Everyone has different manners in* responding to their fear, (which) depending on their ages, educations and even genders. We will have discussion about this as follows: 

Vocabulary:

1.depend on + n. (vi)取決於
2.gender (n)性別
3.discussion (n)討論

Phrase:

1.as follows 如下

Generally speaking, the smaller in age people are, the more immediately they express their emotion to* fear. For instance, infants, who are not so complicated yet, burst* out emotion much faster to fear than children or adults, when feeling afraid. But for adults and seniors, not only are they tough in adversity but also they can become wise to figure out the solution; besides, they have plenty of life experiences as well; they may be more reserved than infants or children. Educations also do an important part in* affecting their response to fear. The higher education people have, the more facial images they are concerned about*; therefore, if meeting something serious situations, the man who has higher education may hide his fear and pretend to be as* calm as (it is) usual. And the gender also would be a factor in* influencing people responding to fear; in the traditional concept of gender, a man must be brave to face any fright he meets; on the other hand, when facing fear, a woman may more* easily weep than a man. Furthermore, the situation or role playing may turn a person (to be) braver. For example, in order to protect her child from injury, a mother, afraid as she is, dares* to faces all difficulties and overcomes them bravely. However, children (who) under much care may lead him tend to escape from any trouble big or even small, when in fear.
