话说，题目真的老长了，据说是两个版本，不过不重要，重点是小编会给你们都分析好，拿好小板凳开始学习啦咳咳咳······

---这部分才是需要支持or反驳的观点，也就是直接论证的话题要点。
「核心提炼」一些高科技公司，尤其是在引进了新技术和新设备后，要求年轻员工指导老员工。
Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? Why? Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer.
---这三句话点明了考生需要做的事情，即支持or反驳，并给出reasons和examples论证自己的观点。
「思路点拨」
关于年轻员工与老员工的对比，其实托福考试之前有过很多相关考题，所以考生可以先从宏观思路的角度brainstorm一下年轻人和老年人各自扮演的role和importance。而之前我们见过的题目Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? There is nothing that young people can teach older people. Use specific reasons and examples to support your position.和本题就比较类似，其中一个论述要点就是：年轻人是否可以教老年人。如果可以，那么可以教哪方面（比如这篇文章，就是缩小在科技层面上）。
「思路拓展」
我们先从老年人能教年轻人 & 年轻人能教老年人的两个维度分别思考一下～
老员工指导新员工：老员工经验足，实战能力强，在实操的过程中能比年轻人更快地掌握新科技和熟练新设备的使用。
新员工指导老员工：新员工头脑灵活，与时俱进，对很多新科技和设备都有一定的了解，这有助于他们对新科技和新设备操作的熟悉度。
