Yesterday, our teacher asked us when people could be considered old. David said that when people got wrinkles (皱纹). However, Mary didn’t 31 . She thought people might gain wrinkles at an earlier age because of their 32 work. Then Lily said that those 33 their 60s or more could be called old people. This time, Emily expressed her doubt. She said that some old people might 34 be full of energy and working on their dreams, which made them appear 35 .The class was over and the teacher asked me to continue to 36 it after class.
The question 37 me of a saying of J.Barrymore: a man isn’t old 38 he is pursuing (追求 ) something.
My grandma is such a woman who 39 her dream even when she’s 70 now. She has kept her dream of being a painter since she was a little child. 40 , because her family was poor, she had to 41 her dream. She had to work to raise money so as to 42 her family. Although she had never forgotten her dream, she could hardly find any 43 to make it come true because of the tough work. Fortunately, a(n) 44 came when she retired from her work. She 45 taking painting lessons even though she was already old. At first, I was 46 her idea of attending school at such an old age, but after seeing her paint happily and enjoyably, I began feeling it a good 47 .She looks fine and seems 48 .
So if we have our dreams and try to 49 them, we aren’t old. If we don’t know what we want and let regrets be the 50 point of our lives, then we can be considered old.
