Your college English magazine is askingfor essays on the following statement: It'sbetter for elderly relatives to be looked after innursing homes. Write your essay for themagazine, stating your opinion andgiving reasons/examples to support it.

1. In many countries these days, elderly people often
   choose to live in nursing homes and not with their
   families. In my opinion, this can be a really good idea
   as their needs can often be best met there.
2. First of all, a carefully-chosen nursing home can
   offer excellent care and facilities for an elderly
   person. For example, they often have great
   facilities – such as TV rooms – and special events
   where the residents can socialise. In addition, they
   have professional care staff such as trained nurses.
3. Secondly, many elderly people do not wish to
   be too dependent on their families. They do not
   want to put a burden on their family members' busy
   lives, by taking care of them 24 hours every day.
4. On the other hand, some people believe that it
   should always be the family's responsibility to look
   after elderly relatives. They argue that they looked
   after you when you were a child and so now you
   should give them the love and care they need.
5. All in all, I believe that, while it is the choice of
   each family, it is often better for an elderly person to
   live in a carefully chosen nursing home. This way,
   they can live more independent lives in an
   environment that caters to all their needs.
