25、5.Ifs not how old you are,but how you are old.Age is not important;your attitude towards your age and life in genera!is crucial.In a situation to encourage somebody to he more optimistic towards life.The speaker is almost certainly optimistic;the suggestion is that there are many ways to be oldand s

26、ome of them are good.6.He that in youth no virtue uses,in age all honor him refuses.Be virtuous when you are young if you want respect later in life.Perhaps in a context where an older person wants to give friendly advice to a youngster whenthe younger person is wondering about the right course of a

34、t a humorous,philosophical,non-serious view;or the opposite,a mournful cry.12.By living long we learn to live.(Italian)Experience(living long)teaches us how to live well.Again,perhaps it is more likely to be written than spoken.Experiences over many years are seen as blessings and benefits.13.If one

38、at thirty they are brave,at forty they carry heavy burdens,at fifty they twist andturn and cant be trusted,at sixty they are loyal,at seventy they are wise,at eighty they arenothing.As its rather long,it is more likely to be part of a written paper.Now it could be said byanybody at any stage but pro

45、ugh using English.The task does not necessarilyrequire an elaborate grammar or the use of complex grammar.It does require logical andimaginative thinking and clear,perhaps simple,expression.Teachers may find it useful to askstudents to work in pairs and choose different paradoxes and write down thei
