英语自学网

　　As for elderly， living in caring house is better than living at home with
young children. Present your argument to illustrate whether you agree or
disagree.
        　　Nowadays more and more elderly choose living in caring house. Some people
are of the opinion that caring houses provide old people with a better
environment than homes. Personally I agree with this opinion for the following
reasons. In the first instance， caring house provides the elderly with
comparatively first-rate facilities and services， which the family is lacking
in. Nowadays working couple need to face intense competition， they need to make
more money to support their family. As a result， working couple have less time
to care for old people especially when the elderly suffer from serious disease.
On the contrary， when old people live in caring houses， nurses can attend their
need and advanced facilities also provide a good treatment.
        　　Secondly， in caring houses the older people can meet people of similar age
group， taste and hobby who know more about the elderly. The young generation
often has a different life style from old generation. Young people many feel
other's presence would upset. Besides， the older people need more serenity and
rest while the young need more activities when the elderly choose living in
caring house they need not worry about this problem. Last but not least， elder
people living in caring house can maintain harmony of family atmosphere. It is
quite obvious that there is a generation gap between the older people and adult
children. For example， old people fear change. They adhere to the traditional
principle and customs while young people welcome new idea. They are always
trying new things. It is inevitable that older people and adult children might
have different opinions on something. These differences might result in the
disagreement even discord.
        　　From what has been discussed above， we may draw the conclusion that elderly
people living in caring house is a good practice not only for adult children but
also for older people. However， it does not mean children will give up the
responsibility to care older people.
