If we were to live 150 years, we could enjoy our life better, for we could spend such a long time doing what we want to do. Many people often say life is too short to live as we like, but if we were to have as long as 150 years to live, we could make the best use of the time to enjoy life. Also, we could solve the problem of labor shortage because there would be much more people who can work than now. On the other hand, there would be some disadvantages of living so long. For example, we would simply be tired of living so long, having done all things we want to do and having nothing to do any more in our life. What’s worse, humans would face a food shortage resulting from a population explosion in the world. I think these are the advantages and disadvantages of living longer. (155 words)
/ As general medicine is improving year by year, our average lifespan is increasing. If we can live longer, we can spend more time on what we want to do. The biggest advantage we would have is the amount of time. We would be allowed to use it to do whatever we want. While some people would use it for fun, some would use it to study more, which would lead to the development of technology or the improvement of our economy. On the other hand, if each of us lives longer, the overall population would increase, which might cause environmental problems. In that case, this planet might become a place where we can no longer lead healthy lives. Thus, living longer has both advantages and disadvantages. If we can reduce the disadvantages, living longer lives might be good for us. (140 words)
