Society old people and their grandchildren usually live separately and don't com-
municate too much. Some people say that it is quite natural, wole O
that it is quite natural, while others think that the old
OR
and the young should spend more time together.
Nowadays there are few families where several generations live under the same roof. Children
and their grandparents don't see very much of each other. But is it good or bad for both the old
and the young?
Personally, I think that children and their grandparents should spend more time together.
Children always need much attention, but their parents usually work too much. But pensioners
always have time for kids. Old people feel useful and needed when they have somebody to take
care of. They also become more active and more interested in life and their physical and psy-
chological health improves. What is more, grandparents can pass their knowledge, skills and
experience to kids. At the same time the young can show the old how to use a mobile phone or
a PC.
But unfortunately, there is less and less contact between children and their grandparents nowa-
days. Some families live in small flats where there is no room for grandparents. Other families
leave for big cities and have neither time nor opportunity to visit their ageing relatives. As a
result, many old people have no contact with children and feel lonely and depressed. Children
who are separated from their grandparents also suffer from lack of attention, love and support.
So I think parents should do their best to bring the old and the young together.
To conclude, the advantages are enormous for both the old and the young. If grandparents and
children spend more time together, they will learn to understand and respect each other; con-
sequently, there will be less conflict in society. Besides, there will be fewer lonely old people and
more happy kids.
