【题目要求】
The trend of the proportion of older people is increasing steadily. Is it positive or negative to society?【题目翻译】
在很多国家，老年人所占的比重正在逐渐上升。你认为这对于社会的好处大于坏处吗？
【关键词分析】
older people
“老年人”有很多说法，这个词在文章中肯定会多次出现，因此一定要做好同义替换准备。elderly people, the elderly,pensioners, senior citizens都可以，但要少用old people.
ageing society (Br.E.) / aging society (Am.E.)
老龄化社会，这个词是必备的社会学术语。这个词虽然没有在题目中出现，但是考生一定会在正文中用到这个词。

【话题分类与题型】
本题是老题，与2006年2月11日的真题完全一致，与2010年3月6日的话题也基本相同。属于社会类话题的“人口结构与老龄化”分支。题型为议论文中的“利弊分析”。
【话题评价】
社会类话题今年考的频率异常偏少，上一次考社会类话题是在2011年2月19日（妇女是否应当参军），因此这次话题完全在预料当中。本话题难度较小，考生应该不会感到无话可说。

【结构与思路】
利弊分析型的文章结构比较简单，一般只需罗列其好处坏处，结论段提出简单的解决方法即可。通常认为，老龄化社会的坏处可能要比它带来的好处更多，因此可以弱写好处段，重点放在负面影响上。
文章用词灵活多样，学术词汇使用也比较准确；作者句法基础不错，可适当增加复杂句的使用；文章层次较为清晰。
Due to the high pressure working environment and raising living expenses, many youngs have postponed their marriage and the time to give birth a child. On the other hand, the highly developed medical technology can now heal more diseases which used to be seen as cureless. The result was an aging society, which is one challenge faced by many countries around the world. Aging society is commonly known to be negative to a county's economy. For one thing, aging society means more elderly people have reached their retirement age, they will live upon the pensions which either offered by the state finance or by the private company. All of which will impose a heavy burden on the society. For another, the young generations will not only need to shoulder the responsibility of taking care of the two pair of parents of their own with less demographic dividend, but also should sacrifice most of their income to ensure the huge group of elderly people to live a better life. This may impose huge pressure on them and low their happiness, which seems unfair. To tackle this problem,a common strategy adopted for the governments is to postpone people's retirement age, and encourage people to have more babies. Many people may feel reluctantly to put off their retirements, but this is inevitable. To encourage young people to have more babies also means more financial incentives and preferential policies, but the young people still have to pay more to support their babies. All in all, both the young and the old would suffer in an aging society. To conclude, census is absolutely necessary in modern society. Based on that, strategic policies will be issued by the government to shape the population structure. By doing so, we are hoping to get rid of an aging society in the future or soon.
