托福考試的備考，作文是不能忽略的重點。尤其是託福作文經常會與一些社會上的熱點話題聯絡在一起。因此考生在備考時，可多練習一些熱點話題的託福寫作。下面為大家帶來一篇討論祖父母與年輕人的`2017託福寫作範文，供大家參考。
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whether a job is good or not has changed a lot so that the advice from grandparents about choosing a decent job is outdated.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：託福寫作點撥：結尾要體現思想的深度，paraphrase的功底以及適當的肯定。
一坨屎應該最恨第一段和最後一段幾乎一模一樣的作文了。你們看到這種作文會不會也很火大?所以寫出好結尾是最難也最能抓分的。
[屁股]的意見：
1)思想深度不用講。如果有，把那句意味深長、富有哲理的話放到段落最後，引起人們無限的遐思。這個思路和中文寫作是一樣的。如果沒有名人名言，可以自己寫。或陳述或反問或引用。總比萬年不變的“therefore, I think we should choose work in the office instead of at home.”要好得多。
2)據某大神說，結尾的段首承認一下反方觀點存在一定的道理會有驚喜~大家考試可以試一試。體現我們“風度”和“critical thinking”的大好時機。
3)paraphrase自己的觀點切勿原搬照抄段首!大忌阿!實在沒時間也只能是下下策，但是動詞、語態你總要改一改吧，不然這樣的結尾也給高分，那是太便宜你了。最好的方法是把主題提高一個層次。比如說“我們需要堅持聽課，不翹課”可以在段尾寫成，每天認真聽課是學習進步的不二法門這種。上升一個境界。不要過於死摳一坨屎給的arguement。
