2018年5月19日托福独立写作范文解析：锻炼身体对老年人比对年轻人更重要

## 2018年5月19日托福独立写作题目 Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? Physical exercise is more important to old people than to young people. ## 范文 It is universally acknowledged that physical exercise is conducive to physical health in boosting metabolism, maintaining weight and releasing pressure. However, there is a debate on whether it is more important for young people or old people to do physical activities. In my point of view, I think it is more important to do physical exercises for young people than old people. My viewpoint is based on the following reasons and examples. First of all, young people shoulder more significant social responsibilities, which demand a sound physique as foundation. Carrying the duty of raising children, taking care of parents and paying taxes to support the operation of the whole society, young people are expected to make more contributions. Thus a strong physical condition is more crucial for them. At the critical stage of building career success, they are commonly undertaking overwhelming workload, resulting in excessive fatigue and pressure. After going some sports, a person’s cardiovascular system is enhanced during the exercises, and the blood circulation would become more efficient. These intensify their resistance against fatigue. Moreover, physical exercises allow young people to shift their concentration from work to breathing or muscle building. The mental relaxation is particularly essential for the young. Besides, physical exercise conduces to a good body shape, which can add to personal attractiveness. A good figure represents a healthy, reliable and confident personal image, which is essential for young people not only in their career development, but also in seeking spouses. Many of my friends say that they are more easily to have a good first impression for those with nice figure, which indicates their self-discipline, optimistic attitudes and healthy lifestyle. Everyone can be attracted by such personality, and physical exercise can contribute to it. Admittedly, I am not denying that old people also need physical exercises to resist invasion of various diseases. However, many elderly do not have a body condition strong enough to stand up to the physical exercise or can easily get injured during intensive exercises, in which way excessive workout might yield a counterproductive result. For old people, body conditioning through appropriate diet and injury prevention are more important than physical exercise. To sum up, doing physical exercise is more important for young people than old people, It is because physical activities not only contribute to good physical condition for them to work hard to fulfill their social responsibilities, but also establish personal attractiveness crucial for career development and interpersonal interaction. ## 范文思路 这道题问：大家是否同意，身体锻炼对老年人比对年轻人更重要。 开头段：锻炼身体对年轻人更重要。 中间段1：年轻人担负更多社会责任，需要健康的身体作为支撑。 中间段2：锻炼身体有利于帮助年轻人塑造良好的身材。 让步段：并不是老年人不需要身体锻炼，而是高强度锻炼让老年人吃不消，会容易让老年人受伤。对于老年人来说，合理的饮食和防止受伤比锻炼身体更重要。 结尾段：重申观点+归纳理由/升华主题。 ## 高分词汇句型 1. conduce to: 有助於产生(help to bring sth about) 2. workout:练习比赛(a period of physical exercise or training) 3. counterproductive:产生相反效果；事与愿违；适得其反(having the opposite effect to the one which was intended)
