学为贵雅思培训-北京雅思培训机构项目部提供：雅思口语答案:elderly people v. technology。

　　这两天，我收到了很多学生的提分/高分消息，我很开心。我们的学生之所以可以快速提高，很重要的一个原因是我们懂得雅思口语考试怎么“玩”。无数同学和老师认为观点很重要、立刻给出观点很重要，这是错的。比如下面这道题，我没有立刻给出明确观点（因为我没想到，也因为我在做的是和考官“聊天”），但这不影响分数。

　　题目：

　　How to teach elderly people new technology?

　　满分答案：

　　Um, well, off the top of my head, I really want to say that it's extremely difficult to teach old people new things, let alone technology, which is generally harder to learn than many other things.

　　This is because senior citizens have lived their entire lives doing the things that they're used to, that they're familiar with. So most elderly people are reluctant to learn new things.

　　Thinking about it, if we want to teach old people new technology, it's crucial that we get them to understand it's necessary to learn it.

　　For example, my mom only agreed to learn to use WeChat, the Chinese equivalent of WhatsApp, because I told her that I would be on it all the time, and she could send me text messages and voice messages anytime she wanted. If it hadn't been for that, I suppose she still wouldn't be able to use WeChat today.
