Read the text and answer the questions.

HELPING THE ELDERLY
Many old people are very lonely because they do not have families, or their families do not keep in
touch with them. This can cause them to get depressed. Nowadays, some elderly people live
together in special places known as retirement homes or old people´s homes. For this reason, a
new practice to help elderly people in old people´s homes is becoming very popular. For example,
sometimes small children from kindergartens come to play with them for a few hours a day. This
makes the old people very happy, and, at the same time, the little children are happy to be the
center of attention. There is another option for students who need a place to live. As they are
students, they cannot pay high rent so instead they volunteer to help elderly people: they cook for
them, get them things from the supermarket, or simply keep them company in exchange for a
place to live.

Questions:
Why are many old people lonely?

R// Older people feel lonely because their families push them away, or sometimes because their
romantic partner has passed away.

In your words, what is a retirement home?

R// A retirement home is a place where older people are taken to be cared for.

What is the new practice at some retirement homes?

R// the new practice is to host students who have nowhere to stay and in return they help the
elderly in whatever they need.

Why is it good for students to live with elderly people?

R// It is good because older people have many experiences and can advise young people so that
they do not make mistakes.

Answer the questions with your own ideas:

How often do you visit your grandparents?

R// My grandparents passed away a long time ago, but if they were with me I would visit them all
the time.

What do you think of the ideas in the text?

R// They are great ideas; this not only benefits the elderly but also the young.

Where do you think elderly people should live?

R// Older people should live with their families and not apart from the people they love.
