Band 6

Some people believe that younger family members should be legally responsible for supporting older family members when they become physically, mentally and financially unable to look after themselves. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

#people #members
There are some
people
 who would argue that young
people
 should take legally more responsibility for caring for their old
parents
 who can not look after themselves mentally, physically as well financially. Personally, I believe that there are some drawbacks of the above trend, as will be explained. On the one hand, taking care of old
people
 consistently can create some difficulties for young
people
 in daily
life
. With the acceleration of
people
's living tempo, young
people
 are quite busy that can not spare enough time for their old
parents
.
Furthermore
, they face heavy pressure from their society, work and families.
In addition
 to
this
, they have to shoulder the responsibility in the face of caring and providing a happy
life
 for old
people
.
However
, it is a burden for them that they cannot sit the whole day talking with their
parents
. They have to concentrate more on their work. Because, the more they devote themselves to work, the better
life
 they can provide for old
parents
.
Secondly
, special old-man clubs can offer entertainment facilities and bounteous food. The old
people
 can there make some new companies and friends establishing good relationships with them.
On the other hand
, young
people
 should pay more attention to old
parents
 providing a happy
life
. Despite the benefits of old man clubs, young
people
 themselves should take off their old
parents
. There older
people
 may feel lonely that miss their daughters, sons and grandchildren and
also
, want to celebrate the special holiday events together with all family members at home. They prefer a family atmosphere. To sum up, I think younger family members should provide a good living environment by caring for them.
