Some people think that it is beneficial for old people to learn something new while others believe that once a person is past 65 years of age it is too late to learn. What is your opinion?

✨ Do you want to improve your IELTS writing?
I am of the opinion that the elderly, or specific individuals aged 65 or more should be highly encouraged to continue to learn despite their age. To support
this
Linking Words
argument, I have two reasons;
firstly
Linking Words
, they tend to be the loneliest community;
lastly
Linking Words
, they will now have the opportunity to express themselves more. These reasons would be elaborated more in the following paragraphs.
To begin
Linking Words
with, I have come across some articles that reported about how most population aged 65+ felt lonely as in majority they are have retired from work and have nothing left to do
besides
Linking Words
doing chores.
This
Linking Words
problem, indeed, can be solved with some support from the family, in any way that they could help themselves fill up their day.
Hence
Linking Words
, they have some activities to do, and not just sit on the couch all day. It is best to embrace them and give them some approach to learning new things,
such
Linking Words
as learning a new physical activity like yoga, or martial arts.
This
Linking Words
way, not only will they have the opportunity to have a healthy body, but
also
Linking Words
they will become a part of a community.
Hence
Linking Words
, the result would be extraordinary, they will get to know more people, and they would be able to socialize with the other elderly around them. I suppose
this
Linking Words
is a win-win solution for the old community.
Secondly
Linking Words
, when people reach their old age, they tend to have a lot of savings
as a result
Linking Words
of so many years of working.
In addition
Linking Words
, they
also
Linking Words
have the time, and nobody would ever come around to ask him a favour or ask to do piles of work anymore, as they used to.
Therefore
Linking Words
,
this
Linking Words
is a perfect time to explore more about their interest in life,
such
Linking Words
as finding a new hobby, travelling all over the world, or even learning how to do equestrian.
In other words
Linking Words
, they could do whatever activity that they find really appealing, but sadly they couldn't do it before due to their business at work, or any other concerns, including some activities that don't produce money. To sum up, as one of the young generations, I reckon it is definitely best to let our seniors get to learn, albeit they have reached elderly, with the purpose that they will live happier and fulfilled, in ways that they are free from loneliness, and they will
also
Linking Words
be able to express themselves more.

Word Count

IELTS says that you should write a minimum of 250 words in writing task 2. If you go under word count you will lose marks in task response.

A very long essay will not give you a higher band score.

Aim for between 260 to 290 words in writing task 2. This will ensure a concise essay and will be realistic in terms of time management. You have only 40 minutes to write the essay and you need around 10 minutes of planning time, so you will not be able to write a long essay in 30 minutes.
