Melbourne,
Australia
Melbourne
is
a
hotspot
travel
destination,
and
it's
easy
to
see
its
beautiful
beaches
and
busy
city
life.
Why
it's
a
great
choice:
Australia
as
a
whole
is
considered
a
safe
destination
for
international
travel,
and
because
of
that,
many
solo
travelers
go
there.
As
an
English speaking
country,
you
won't
be
faced
with
any
language
barriers.
Melbourne
is
easy
to
get
around
because
you
can
walk
or
bike
practically
anywhere!
Thailand
Thailand
is
great
for
solo
travelers
—
perhaps
because
it
is
one
of
the
Buddhist
mindsets,
which
promote
equality
among
the
sexes.
Why
it's
a
great
choice：Thailand
is
known
for
its
friendly
atmosphere,
and
as
a
travel
hotspot,
there
are
plenty
of
chances
to
meet
other
like minded
travelers.
Well
known
for
being
very
cheap,
especially
in
the
north.
A
good
choice
if
you
want
to
get
away
on
a
budget.
Thailand
has
a
lot
to
offer,
from
the
party central
Bangkok
to
beautiful
beaches
and
tropical
(热带的)
jungle.
Hong
Kong,
China
Hong
Kong
is
a
great
place
to
relax
for
solo
travelers
as
it
is
full
of
“Zen
Moments”，
such
as
beautiful
gardens
and
Tai
Chi
classes.
Why
it's
a
great
choice：Hong
Kong
is
regarded
as
one
of
the
safest
cities
in
the
world.
If
you're
not
well traveled,
or
perhaps
a
bit
tired
of
things
like
language
barriers,
Hong
Kong
is
a
great
place
to
start,
as
it
mixes
both
Eastern
and
Western
at
the
same
time.
Bali,
Indonesia
Bali
is
a
spiritual
place
with
yoga,
spas,
healthy
food
and
beaches.
The
combination
of
friendly
people
and
splendid
visual
culture
has
made
Bali
number
one
tourist
attraction.
Why
it's
so
great:
you
won't
be
the
only
solo
traveler
in
Bali.
Everyone
is
known
for
being
extremely
friendly
and
you're
sure
to
meet
some
amazing
characters
along
the
way.
As
a
Hindu
island,
Bali
is
the
perfect
place
for
a
relaxing
and
spiritual
retreat
(静修).
The
Sacred
Monkey
Forest
in
Ubud
is
fantastic
—
if
you
like
monkeys,
anyway.

B
(2016·辽宁省实验中学分校阶段性测试)When
should
people
be
made
to
retire
55
65
Should
there
be
a
compulsory
age
limit
Many
old
people
work
well
into
their
70s
and
80s,
running
families,
countries
or
corporations.
Other
people,
however,
despite
being
fit
and
highly
talented,
are
forced
to
retire
in
their
fifties
or
even
earlier
because
of
the
regulations
of
a
company
or
the
nation.
This
essay
will
examine
whether
people
should
be
allowed
to
continue
working
as
long
as
they
want
or
whether
they
should
be
encouraged
to
retire
at
a
particular
stage.
Some
people
think
there
are
several
arguments
for
allowing
older
people
to
continue
working
as
long
as
they
are
able.
First
of
all,
older
employees
have
a
large
amount
of
knowledge
and
experience
which
can
be
lost
to
a
business
or
organization
if
they
are
made
to
retire.
A
second
point
is
that
older
employees
are
often
extremely
loyal
employees
and
are
more
willing
to
carry
out
company
policies
than
younger
less
committed
staff.
However,
a
more
important
point
is
regarding
the
attitudes
in
society
to
old
people.
To
force
someone
to
resign
or
retire
at
60
indicates
that
the
society
does
not
value
the
input
of
these
people
and
that
their
useful
life
is
over.
Age
is
irrelevant
to
a
working
life,
surely
if
older
employees
are
told
they
cannot
work
after
60,
this
is
age
discrimination.
That
they
become
old
does
not
necessarily
mean
they
are
going
to
be
sick.
