P8 托福iBT考试作文真题 2006年9月15日托福iBT考试作文真题 Integrated Writing Many Americans choose to retire in their late fifties instead of mid-sixties as people would normally do. This phenomenon is called "early retirement" and according to recent studies held by sociologists, this trend will continue for a couple of reasons. Paradoxically, "vast working experiences", which were believed to be the precious assets of old workers, were turned against them. This is because after many decades of working on the same position and dealing with similar situations, employees in their fifties feel bored of going to offices every day. Therefore, retiring early seems to be a luring remedy for exhausted old workers. Also, older employees tend to have greater difficulties in dealing with younger colleagues. After twenty or even thirty years of career life, many senior workers find out that most of their former working fellows have either retired or transferred to other companies. Getting familiar with younger colleagues usually takes longer and appears to be more difficult for senior workers, which further explains why many staffs decide to retire early. In addition, as their age furthers up the ladder, older staffs usually undergo tougher experiences to keep up with the "work pace" of their younger coworkers. Feeling stressed and frustrated, senior workers may also desire a less demanding after-retirement lifestyle.
