问题     Some people think that the teenage years are the happiest times of most people’s lives. Others think that adult life brings more happiness, in spite of greater responsibilities.
    Discuss both these views and give your own opinion.
选项
答案     There are several stages in people’s lives: childhood, school, career or retirement. As to which is the happiest time, teenagers and adults may come up with reverse answers. I would like to examine these two age groups’ views first and then give mine as follows.
    Those who believe teenagers are the happiest have their sound reasons. First of all, there is no need for teenagers to take any responsibility. They are supported financially and emotionally by their parents, and although they may be included in family decisions, they are not ultimately responsible. Another reason is that away from these serious concerns, young people have an active social life with their friends. For example, many boys hang out with friends, having fun together rather than exchanging information upon how to make a fortune. With all this to experience, teenagers see their parents’ lives as boring and stressful.
    However, the reverse is also true. In the first place, adults appreciate the joys of maturity, which may include a contented family life, long-lasting friendships and a satisfying career. For example, at work, many of them are challenged and stimulated by the increasing professional skills they acquire. In the second place, the maturity gives adults greater confidence in their own judgment. They are not afraid to express their opinion when others disagree. Last but not least, being financially independent is an advantage over the youngsters, it is easy to imagine how happy an adult is when he has spent their own earnings buying his first new car, while a child would timidly ask parents for some pocket money.
    Both these periods can be happy times, but I look back at my own teenage years with no desire to go back. Joys are appreciated when a big decision is made and later a good result is achieved. Obviously the adults usually are the decision-makers. In fact, decisionmaking requires wisdom and maturity, but teenagers, who tend to be followers, do not have sufficient life experiences to possess these qualities.
