world in a different angle. This characteristic of youngsters gives them a strong ability to create and innovate something that the olders may not even think of. And as is known, people tend to be conservative and prudent as their age growing. In sum, I believe there is always something that young people can teach older ones, because of their significant ability of accommodation and creation in this constantly developing society. Remember, in order to earn a successful life, everyone should learn to appreciate all brilliant thoughts of others' no matter how old they are. Essay 652 Topic 127 Reading fiction vs. watching movies During our spare time, people usually tend to read fiction or watch movies for relaxation. Some people are under the impression that reading fiction is more enjoyable than watching movies. However, as far as I am concerned, I hold the opinion that watching movies is relatively more entertaining. In the first place, movies bring us more enjoyment of the pictures and sounds. Reading fiction and watching movies are both the ways to make ourselves enjoy a plot. However, as we all know, what a fiction brings to a reader are merely the rigid words which probably let people lose interest in the very beginning, while a movie will definitely take the audience to a vivid world, which easily catches our attention and make us exposed in a virtual environment with pictures and sounds. In the second place, watching movies is more time-saving. Normally it just takes us about one or two hours to watch a movie. Comparatively, people will spend much more time in reading fictions, which probably take people one week or even more time. Of course reading fiction also have one or two advantages as well, such as the literature itself maybe includes some more meaningful information which the actors might not perform very well. Despite of some advantages of reading fiction in make people amusing, I believe watching movies is relatively more enjoyable for most of the people. Essay 653 Topic 127 Reading fiction vs. watching movies Which one is more pleasant, reading fiction or watching movies? Since people`s habits and interest differ, they may never agree on above issue. Personally, I enjoy watching movies very much, and the magic and spectacular world movies bring to me adds some vivid colors in my life. To begin with, watching movies are considerably easier than reading novels. As an For more material and information, please visit TaiLieu Du Hoc at www.tailieuduhoc.org international student who is in Canada and whose native language is not English, I will not choose reading novels as my entertainment (although I have to make every effort to pass the literature course and finish five horrible novels in a term). When I came to Canada one year ago, I bought some popular novels such as Star War and Harry Potter, but I only read several pages till now. There are so many difficult words I have to look up and finally I gave up. In contrast, movie is much easier to understand. Even if the characters` words sometimes confuse me, I can get some clues from the picture. In addition, movies can provide us with visual images as well as sound. In friction, we often read some sentences describing a girl`s beauty, but do we really have a picture of the girl`s appearance in our mind? No. The only thing the author can guarantee is that the girl is terribly good-looking. However, with the help of movies, the beauty of that girl is visualized and we can get a concrete view about this character. Similarly, a movie`s words and songs also attract us, but we cannot expect any harmonious sounds from a novel. In all, the invention of movies is a milestone in the entertainment history. From the attacking of aliens to the sinking of Titanic, from a fierce battle in the ancient Rome to a huge space ship traveling in the universe, movies have brought numerous vivid scenes in front of audience all around the world. Last but not least, it is enjoyable to listen to songs in movies. In order to attract more audience, film companies always make a great effort to produce tuneful music in their movies. The power of songs in movies is amazing. After several decades, people may forget the content of the movie, but they are still familiar with the movie`s music, which recall them to the sweet memory of former days. About one month ago, I watched the Sound of Music from a Canadian TV channel. When I heard the classic music I found the feeling of my childhood. To summarize, from my point of view, watching movies is more enjoyable than reading fiction. If there are a best-selling novel and an Oscar-winning movie DVD in front of me, I will definitely choose the DVD. Essay 654 Topic 127 Watch or Read Fiction has progressed a lot from the last few decades. And all praise to the technology that provided such kind of fiction which people enjoy either reading or watching movies of it. However, I do agree with the statement that reading fiction such as novels or short stories is more enjoyable than watching movies. When reading fiction stories one can obtain his own imaginary views of such stories, reading novels and stories has been popular hobbies of the people, reading short stories on fiction could also create many developing ideas on the reader's mind. Reading fiction has a different taste as compared to watching movies. When a reader reads such fiction which makes him interested in reading the stories, he tries to gain his own imaginary views on that particular story which could possibly happen in watching movies because the writer of the movie has already presented his own imagination of that story. For example, when a story comes to the climax part, writers of the movies usually tries to cover the story of that movie. But For more material and information, please visit TaiLieu Du Hoc at www.tailieuduhoc.org when reading stories, it often leaves an impression on a reader's mind how he views the climax or what sort of imagination he wants to add in the stories which may be the beginning of the story where it ends. Reading stories and novels on fiction are not only the hobbies of todays' people but also have been the leisure for ancient people. Because reading novels has its' own taste and style. For example, many people still prefer to read books such as Harry Potter because they feel more pleasure in reading books than to go out to watch movies. Reading novels not only provide information about the stories but it also helps people in writing skills. When reading fiction such as stories or novels could also create more developing ideas on the reader's mind. Because when reading these books often people try to make out their own stories or ideas which may make more interesting in reading such books. Reading stories also inspire many people and they also start to write stories according to their own imagination. In conclusion, reading stories provide many information about a particular topic or what kind of changes has made in the reader's mind after reading books and novels. Therefore, I prefer to read books on fiction rather than watching movies. Essay 655 Topic 127 watch movies or read fictions Which style of entertainment do you prefer, reading fictions