V.I.Lenin said that “Learn, learn more and more”. It means that people should study incessantly in spire of their age. Therefore, old people also need to learn more knowledge. They can learn from books, their predecessor, or even from their offsprings. However, there is a statement that only old people teach the young and there is no the opposite direction.

He is a doctor of National Academy of Public Administration in Ho Chi Minh City. He is teaching classes which include government officials, who are older than him. Although my uncle is younger, they still respect him and learn from him lots of things.
Secondly, in daily life, young people can teach older generation many things that they donot know or know a little. An excellent example of this is technology.

Furthermore, not only do old people know a little about modern devices but also they donot know much about internet. In the past, our parents’ generation communicated with each other by
