と言う訳で、数も少なく、少数精鋭ですら有り ませんが、使えない訳ではない、と言うより十 分に使える、ので出しておきます。

I agree with this statement. If a person who has become 40 wants to change his life, things will never go well. For example, he will not be able to find another job if he has quit his previous one. He will rarely be able to get married. Moreover, it is very difficult to get a degree from a university. In my opinion, what kind of a life a person lives, or what kind of things he can achieve is mainly determined by how much effort he made when he was young. Some young people try very hard to succeed in the future, while others merely enjoy their daily lives without considering their own future. Such differences have little meaning when people are young, but these will get greater as time passes. And by the age of 40, one’s own way of life can be mostly determined. (147words)

I disagree with the statement. That is because some people say that they cannot achieve anything until the age of sixty and others say that they become successful by the age of twenty. For example, Harland Sanders is famous for founding the restaurant, Kentucky Fried Chicken. However, he spent a lot of years make the restaurants famous, and when he first succeeded in his business, he was about sixty years old. On the other hand, we often see the young presidents of the IT companies who seem successful. So I think that the age of forty is not necessarily the turning point which decides whether you achieve something or not. (110 words)

I agree with the statement. Most people have their own job for more than ten years by the age of 40, and have already estimated what their future would be like. In order to achieve some goal in life, people should make efforts in their 20’s and 30’s. I think the age of 40 is the time when the effect of the efforts is appearing. Of course, what a person can achieve in a lifetime is also dependent on other factors, such as his surroundings. However, what he has done in his 20’s and 30’s is one of the essential factors to determine his future. So, by the age of 40, the possibility of achieving some goal is largely determined.
