一、题目
At the present time, the population in some countries includes a relatively large number of young adults, compared with the number of older people. Do the advantages of this situation outweigh the disadvantages?
二、解析
这是一道社会人口大类利弊题型。题目要求考生讨论年轻人数量高于老年人的优劣。我现在马上能想到的年轻人多的好处是社会劳动力资源充足、社会经济繁荣、老年人退休养老有经济保障；不足是就业、住房、教育等竞争激烈，年轻人生活压力大；老年人发挥余热空间小，对老年生活品质有所影响。我的立场是利大于弊，支持有更多的年轻人的社会。
三、一稿
1、开头
Due to religious, economical or cultural factors, in some regions or countries, there are no family planning considerations, hence a large sum of young people spring up and take up the majority of the body of population. To my mind, there are more benefits than drawbacks for a nation having more youthful population.
2、主体#1段
Admittedly, more young adults in a society means more competitive job market and more expensive housing and education, greater body of youth can provide more sufficient source of workforce for the industry, as a result, the social economy could develop more actively. In addition, greater wealth could be produced to meet the needs of people. What’s more, the older citizens can also enjoy more assurance of pensions and retirement welfare and live a carefree senior life. On the country, in a society full of 80s or 90s, the burden of the young to financially support the older compatriots and physically look after them would be tremendous.
3、主体#2 段
Nevertheless, some opponents of younger society may argue that the older folks’ spiritual life quality might suffer if there were more youths, because some elders might be forced to retire earlier and make room for the young, and they might have fewer chances to contribute to their beloved former employer and therefore experience some degree of low sense of self-esteem or even depression. While in my opinion, senior nationals can offset the above awkward scenario by pursuing lifelong learning, providing consuling service to the business world or authoring autobiography to share their precious insights and life stories with other people, giving back to the society and achieving an rewarding older life without feeling gloomy or upset.
4、结尾
In summary, the advantages far outweigh the disadvantages in a world with more young adults than older ones. We should encourage people to take into account the huge benefits of a more youthful nation for both the individuals and society and fulfill the ideal of sustainable development in terms of population reproduction while at the same time avoid the downsides of overpopulation or population explosion.
