托福考试的备考，作文是不能忽略的重点。尤其是托福作文经常会与一些社会上的热点话题联系在一起。因此考生在备考时，可多练习一些热点话题的托福写作。下面为大家带来一篇讨论祖父母与年轻人的`2017托福写作范文，供大家参考。

　The advice from grandparents have no use for their grandchildren because the world has changed a lot during the past 50 years.

Throughout the gradual changes occurring to the whole human society, the value of advice from the older generation has become one of the most controversial issues among the general public. Many youngsters are the strong supporters of the claim that the huge changes in the past half century has made the suggestions from grandparents useless. As far as I am concerned, the advice from the senior is not worth following, which is particularly true of hunting for an ideal job and receiving education.

To begin with, consider the job-hunting. With the further specification of industries, an increasing amount of new careers and job position are created, some of which are out of the understanding of the old people. For example, because of the remarkable booming of internet companies, the professional video gamers, which are considered inferior by the senior, has become a job which enjoy great popularity among the young. As a result, the standard of judging whether a job is good or not has changed a lot so that the advice from grandparents about choosing a decent job is outdated. According to a survey conducted by a newspaper titiled China Daily among 1,000 people aged over 60 about the ideal job they consider, more than 95% of the surveyed vote for the so-called iron-bowl jobs such as teachers and civil servants, which has become obsolete to some extent. Therefore, the lack of knowledge about the modern job markets makes grandparents unable to provide feasible guidance for their grandchildren.

Furthermore, the same logic can apply to the issue of getting educated. For one thing, with the advances in technology, the ways of obtaining knowledge have become diverse and various, with the result that grandparents are not accustomed to these ways. For instance, it quite common to see that pupils learn English by watching English movies played on the computers. However, grandparents may ban such behaviors of their grandchildren by claiming that using computer can do nothing but waste their time and do harm to their vision. For another, the further specification of majors in college or universities make the knowledge imparted to students today quite different from that gained by grandparents 50 years equently, their suggestions about the major-choosing of the young people may be misleading.

Taking what has been discussed above into account, I can draw the conclusion that the advice from grandparents is not useful any more for their grandchildren for the past 50 years has witnessed so many changes especially in education and employment.

　附：托福写作点拨：结尾要体现思想的深度，paraphrase的功底以及适当的肯定。

一坨屎应该最恨第一段和最后一段几乎一模一样的作文了。你们看到这种作文会不会也很火大?所以写出好结尾是最难也最能抓分的。

[屁股]的意见：

1)思想深度不用讲。如果有，把那句意味深长、富有哲理的话放到段落最后，引起人们无限的遐思。这个思路和中文写作是一样的。如果没有名人名言，可以自己写。或陈述或反问或引用。总比万年不变的“therefore, I think we should choose work in the office instead of at home.”要好得多。

2)据某大神说，结尾的段首承认一下反方观点存在一定的道理会有惊喜~大家考试可以试一试。体现我们“风度”和“critical thinking”的大好时机。

3)paraphrase自己的观点切勿原搬照抄段首!大忌阿!实在没时间也只能是下下策，但是动词、语态你总要改一改吧，不然这样的结尾也给高分，那是太便宜你了。最好的方法是把主题提高一个层次。比如说“我们需要坚持听课，不翘课”可以在段尾写成，每天认真听课是学习进步的不二法门这种。上升一个境界。不要过于死抠一坨屎给的arguement。
