雅思口语part3话题【Age difference】可以怎样回答？

　　雅思口语part3话题【Age difference】可以怎样回答？我们知道针对“Age difference”类型的问题多数是从“young people”和“old people”之间的对比展开的，而年轻人和老年人的差异性主要存在于：hobby/ habit/ life experience/ outlook/ appearance/ health。

　　存在这些差异点的原因最主要也是因为年轻人永远都在追逐时下最新最潮流的东西，而老年人限于年代和身体的原因，更加关注于过往和自身。同时，老年人社会经验的丰富性也是成为年轻人想要从他们身上有所获取的原因。

　　Question:

　　Do young people and old people discuss the same topics?

　　Answer:

　　Probably not. I think young people are concerned about topics like technology and lifestyle. They like to talk about what is trending on social media and what is the latest fashion or fad 时尚. They are also into following celebrities and discussing their lives. However, older people tend to talk more about family and health.

　　“年龄差”的探讨里，除了“young VS old”之外，“children VS adult”又是另一组会出现的比较，不过此类对比出现的概率没有前者来的高。

　　大人和小孩间的差异性还是比较明显的，小孩子处于一个懵懂的年纪，他们对于事物的理解更多停留在表面;大人相对而言懂得更多，经历的也更多，所以他们对于事物的理解会更深层次。也正是如此，当我们提到“笑点和泪点”时，小孩子会来的更直接，而大人则需要有更深刻的点来触动他们笑或者哭。

　　Question:

　　Do children and adults laugh at the same scenes when watching a comedy together? Why/why not?

　　Answer:

　　I think there would be some scenes where both adults and children would laugh at the same time, probably because the character fell over or did something stupid but I think generally they laugh at different things. Children are more innocent than adults.

　　They tend to laugh at funny characters, their facial expressions and the things they do whereas adults laugh more at the dialogue. Most children don't really understand all the words and jokes as they go over their head 不知所云.

　　即便以上说了这么多，你会发现在某些问题的思考上，你就真的很难找到两者年龄存在的差一点或者说他们的差异性随着时代的发展有了本周的缩小，比如：老年人和年轻人对于软件的使用。

　　我们都知道年轻人在科技上是先锋，老年人则相对滞后。也正是如此，很多同学就会误以为老年人在软件的使用上是局限的，可恰恰你却忽略老年人即便在老依旧有继续学习的能力，尤其使用手机成为社会的一种本能时。为此，你会发现随着一款软件的发展，前期的主力军为年轻人，之后就会有大批的老年人涌入进来，微信就是一个很好的例子。

　　所以我们要具体问题具体分析，并不一定要在所有“difference”类型问题上找出差异。part 3是没有正确答案的，它更多考察的是你的思辨能力。

　　Question:

　　What’s the difference between apps used by young and old people?

　　Answer:

　　To be honest, I think nowadays there isn’t much difference. In the past, young people were the ones to use social media and video games, but nowadays the older generation is using apps just as much. They are really good at using WeChat, Tik Tok and even mobile games.
