很多年轻的高级教授

• The young have plenty to teach he old
  
  Many of us believe that young people have nothing valuable to teach older people. However that is not always the case. Young peole can teach older people about technology, youth culture, and young-related social issues.
  
  Young people are usually better at using new forms of technology than old peple. This is true of other technology too. For example, I taught my grandparents how to use a videocassette recorder when I was thirteen years old. They did not know what it chould do, and I showed them. Now they use it regularly.
  
  Older people are usually not familiar with youth culture, and younger peole can help here too. This is important because it can help older peole live a more enjoyable life. For example, popular music is generally youth oriented, and older people don’t always listen to it. However, when yougn people teach them about it, they may come to enjoy it. My grandmother, for example never listened to popular music before I introduces her to it. Now she and I listen and dance all the time.
  
  Of course, there are more serious issues about what younger peole can teach older peole. As with computer, today’s childern have grown up knowing about AIDS and school violence. That is not true for older generations. Here, again, children can teach older people about things that are important to everyone.
  
  I know there are people who would say “you can’t teach an older dog new tricks.” However, it’s plain to me that the young have plenty to teach the old if they take the time to try. When they do, I think both will gain a new appreciation for each other.
