You should spend about 40 minutes on this task.

Some people think that the teenage years are the happiest of our lives, while others believe that adult life brings more happiness.

Discuss both these views and give your own opinion.

Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge or experience.

Sample Answer 1:
Happiness is very hard to define and it varies from person to person. While some people strive for economic success and a good social life and think that those are the main ingredient for happiness, on the contrary people who already have amassed enough riches and enjoy a good social and personal life thinks other aspects of life for being happy. The issue whether teenage times are the happiest part of our lives or not is a debatable issue and people are divided in their opinion regarding this. According to another group, adult part of the life is happier part of our lives. In my opinion, both groups have their reasoning and happiness is a state of mind that can be achieved in both parts of the life.

Teen ages are the ages of dream, freedom and recklessness. This is the period when most of the teenagers do not have greater responsibilities like adult people and they enjoy lives full of joys, dream, vision. Less complexity of life touches the teenagers and the struggles they face often get redeemed with time. The harsh cruelty and complexity of life rarely touch the teenagers and they live a life which is often better than the adult people around them. Yet, this is not always true; many teenagers struggle a lot to support their family and suffer from psychological issues that might make their lives pretty complex. They mostly depend on their parents for money and are mostly guided by their parents for decisions. There are many untouched parts of life that they can’t enjoy and on the other hand that makes them less stressful. They enjoy a sound physical condition and rarely suffer from illness related to old ages.

On the contrary, adult life offers more economic freedom in one hand and on the contrary many unavoidable responsibilities. The grown-up people decide their journey of life themselves and this is a freedom very few teenagers enjoy. The happiness a father feels while playing with his sons and daughters is unimaginable for a teenager. On the contrary, the suffering a father or a mother endures on their hearts for the well-being of their children is also inconceivable for teenagers. The work pressure, the responsibility, the physical conditions, the complexities and harsh reality of life make the matured life often unbearable and those people consider their teenage part as the happiest part of their life.

Old times are good times and this is true for all of us. We revere the bygone times and the present is the reality which is not always smooth. In my opinion, life is as it is and being able to happy is not abide by any rules or times. Our head is a place where we can make the hell into the heaven and both earlier ages and grown up ages of our lives have their offering for being happy. We need to decide whether we want to be happy and contented with whatever we have or complain about the life.

 

Sample Answer 2:
It is quite clear that life stands for various meanings depending on people. On the one hand, there is a school of thought that we have a great chance to have the feeling of happiness in teen years, on the other hand, there are some those who maintain that adult life provides us with the opportunity of happiness. The merits of these both arguments will be analysed before a conclusion is decided upon.

Firstly, it is believed that people under eighteen enjoy life considerably more than mature ones. For example, their duties consist of going to school, playing outside with their peers, in addition to this, when they want some items like toys, bicycle as well as edible stuff like an ice cream are provided by their parents. Besides, they are not responsible for some issues such as family-relating and financial problems.  As a result, all these factors contribute them to get pleasure from life more than people over 18. Thus, the heightened benefits of this point can be clearly seen.

However, some argue that there is a wide range of things which only adults have a chance to take advantage of them. To make my opinion crystal clear, I can give an example from my country: if you feel like joining any entertainment clubs or bars, you do not have any access to those places unless you are 18 plus. Besides that, middle-aged people are good at understanding life. As a consequence, all these features lead to happiness. Therefore, it is said that adulthood years are happier than that of childhood. However, the merits of this opinion are hard to support.

After looking at these two opposing views, it is felt that we tend to possess joyful times, days, years in childhood, it is hoped that children will be probably encouraged by their parents to have a great time in their childhood. Life is not always a bowl of cherries.
