PICTURE DISCUSSION
This picture depicts a scene at a old folks' home. There are several elderly on wheelchairs seated in a circle. They are all facing a lady, who should be a nurse working in the home as she dons a uniform with a nametag attached. There seems to be an activity carried out as everyone is engaged in a ball game. Also, there is another nurse standing behind the elderly. I am pretty sure her presence is to ensure the safety of the elderly.
I think these elderly people are here as their family members are too busy to take care of them. Hence, they are entrusted to the old folks' home which have opened windows for ventilation and bright lighting, both as seen from the picture. Overall, the old folks' home has a very conducive environment; perfect for the elderly.
CONVERSATION
My paternal grandfather is a tall man, literally. He is seventy years of age and lives in an apartment in Bedok with his wife, my grandmother. He works part-time sending coffee powder with his van and loves playing mahjong with his pals. This is one thing I'd picked up from him: Mahjongggg!!!! The sound of mahjong tiles rubbing against each other, ooooh, music to grandad's ears. I absolutely adore my grandad. If I could something special for him, it would be to bake a low-sugar (he's diabetic u see) cake in the shape of a mahjong tile just for him.
It really depends on the circumstances as to where elderly people should live. To site an example, if the family members of an elderly are career-minded people who are so busy that they have no time to look after them, the elderly should be living in an old folks' home where there are trained nurses to take good care of them. Of course, the family members of these elderly have to visit them whenever they get the time. However, if the family members of an elderly have plenty of free time on their hands, it is advisable for them to take care of their elderly themselves. Either way, the elderly people should be living an activity-filled life so as to not waste away their retirement years.
