WRITING TASK 2: THE GOVERNMENT

SHOULD TAKE CARE OF OLD PEOPLE
OR NOT.

January 22, 2019 IELTS Research 2 comments

Writing task 2
You should spend 40 minutes on this task.

Write about the following topic:

Some people believe that government

should take care of old people whereas
others oppose this view.

Discuss both the views and give

your opinion.
Give reasons for your answer and include
any relevant example from your own
knowledge or experience.

Write at least 250 words.

Sample Answer

The old people have always been treated as a

dormant part of society since ages. Who should
take care of them is a debatable topic these days.
Some people think that the senior citizens should
be looked after by the government while others
have a di!erent opinion. I will discuss both the
views in my essay.

On one hand, old people are physically weak and

are "nancially incapacitated. Due to which they
are often ignored and abandoned by their
children. Moreover, they are considered as a
burden on the society because they are not able
to earn. By providing a monthly pension to senior
citizens, the government can support their
empowerment and emancipation. Additionally, if
their children do not look after them or leave
them, they can still be able to a!ord a domestic
help. Furthermore, the government can also
provide them with the facility of old age homes,
where they can spend quality time with the
people of the same age group.

On the other side, people spend a huge part of

their incomes for their children’s well-being. The
parents not only give birth to their kids, but also
make them stand on their feet. So, in order to pay
the debt of gratitude to them, the children should
meet the "nancial and emotional needs of their
elderly parents.

To conclude, in my opinion, both children and

government are morally responsible for
supporting the old people. Because, when they
are young, they not only take care of their
families, but also contribute a lot to nation
building. Moreover, the government can also help
them lead a happy and respectful life by providing
some kind of "nancial assistance. Certainly, any
"nancial support will inevitably make them
capable of living independently.

This essay have too many vocabulary

which is helping and supporting and
beautifully connecting the
sentences. Additionally, some
sentences are also playing essentially beautiful
role, like “the parents not only give birth to their
kids, but also make them stand on their feet”.
In my opinion, I totally understand this essay with
very simple or better way.

The mantra of man’s life has been

change. It’s the only constant
impacting and a!ecting lifestyles,
relationships and families. People
will have di!erent opinions on whether old
people should stay at old age homes or not and
who shall pay for the expenses incurred, the
family or the government. In my opinion the
family shall bear all the cost.

Relationship between families has undergone a

dramatic change, especially in the 21st century.
Joint/nuclear families, patriarchy system with the
man being the head – all has undergone a
metamorphosis due to various reasons. In old
days, we would never think of sending our parents
to an old age home but as the time has changed
and we are more comfortable with staying in a
nuclear family so we tend to take such decisions.
And it’s not speci"cally in Britain, there are several
families in other countries like India who have
send old people to old age homes. So it’s an
individual’s responsibility to make sure the
facilities provided to the orderly people are up-to
the mark or not.

On the contrary, one might point out that the

government should also take some responsibility
of its citizens, especially the senior citizens. As per
the government norms, all the senior citizens are
provided additional facilities and preferences like
discounts in travel ticket and other government
amenities. Secondly, the government will have
limited budgets so it might not be able to provide
the best services to the old people. Moreover,
most of the old age homes are run by NGO’s and
the government provides aid only when extremely
required.

To conclude, if old people from a family are

moving to old age home, its completely a decision
taken by the family so this becomes their
responsibility to take of all the charges applicable,
not the government.