Old
people
could
be
more
aware,
experienced
and
committed
than
some
youngsters.
Others,
however,
think
that
allowing
older
people
to
work
indefinitely
is
not
a
good
policy.
Age
alone
is
no
guarantee
of
ability.
Old
people
are
only
ambitious
workaholics
who
are
too
selfish
and
self centered
to
believe
that
a
younger
person
could
do
better.
Actually,
many
younger
employees
have
more
experience
or
skills
than
older
staff,
who
may
have
been
stuck
in
one
area
or
unit
for
most
of
their
working
lives.
Having
compulsory
retirement
allows
new
ideas
in
an
organization.
In
addition,
without
age
limits,
however,
many
people
would
continue
to
work
purely
because
they
did
not
have
any
other
plans
or
roles.
A
third
point
of
view
is
that
older
people
should
be
rewarded
by
society
for
their
life's
labor
by
being
given
generous
pensions
and
the
freedom
to
enjoy
their
leisure.
We
now
have
youngsters
who
can't
find
jobs
because
old
people
are
choosing
not
to
retire.
Old
people
are
not
retiring
because
this
new
generation
of
“old
people”
think
they
will
never
die
due
to
modern
advances
in
medicine.
With
many
young
people
unemployed
or
frustrated
in
low level
positions,
there
are
often
calls
to
compulsorily
retire
older
workers.
However,
this
can
affect
the
older
individual's
freedom
and
right
to
work
and
can
deprive
(剥夺)
society
of
valuable
experience
and
insights.
I
feel
that
giving
workers
more
flexibility
and
choice
over
their
retirement
age
will
benefit
society
and
the
individual.

C
Dear
Mr.
Wolfson，
The
purpose
of
this
letter
is
to
inform
you
of
one
of
our
citizens
who
I
believe
should
receive
some
special
recognition
for
dedicated
(敬业的)
community
service.
The
person
I
recommend
is
Elizabeth
Samuelson.
I
believe
you
know
her
in
your
position
as
volunteer
coordinator
(协调员)．
I
have
known
Elizabeth
for
more
than
20
years
as
both
a
friend
and
a
neighbor.
During
that
time
I
have
seen
her
work
tirelessly
on
scores
of
community
projects
and
committees.
As
far
as
I
know,
she
has
never
received
any
kind
of
recognition
from
the
community
for
her
work.
I
believe
she
should
be
given
some
sort
of
special
recognition.
Just
last
year
alone,
she
worked
on
at
least
six
different
community
projects
including
the
Park
Renewal
Project
and
the
Heritage
Homes
Fund Raising
Banquet.
In
addition,
she
is
a
weekly
driver
for
the
Meals on Wheels
program
and
she
visits
patients
in
the
care
unit
on
a
regular
basis.
Whenever
a
project
or
committee
needs
her,
she
will
put
herself
into
the
work
wholeheartedly.
I'm
sure
that
if
you
check
with
a
few
of
your
staff
members
who
have
been
there
over
the
years,
they
will
confirm
Elizabeth's
community
service
record
and
probably
be
able
to
add
many
examples
to
the
few
I
have
given
here.
By
the
way,
Elizabeth
has
no
idea
that
I
am
writing
this.
She
is
a
humble
(谦虚的)
person,
and
if
she
were
aware
of
it,
she
would
not
allow
me
to
send
it.
I
thought
about
writing
such
a
letter
about
her
a
number
of
times
in
the
past
but
just
never
took
action.
Then
last
week,
I
noticed
in
the
paper
that
you
sponsor
(主办)
an
annual
dinner
at
which
dozens
of
awards
are
given
out
to
people
with
much
less
community
service
than
Elizabeth.
In
fact,
I
checked
with
her
and
she
has
never
even
been
invited
to
that
annual
event!
I
urge
you
to
correct
that
omission
(疏忽)
now
and
take
action
to
see
that
Elizabeth
is
properly
recognized
for
her
many
years
of
silent
but
outstanding
service
to
this
community.
Sincerely，
Linda
Sullivan
