2018年托福口语考试题库：现在社会对年轻人太严苛了?

　　“The rules that societies expect young people to abide by are too strict.” Discuss.同意或不同意：今天整个社会对年轻人遵循和服从的规则太严格了。

　　Many young people think that the rules that govern their lives are too strict. I totally disagree with this view. I feel this way for the following reasons.

　　First, compared to our elder generation, we have a lot more freedom. Generally speaking, we can do whatever we want. The fact that most of us can choose our favorite field to major in is just one of many examples. Moreover, due to widespread use of the Internet, we can get full access to whatever information we are interested in.

　　For those who believe the rules are too strict, here’s some more ammunition to support my argument. If there were no such rules to make us behave ourselves, more crimes would be committed and instances of drug abuse and alcoholism would skyrocket.

　　All in all, the young need to be more heavily restricted, not less.

　　许多年轻人认为规则对他们太严格了，但是我完全不同意这种观点，第一，和我们的前辈相比，我们有更多的自由。我们可以做任何我们想做的事，例如，我们可以选择我们最喜欢的专业。此外，由于因特网的广泛使用，我们可以充分利用我们感兴趣的任何信息。在这方面，我们制定了较少的规则来阻止我们的新事物。第二，对于那些认为规则太严格的人来说，这是我的弹药，可以把它们变成现实世界。如果没有这样的规矩来惩罚我们，就会有更多的犯罪行为，还会有更多的酗酒和吸毒者存在。
