In the past, old people liked to live with children and grandchildren while young people could show good
manners to them in this way.
Now more and more old people prefer living alone and they hope their adult children move out if possible.
The old idea of keeping many family members in a house is not good. Lots of old people like an easy life
after coming back from work. They would like to be free from heavy housework. Some want to visit places
of interest around the world. Some want to learn something new. Such as painting, dancing, handwriting and
so on. Because they want their dreams to come true. They no longer like to stay at home day by day. We
must understand old people and respect (尊重) their lifestyle.
