Answer 1

Old people that live alone with no family member to take care of them are now called the empty-nest elderly. Social and economic developments have led many young people to choose to work and live far from their hometowns, leaving their parents alone.

The empty-nest elderly can’t manage things that require much manual labor. And because of long-term loneliness, they may have mental problems like depression.

Therefore, we should pay more attention to them. We should call for volunteers to offer them help on a regular basis. We can help them clean the house, buy household items, carry heavy things upstairs, etc. Besides, the government should spend more money providing places for the elderly to be entertained and communicate.

【解析】

试题分析：这是一篇关于“关爱空巢老人”话题文章写作。文章的内容主要包括分析空巢老人越来越多的原因，总结他们面临的问题，以及提出如何帮助空巢老人的建议。注意调理要清晰，内容要全面而具体，原因和问题的分析到深刻，建议要力求切实可行。另外，要尽量保持卷面整洁，字体美观，注意行文的连贯性。时态：用一般现在时。结构上：根据内容分为分析原因、总结问题和提出建议。使用一些高级句型和词汇提升作文档次。

【亮点说明】live alone，take care of，live far from，because of，pay more attention to，call for等组词是文章更加生动；Old people that live alone with no family member to take care of them are now called the empty-nest elderly.使用定语从句，对于空巢老人这一新名词的定义作出解释。Social and economic developments have led many young people to choose to work and live far from their hometowns, leaving their parents alone.后面部分使用现在分词短语作状语，说明了空巢老人出现的原因，是文章句型结构更加丰富灵活。在如何帮助空巢老人的件以上，连续运用三个动词短语：help them clean the house, buy household items, carry heavy things upstairs，使文章更有节奏感。文章的安排分为三部分，第一段：说明空巢老人的定义，分析空巢老人出现的原因。第二段：总结空巢老人面临的生活和精神困难。第三段：针对现状，提出解决空巢老人问题的建议。
