托福写作题目：学习新东西对于老年人的好处
学习新东西对于老年人的好处
While retirement may seem like the perfect time to put your feet up, learning new things could boost your brain power(健脑) at old age. Retirement usually coincides with(意味着) the start of the natural decline in brain power and the switch from busy work life to the slower pace of old age(从工作生活切换到慢节奏的老年生活) can leave a void needing to be filled with tasks that are mentally stimulating. In other words, the slowdown in activity when people start drawing their pension means the brain is used less and less, having long-term implications for(有长期的影响) its ability to perform properly. However, learning a new language and socializing with strangers are mentally engaging and enjoyable so that your brainpower is preserved during retirement. Accordingly, keeping the brain active can keep mental deterioration at bay(阻止脑力衰弱) and even stave off(避免) depression.
