8.What impacts do children have on old people?

　　Children will have tremendous positive impacts on seniors, in my view. Heading to their end and enduring various physical inconvenience, old people tend to feel sorry for themselves and sometimes regard life as pointless. However, children, the future generations, inject their life with hope and fun. Also, the young are often the experts of a wide range of electronic devices, so they can teach the aged about the latest technology.

　　9.Do you like living with old people?

　　Not really, to be frank. I would like to live by myself. The reason is very simple, living alone is especially free for me. I don’t eat dinner because I want to keep fit and in shape, but living with old people who are often passionately preparing the meals requires one to eat them all to show respect. Also, I am accustomed to reading late in night, which might disturb the schedule of my grandparents who are used to sleeping earlier at about nine o’clock.

　　10.Do old people always lavish their care on children?

　　Not really. That still depends on every individual. I have seen those grandparents who spoil their grandchildren by satisfying every need and request of the kids. Consequently, these juveniles become quite wilful and impolite. Also, there are seniors who love the kids with heart and soul, but they do have principles. If the child lies or misbehaves, the grandparents won’t turn a blind eye and will have a serious talk with the kid. Apart from these loving old people, some irresponsible grandparents, though few, do exist. They hate the burden of raising a noisy child and choose to look on with folded hands.

　　11.What kinds of activities do an old people like to do these days?

　　Well, in my opinion, nowadays old people like to chat with other people, sharing past experience with their peers or grandchildren. Besides, many old people would like to have morning or evening exercises to keep a good body condition. In big cities, you can often see many old people dancing at the squares in the evening.

　　12.Why do some old people only remember happy things?

　　Well, in my opinion, when they were young, old people experienced many things, happy or unhappy, joyous or sorrowful. But only happy things can make them feel good, so they can always remember them very clearly. Moreover, since happy things are mentioned time and time again, it is no wonder that old people can only remember them.

　　13.Why do young people like to ask about the past of old people?

　　Well, for one thing, the past of old people sounds fresh to young people, who are curious about different and new things. For another thing, young people like to learn something useful from old people’s past experience. They even sometimes ask old people for suggestions and proposals.

　　14.What kinds of things can young people learn from old people?

　　Well, actually young people can learn many things from old people. Firstly, young people can learn old people’s spirit of perseverance because almost all old people experienced the tough life in the past. Secondly, young people can learn old people’s attitude of tolerance. Old people are always strict with themselves and considerate to others.

　　15.Do you think old people enjoy their life more these days compared with the past?

　　Well, I think so. On one hand, old people can enjoy the happiness brought by modern science and technology, for example, they can use mobile phones or internet to communicate their family members freely. On the other hand, old people have more ways of entertainment compared with the past.
