Answer 1

【答案】

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.
