What are the differences between old and young people when using apps?

经典的对比年轻人和老人，自己思考一下是否可以马上想起来年轻人/老人的典型特点。

思考中

– young people  are willing to try new stuff (stuff是口语化的things，写作不要用，写作其实things也不推荐，从句或具体名词比较书面) and learn fast – 所以更容易学会怎么用新的apps, 比如新游戏，新social media，or like AI-related tools.

 old people, on the other hand, tend to stick to (keep/continue using) what they’re used to. 可以举身边人简单例子，奶奶只会用tiktok和wechat。

思考：时间貌似可以讲，年轻人忙，没时间用app，但这道题不太符合问题。自己思考一下为什么。

这里稍微改变一下这个思路变得合题： Young people often use apps for studying or work. ->忙 ->app能提高效率->学习工作更好 However, old people usually use apps mainly for leisure(for fun也可以). This is because 时间多->没事干->看interesting short videos感觉开心。

Why do some people not like using apps?

这是一道第一反应“什么鬼”的题目，反正我看到题目的第一反应就是：谁不爱用app，谁？我不道啊？你完全可以把你的反应放在你的回答里（但不能说脏话）：

Really? I thought everyone likes using apps. At least, from my observation, all my friends spend tons of (tons of是口语化的a lot of/many) time on their phones every day.

但我们所有这种不知道，不了解，什么鬼的题目，都可以I guess一下：

However, if anyone does hate using apps, I guess they prefer the traditional way of doing things, like writing letters, looking up a paper dictionary, or finding information from books. (they是一个比较新潮的用法，在不知性别时候单数可以用they，本来是he or she，但由于国外政治正确，现在两个性别已经兜不住了，所以统一用they。但是，国内考试不要用单数they！)

What apps are popular in your country? Why? 

ok我们回答tiktok，但注意我怎么把回答的这句话变长的（并不复杂）：

I believe there are many popular new apps in recent years, especially last year when AI became a thing (become a thing是口语话表达类似became popular/important or jsut appear). However, Tiktop is undoulbtly the most popular app in my country, or even all over the world.

Tiktok（抖音）是一个挺好用的话题，1-4月的科技类P2题目也涉及，我们就说它最经典的流行理由，algorithm（算法，这个词不熟直接跳过），知道你的preference，然后feed/recommend/push content you like. 给一个避开难词的回答：

It is popular among people at all ages. And I think the main reason is that the app is super smart. It learns what you like and dislike （忍不住想加一点了，track应该不算难词 by tracking your viewing history）. And then, the app will keep recomomending (如果我说我可能用flood，就只是提一下) similar content to you. Therefore, compared with traditional video apps…

Should parents limit their children’s use of computer programs and computer games? Why and how? 

视力是个很好的话题，但很多同学不知道怎么拓展只能讲一句，先自己尝试讲讲看

尝试中

其实不难，bad for the eyesight – stare at the screen for a long time -> bright light will strain (hurt) your eyes- causing short sight/ near sight. 后面还可以编个例子，我的cousin从小玩手机，2年纪就wear thick glasses了

除此之外还可以说become addicted, distract from study，spend too much time, no time to review course work, fail exams.这些都是同一个理由里的。

也可以说children lack self-control. 不给个limit就一直玩，不睡觉，bad for health

Do you think young people are more and more reliant on these programs? 

yes，因为更忙了学的更多了，app提高效率；另外累，entertainment apps 比如游戏音乐视频，clear mind and escape the pressure。

no，学校不让用手机，想rely都rely不了。

What do you think about some countries banning children from using social media? 

和之前某一题类似，可以加一些比如Hard to identify the user，你怎么知道不是小孩偷了家长手机用。so it’s not very practical/ hard to implement.

Do you think it’s important to plan ahead? 

能it depends的同学建议it depend一下，因为你如果说哪些事情准备好，哪些不准备好，内容就多了，前提是你有东西说。我就给一些通用的思路：

准备-> anticipate potential problems (know aht problems you might face)-> perform better     如exams，interviews，making a public speech

不准备 ->superise ->更有趣    如旅游，去museum

What activities do we need to plan ahead? 

和上一题类似，这里说一下观点句，很多同学只能想到“important things”，这个说法也没问题，就是有点空，而且大家都这么说，尝试讲得更具体：

尝试中

especially those involve a lot of time, money, or other people. 比如你雅思花钱考的，那还是好好准备吧

Do you think children should plan their future careers? 

这又是一个什么鬼的题目（对我来说）我可能眉头一皱，就开始Well出来了。

-不知道什么感兴趣，以后可能变

-太小了，不知道有哪些职业（比如我小时候只知道scientist，我朋友都想做scientist）

-（让步，不能放第一个）爸妈可能可以帮忙plan

Should children ask their teachers or parents for advice when making plans? 

Yes, – grown ups (adults) have more life experience. 知道多，可能遇到过类似plan，知道怎么解决可能的问题。

– 可以trust，they will take responsibility, 和网上stranger 或者peer相比，更reliable

No, -有generation gap，不知道年轻人在想啥，比如我可能想玩游戏，我爸妈不让，那他们给的plan肯定不符合我的expectation。

– adults忙，没时间帮我plan，可能给他们additional burden

Is making study plans popular among young people? 

这个从现实来看是no的，课都那么多，作业都做不完，谁还plan未来。另外可以借鉴之前children那题，未来不清楚，没目标，计划不了。

Do you think choosing a college major is closely related to a future career? 

这个我就按我自己会答的来说了

Well, it actually depends on what major you choose. For those majors that involve technical skills and knowledge, the answer is yes. For example, most of my friends who study engineering or computer science end up doing jobs related to their college majors after graduation, and infact, their core courses at university  play an important role at work. However, for other majors, especially business or liberal arts (liberal arts是文科，science是理科), the major itself usually doesn’t limit their career prospects. Like, a management student ususally don’t really become a manager, instead, they often start with entry-level jobs like marketing or consulting, or even start a career in other fields, such as becoming a teacher.
