雅思大作文范文

Population ageing has emerged as a global phenomenon in the wake of the now virtually universal decline in fertility and increases in life expectancy. Many countries are confronted with new demographic realities that spread from the cities to the villages. In my opinion, more problems than benefits will surface with this trend. 　　Admittedly, older people often have time to offer for the benefit of family and the community. Nowadays, the young tend to rely on the older generation for household chores. It is also reported that time devoted to voluntary work and care is at its height within the age groups over 55. Such devotion adds greatly to the community well-being, if not to the GDP.

在生育率几乎普遍下降和预期寿命增加之后，人口老龄化已成为一种全球现象。许多国家面临着从城市蔓延到农村的新的人口现实。在我看来，这种趋势会带来更多的问题而不是好处。无可否认，老年人经常有时间为家庭和社会做出贡献。如今，年轻人倾向于依靠老一辈来做家务。据报道，在55岁以上的年龄组中，从事志愿工作和护理的时间最多。这样的奉献，即使不会增加GDP，也会大大增加社区的福祉。

Population ageing, however, brings about serious economic and social problems. When the number of workers decreases, the national income goes down. At the same time, as a person's use of health services increases significantly in the later years of their life, an ageing population causes a relative rise in the public resources required for pensions, health and residential care outlays. Moreover, with an ageing population, the problems associated with the "sandwich generation", people who have both children and parents to look after, have gained increasing prominence. Members of this "in-between" generation are often torn between the needs of raising children, caring for ageing parents and job responsibilities. 　　To sum up, population ageing is an inevitable prospect, the negative effects of which outweigh the positive. As ageing is a normal part of lifecycle for human beings, we must recognize its challenges to our life and society, and work on effective strategies to minimize its adverse influences.

然而，人口老龄化带来了严重的经济和社会问题。当工人人数减少时，国民收入就会下降。与此同时，随着一个人在晚年对医疗服务的使用显著增加，人口老龄化导致养老金、医疗和住宅护理支出所需的公共资源相对增加。此外，随着人口老龄化，与“三明治一代”(既要照顾孩子又要照顾父母)相关的问题日益突出。这“中间”一代的成员经常在抚养孩子、照顾年迈的父母和工作责任之间左右为难。综上所述，人口老龄化是一个不可避免的前景，其负面影响大于正面影响。由于老龄化是人类生命周期的一个正常部分，我们必须认识到它对我们的生活和社会的挑战，并努力制定有效的战略，以减少其负面影响。
