Recently, ELTiCenter has organized a Lucky Drawing Contest throught a survey on personal’ opinions about the old age with three following questions:
- At what age do you think a person is old?
- At what age do you think a man is old?
- At what age do you think a woman is old?
The questions in this “Drawing Contest” are taken from an article in AARP: The Magazine, February/ 2014.
The survey attracted many participants at various ages, mostly the young at the age between 19 and 23.
And these are the most common results summarized from participants’ answers:
A person is old at the age of: 50-55 or 60-65
A man is old at the age of: 40-45 or 50-59
A woman is old at the age of: 30-35 or 50-59
As you can see from the results above, it seems that the young are very optimistic ones who are not afraid of the old age.
Once more special thing is that most young woman at around their twenty think that they will get old at the age of around 30 and 35. (Women are a little worried about their beauty in the future, right?)

A person is old when their physical health is no longer good anymore; therefore, it might depend on that person. Moreover, in our Vietnamese traditional culture, we define the "old" person, when he/she has so many life experience, and he/she becomes successful in their life.
Using number to define how old a person is not a good idea at all.
