1. It is a traditional moral in China to respect the elderly. In every family the elderly person possesses high status. In my family we always consult with my grandfather when the decision should be made about some important family issues. And we take his suggestion seriously.

2. What do you think are problems for older people in China?
2. 你认为在中国存在着哪些老年人的问题？
With the implementation of one-child policy in China, many families can't afford to take good care of the elderly person. The young people are usually too busy to accompany their parents. And the aging problem is becoming serious. But I think these problems will be solved by means of social methods. Now nursing houses are more and more popular. And the welfare system is becoming perfect.
由于计划生育政策的实施，很多家庭不能很好地照顾老年人。年轻人太忙于他们的事业了以至于都没时间陪伴他们的父母。而且人口老龄化问题也越来越严重。但是这些问题可以通过社会种种方法来解决。现在养老院很流行，同时福利院也在渐渐完善。

总的来说，老年人过着非常幸福的生活，但是他们显得有些孤独。由于计划生育政策的实施，很多老年人得不到足够的照料。此外，能适用于老年人用的那些娱乐设施也不是很多。

The elderly people's experiences are very valued which direct young people in many ways,but sometimes they are out of date, and can't follow the trend of society. So it is better to accept the elderly people's experience selectively.
老年人的经验对于指导年轻人是非常有价值的，但是有些经验也过时了，不能跟上时代的步伐了。所以最好是有选择地听取老年人的经验。
