LIFE
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 centre 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.
