Some people think that it is beneficial for old people to learn something new while others believe that once a person is past 65 years of age it is too late to learn. What is your opinion?

In recent years, it has been far more normal for elder people to go to college to learn subjects they like, particularly in large cities in the developed world. However, many people support that it is too late to study. In my opinion, people should establish the concept of lifelong learning. These are various reasons why people believe that it is too late to study. They assert that the various functions of the human body will constantly decline with the increase of age. And with the continuous development of technology, it is difficult for elder people to understand new things in life. A person who is too old, for example, will need more time and more energy to complete his or her study tasks, due to the aging brain. It would be a serious challenge for their bodies and minds. Besides, elder people need peaceful minds to keep healthy, stressful learning is not suitable for the elder people. Although learning tasks are a big challenge for the elderly, lifelong learning can be seen as a good development to their personal life. On an individual's level, learning things that the elder people like could improve their knowledge. Learning causes good progress. No matter how old people are, learning is the best gift to them. On the other hand, learning could practice their mental ability. It could slow the brain’s aging speed, which is certainly for elder people's minds. As a result, lifelong learning can certainly be seen as a good way to help elder people. In conclusion, learning is a big challenge for elder people, but people should establish the concept of lifelong learning.
