　　【参考范文】：

　　Since any individual, whether young or old, will encounter various problemsand troubles throughout the whole life, it is certainly necessary to consultothers for suggestions and solutions. Nowadays many young people hold thatadvice from their peers is usually more valuable than that from people of olderage, because people at the same age are more likely to understand theirsituation. However, as far as I am concerned, it is a wise move to listen to theolder people’s suggestions, because rich experience and profound knowledgeaccumulated by older people will offer us a proper guidance in many ways,especially in the aspects of receiving education and hunting for a job.

　　First of all, consider the educational issue. Obviously, students areconstantly faced with various upcoming problems and puzzles in the course offurthering their study. As for high school students, the would-beundergraduates, how to successful apply for an ideal university and choose apromosing major usually matters a lot. In order to unravel the above puzzels,they had better consult those people of older age who will give advices such aspassing TOEFL with top score and participating various extracurricularactivities. In fact, the above experience is exclusive to those who haveundergone the whole process of applying for university. Also, as newcomersentering college or universities, the freshmen are usually confronted withvarious troubles while embarking on the brandnew campus life. To be specific,some students from disadvantaged families may be concerned about how to gainscholarship from school. The sophermores and junior students are likely toprovide practical instructions instead of their classmates.

　　Furthermore, the same logic can apply to job-hunting. After leavingschools, graduates will enter the highly competitive job market. Due to the lackof knowledge of the real working environment, they are in great need ofinstructions and suggestions from senior employees. To be specific, senioremployees can hold a interview training, in which students will be informed ofhow to dress up, how to write a resume and how to respond to the questions frominterviewers. Also, the skills of communicating efficiently with the employersand the ability to get along well with co-workers will be imparted to potentialemployees. On the contrary, people at the same age with us are also still feelconfused about how to seek an ideal job, thus reducing the value of thesuggestion given by them.

　　Admittedly, the generation gap between us and people of older age may posesan obstruction to communication between them. However, the above claim is farfrom the truth. With the improvement of educational background on the part ofthe elder, they are able to guide yongsters in a more acceptable way and thusthe gap between the younger and the older can be well bridged.

　　In conclusion, the advice from the elder is of greater value than that fromthe peers, especially when we meet problems in education and career.
