Example 

                                                 Living up to 100 years old of age

More and more new products are being invented to reduce aging. But, can we really
slow aging?. I think that living up to 100 years of age has more disadvantages than
advantages.

On the one hand, when you are old, everything is more complicated and you tend to get
sick easily.
It is also possible for us to be present at the death of other relatives. This is very sad.

On the other hand, living up to 100 years old also has advantages, you are part of the
oldest people in the world!. In addition, you could meet most of your family such as
your great-grandchildren.

In conclusion, it would be interesting to live more than 100 years old as long as you can
have a good physical and mental health.
