参考范文：

Opinions are divided over the issue of retirement. In the essay, two major and opposite views will be fully expounded.

Some argue that the age of sixty five should be the limit to working. First and foremost, seniors above sixty five won’t have enough strength and energies to continue the hard work of sitting about six or seven hours in front of computers, let alone physical labor. What’s more, earlier retirement of the elders means more job vacancies for the youngsters who otherwise have no opportunities to flex their muscles. Low employment rates may bring a large group of vigorous young people idling around doing nothing. Last but not least, the aged can stay in home, looking after their grandchildren for the parents who have to work all the money to earn more bread.

Others, however, insist that people should be given full rights when it comes the issue of retirement. Occupation provides senior citizens an opportunity to give full play to their abilities, so that they could feel still needed and valued by the society. More importantly, by keeping the position, the aged are able to pass on their experience to the callow who can stand on the shoulders of predecessors rather than do research on what have already been discovered. Another more practical reason for elders to continue working is to lessen the financial burden for the families because young parents could at least set aside no money for the aged.

In a nutshell, it depends totally on the seniors to determine whether to abandon working or not and when to go back home entirely, after them taking into account factors such as the mental and physical health of individuals, the needs of the corporations and the demands of the families.
