Although in many other countries the elderly usually live with their children’s family, many older Americans live alone, without the close companionship （友情）of their children. This situation is sometimes blamed on the “selfishness” of the younger generation, but a closer look shows that many of the elderly prefer to maintain（保障）their independent lives.Research on the situation of the elderly in America has shown that while grandparents are delighted to be visited periodically by their children and grandchildren. They prefer to with. This suggests that children should permit their parents to live alone if they wish to, but should encourage them to maintain close ties to the rest of the family.Another surprising result of research on the elderly in the United States has been the very positive influence which pets have been found to have on the elderly people that they live with. It has been shown that elderly people who care for small pets, such as cats and dogs, live longer, are healthier, and have better attitudes towards their lives than similar elderly people without these companions.64.

Even a child can do it!”Most adults who are learning a second language would disagree with this. For them, learning a language is a very difficult task. They need hundreds of hours of study and practice, and even this will not meet with success for every adultlanguage learner.Language teachers often offer advice to language learners, “Read as much as you can in the new language.”“Practice speaking the language emery day.”“Live with people who speak the language.”“Don’t translate, try to think in the new language.”“learn as child would learn.”But what does a successful language learner do?

It is necessary for them to learn the language in order to communicate with these people and learn from them.What kind of language earner are you?
