范文及解析

Introduction

Taking regular exercise, as is universally acknowledged, plays midwife to helping old people keep physical fitness, while most of them, in spite of strong recommendation from doctors, still fail to take ample exercises. Behind such a ticklish problem, from my own perspective, are three predominant factors and viable solutions are in desperate need to avert the bleak future.

解析

本次task 2是新考题，但是整体难度并不大，审题注意限定词older people；

play midwife to v.促成;帮助；

ticklish adj.不安定的；难对付的；

viable adj.可望成功的，切实可行的；

avert v.防止，避免；

bleak adj.不乐观的；

Body 1

Primarily, much as many elders are pleased to enjoy their twilight years, it does not look feasible since most youngsters, bread winners in families, are swamped with work under this cut-throat competition,under which circumstance, their parents will voluntarily help them with chores and minister to their grandchildren. Consequently, hardly do they have sufficient time to take sports. Another major contributing factor would have much to do with the transformed lifestyles of the elderly. Unlike the past when people have limited forms of entertainment, the current digital era is saturated with intriguing activities, ranging from surfing the internet to shooting off to see amusing videos, which tightly grip the old's attention. Benefited from its online convenience and diversity, the old will be indisposed to step out for exercises. Undeniable is also the fact that the lack of tailored recreational amenities in the vicinity of residence will dampen the the old's zeal for taking sports. To illustrate, with a swimming pool being kilometers away, swimming would only be a wild wish.

In order to address the prickly problem of inadequate physical exercise among elderly, the government should play a leading role by earmarking funds to proffering more age-appropriate sports facilities with either installing handrails or perfecting walking path ,which are expected to give the old easier access to recreational areas, opening up more opportunities for them to join in activities like jogging and hiking. Apart from fiscal policy from the government, disseminating information through public service advertising, community centers and senior organizations is also of tangible boons in boosting the awareness concerning the significance of physical health.