such as novels and short stories or watching movies? Everybody has his own view due to the different tastes of entertainment. However, when it comes to me, I would like watching movies rather than reading fictions. The most significant reason for me to make this choice is that movies not only bring about interesting and appealing plots of stories to us, but also offer us visual and audio enjoyment, which fictions cannot grant us. For example, when we watching a romantic film, we are deeply moved by the drastic love between the leading actor and the leading actress, and, at the same time, we can also appreciate the beautiful and delicate scenes as well as the moving romantic music and songs. While, on the other hand, fictions do not provide so much enjoyment of all aspects as movies do. In addition, it should also be noted that watching movies is an effective method for people to relax themselves in a relatively short time. Nowadays our society is developing more and more speedily, and, as a result, the rhythm of people's life becomes more and more rapid. Everybody have to do much more and better than those who lived decades ago. Efficiency has become one of the most important elements in people's everyday life, even in leisure time. As we all know, reading fictions need much time and few people can complete those thick novel books such as Gone With The Wind in only two or three hours, while if we appreciate this famous stories on screen, we can easily do it in a short time. So we can say that watching movies can save much precious times of us, and this kind of entertainment fits modern people's life better. To sum up, in my leisure time, I perfer watching movies with my families and friends, since I can gain all-round enjoyment and relax myself efficiently. After watching my favorite movies, my thoughs are refreshed and I can concentrate on my study and work. However, at the same time, I cannot deny there are also many merits of reading fictions. I do not choose it because I am too busy to spend much time on it. Essay 656 Topic 128 Physical excercise vs. academic study For more material and information, please visit TaiLieu Du Hoc at www.tailieuduhoc.org Though physical recreations and intellectual activities are two basic ways in which people spend their leisure time. In my opinion, the former is more important for my generation, who is in twenties and is studying hard for their academic achievements. This is based on a consideration of age, our main occupation and the characteristics of two forms of recreation. People of my age are full of energy and physically active, but we have to sit for hours a day racking our brains. We need a complement that can give us more physical exercises and divert our attention from studying. A intellectual activity, like reading a book, playing a chess game can help us escape from the worries and forget our study for a moment. But there is no physical activity, what`s more, they are more or less still a form of mental recreation. For instance, we may feel mentally tired after games of chess and our study will be affected. In contrast, a physical recreation can provide us with a lot of physical activities and real mental relaxation. A ballgame, for example, can build up muscles, flex joints, speed up blood circulation and enhance bodily organs. We may feel physically exhausted, but we can be absorbed in study more easily. In the view of above, however, it doesn`t mean that one form is eat?and the other is oison? Occasionally, when we are physically exhausted and we are in good mood, a chess game or a good TV program can be very helpful. Essay 657 Topic 129 Business research vs. agricultural research If I were asked an advice I would recommend to develop a center for research in agriculture in Armenia. Republic of Armenia has limited land resources. The average height above sea level is at 1800 m. The Republic has 9 climatic zones, ranging from subtropics to sub-alpine. Population density in the regions favorable for farming is very high. Under such conditions the problems of food provisions are very acute. Transition to market economy, followed by breaking up of kolkhozes and sovkhozes, led to the formation of many agricultural farms with small plots. This resulted in considerable deterioration in the use of land such as neglecting of crop rotations. Use of fertilizers and pest or diseases control agents dropped significantly. The problems of granting credits to farmers have not been solved, and as a result many farms, instead of increasing their production, have become a mere self-sustaining units what is conducive to cutting of links between agricultural production and food-processing industry. Formerly Armenia exported to other regions of the Soviet Union dozens of thousands of tons of fresh apricots, peaches, grapes, vegetables and early potatoes, as well as processed products, such as canned food, juices, wine and brandy. Currently Armenia For more material and information, please visit TaiLieu Du Hoc at www.tailieuduhoc.org exports only a small quantity of brandy. For solving all these problems we should have progress in agricultural production and food-processing industry. Essay 658 Topic 129 If a university plans to develop a new research center in our country, I will strongly recommend them to build one in agriculture rather than a business research. There are numerous reasons why I hold the confidence on it and I will explore a few of major ones here. First of all, developing research in agriculture is exigent for a great number of people who depend on field to live. In our country with 1200 million people, over 40 percent of them are farmers whose standard of living always lie on the lowest level. Most of them even cannot sustain their life by just working in the field. 40 percent of 1200 million people, that means that there are millions persons in our country still make a hard life. Under the circumstance, how to help our farmers get away hunger and improve their standard of life, this is a real and serious object that need our researcher to solve. In addition, since our country is a big country, which have a wide range of areas with various soils and climates, the effort coming from our agriculture research will contribute farmers` possibly better cultivation. They will learn more about the local agriculture condition and do their best to handle a set of scientific practical methods to raise their field yield. Comparing that of developed country, ours is very low. In order to reduce the appearance of such situation that farmers work hard all day and all night, what they obtain is pathetic. It is of absolute significance to develop a research for farmers. Of course, like every thing has double folds, nobody deny that the business research center is also important to our country, since it can help to improve economy development to some extent. Weighing the pros and cons, however, I believe that the importance to build the agriculture research center is more obvious. To put all into a nutshell, for what I presented above, I will safely draw a conclusion that it is advisable for our government to build an agriculture research center, instead of one in business.
