Some people say that older people should live with
their adult children. Your opinion? * In my view, I strongly agree that older people should live with their adult children in later time. Keeping the parents at home to care is appropriate to Vietnamese moral values. Vietnamese as well as Eastern cultures place enormous value on family and the elderly. It means that children have responsibility in caring their parents when they get older. And until now, majority still respect and maintain these values. Obviously, in Vietnam societies always have negative views to people who send their parents to aging homes or nursing home. In old age, people become sick and disabled due to declining health. That is the reason why they can no longer live alone and need adult childrens help. In later time, parents want most to have caring, sharing ties with their family. Parents enjoy feeling needed and loved, and they are flattered when asked for advice. Thus, the attention and care of family members will make the rest of the elderlys life become more meaningful and happier. Obviously, Elders will feel loved and accepted if their own children look after them in when they get trouble in ailments. When living in aging home or nursing home, many people feel solitary and abandoned. They just wish to be surrounded by the laugh of their descendents or simply play with their grandchildren Finally, experience is certainly the foremost attribute that adult children can gain from their parents and grandparents. Children can definitely learn from the vicissitudes of their parents' and grandparents' lives. While on the other side of the argument, children whose elderly parents do not live with them will remain deprived of their experiences of life. Sometimes, if parents are still relatively healthy, they may be able to baby-sit or help around the house. Topic 17: Animals bring humans a lot of benefits. What are the benefits? Explain and give examples:
* It is an indisputable the fact that animals bring a vast amount of
benefits to our lives.
Wild animals play an essential role in keeping ecosystem
balanced. For example, predators keep the population of mice under control, insects pollinate flowers, and worms decompose leaf litter. Animals bring economic values: Animals, especial livestock, provide a source of food such as meat, egg, milk for daily meals as well as for the production and processing of food. Animals also produce a range of fiber/textiles. For example, sheep and goats produce wool and mohair; cows, deer, and sheep skins can be made into leather; bones, hooves and horns of livestock can be used to decorate as well. In addition, many animals are still used for work. The strength of horses, elephants and oxen is used in pulling carts and logs. The keen sense of smell of dogs and, sometimes, rats are used to search for drugs and explosives as well helping to find game while hunting and to search for missing or trapped people. Several animals including camels, donkeys, horses and dogs are used for transport, either riding or to pull wagons and sleds. Other animals including dogs and monkeys provide assistance to blind or disabled people. Animals bring benefits to medicine: Today, many medicinal remedies contain ingredients derived from animals. They are also used as experimental models to test new drug or surgical technique. Besides, some animals have biological similarities to humans that make them particularly good models for specific diseases, such as rabbits for atherosclerosis or monkeys for polio. Animals in sport, companionship and leisure are all very important aspects of human association with animals Recent studies have shown that having a pet brings benefits for child development. Whether it is a hermit crab or gold fish, a dog, cat or horse, children enjoy the companionship offered by animals. That not only can pets be a source of warm, fuzzy entertainment, but they can offer several developmental benefits to children as well. A child's physical, social, emotional and cognitive development can all be encouraged by interaction with pets. It is obvious that animals play an important role in humans life. The benefits they bring are so clear. Thus, each individual has responsibility to protect and preserve animals around us.
