Topic: there is nothing that young people can teach older people. Do you agree with this following statement?


A lot of people say that young people can’t teach anything to older people because they are still students, and older people have lived more, but I think this is not a true fact because there are lots of people who can’t read, they know the economy, but I do not think that they know about sciences.Many young people know better about sciences, and technology, but older people don’t really know because they can only read news paper to know the economy, or watch TV to know, but sciences don’t show in the TV or news paper that much. Because young people go to the school, and study, there are new facts that they can know information that older people don’t know; in this case, young people have to teach old people. So I think that young people can teach old people.Because there were World War first and second, many people did not care about education, so some old people can speak, but not reading. I know in Korea because it was colonized by Japan, many old people could not read, so young people are trying to help them to how to write and read. This is another reason for young people can teach.Many people thought that young people are unable to teach older people because lately many young people don’t care about the environment, politic, or even studying, but mostly they do care about studying, so young people can easily teach. Another reason is young people have used a lot of technology, it seems that they are not trying anything.Therefore it might seem that young people are not able to teach and there are nothing to teach, but there are.It is one of prejudices that young people have nothing to teach, but there are lots of things to teach with the reasons above, I think that young people do have something to teach older people that they don’t know.
