Today,I want to talk about "how to do with the olds".
As everyone knows,to respect the elderly is one of the traditional virtues of Chinese nation.As far as I am concerned,there are generally three ways of dealing with old people among China.The first one is to buy them a house and give them money.The second one is to put them into geracomium.The third one is to live with them.I think both of the three ways have their own advantages.But what I want to say is the negative side.First of all,buy them a house means leave them along.Have you ever thought,if something urgent happens,what will your parents do?Old people always need someone to take care of them.Secondly,if you put your parents into geracomium when they are getting old,truly,you don't have to worry about the safety insurance and they don't have to cook for themselves and clean the place where they live.But the living condition there is bad.Furniture and facilities there are used by many people.The third way is typical Chinese way,isn't it?Three or even four generations live in one big house seems to be a common phenomenon.What is the disadvantage of living together with your parents or old relevant?I want to listen you idea.

Today, I want to talk about "What to do with the elderly".
In general "elderly" is more polite than "old" or "old people," however it is still correct.
As everyone knows,to respect the elderly is one of the traditional virtues of the Chinese nation.
As far as I am concerned,there are generally three ways of dealing with old people within China.
The second one is to put them into a geracomium.
I think all of the three ways have their own advantages.
"Both" implies strictly two.
However, what I want to discuss is the negative side.
First of all to buy them a house means leaving them alone.
Have you considered what your parents would do if something urgent happened? Old people always need someone to take care of them.
Second, if you put your parents into a geracomium when they are getting old you don't have to worry about safety insurance. They also don't have to cook for themselves or clean the place where they live.
I've been taught to drop the "-ly" off "secondly," "thirdly," etc. but this rule may vary. Don't worry about it.
But the living conditions are bad.
May also consider merging this and the following sentence into one sentence.
The furniture and facilities are used by many people.
The third way is the typical Chinese way, isn't it? Three or even four generations live in one big house and seems to be a common phenomenon.
What is the disadvantage of living together with your parents or old relatives? I want to listen your ideas.
Good luck continuing to hone your English skills. :)
