Should the Retirement Age Be Postponed
Directions:For this part,you are allowed 30 minuntes to write an essay on the pros and
cons of delaying retirement.You should write at least 120 words but no more than 180
words.
Along with the trend of longevity,nobody could have failed to notice a heated debate on
whether it is wise to postpone the retirement age.
Some people argue that it's necessary to postpone the retirement age in that it is a good
way to reduce pension burdens.It helps creat more social wealth as well as more money
contributed toward the retirement pension.However,other people hold a negative view about
it.For one thing,this reform could raise the pressure of social employment,especially
under the present severe situation.For another,it may diminish seniors' leisure time and
meanwhile,their lack of creativity and flexibility may be bad to the companies in the long
run.
For my part,we should take social realities and the elders'interests into consideration so
that a clearer perspective of the debate can be gained.
