有關(guān)孤寡老人的英語作文
In the picture, an old lady is sitting in front of a mirror. She is saying to herself in the mirror: "The children are not in my comopany. I feel rather lonely." The picture reveals one of the serious problems of our modern society.
With better living conditions and better medical care, people can live much longer than before. But how to take care of them has become a big problem, which we must cope with seriously.
It is reported that there are more than 160 million people aged over 60 in our country. The percentage of old people is still increasing and many families are confronted with problems coming along with old people. The fast tempo of modern life has left people little time and energy to look after their old parents. On the other hand, some people take their old parents as their burden and treat them badly. As a result, many old people feel neglected and live in great loneliness and helplessness, especially when they are suffering from poor health.
Something should be urgently done to help these lonely old people. First of all, those who have old parents should take the responsibility to take good care of them. The government should set up more nursing houses for old people, especially for those who have no children and who are physically and mentally disabled. More importantly, there should be more organizations providing financial, medical and legal assistance for old people. In a word, special efforts should be made to help old people to spend their later years of their lives comfortably and merrily.

有了更好的生活條件和更好的醫(yī)療保健，人們可以比以前活得更長。但是如何照顧他們已經(jīng)成為一個(gè)大問題，我們必須認(rèn)真對(duì)待。
據(jù)報(bào)道，在我國有1億6000萬多歲的人超過60歲。老年人的比例還在增加，許多家庭都面臨著老年人的問題�，F(xiàn)代生活的快節(jié)奏使人們幾乎沒有時(shí)間和精力照顧年邁的父母。另一方面，有些人把他們的老父母作為他們的負(fù)擔(dān)和對(duì)待他們。因此，許多老人感到被忽視，生活在極大的孤獨(dú)和無助，尤其是當(dāng)他們患有健康不佳。
應(yīng)該做些緊急的事來幫助這些孤獨(dú)的老人。首先，那些有年邁父母的人應(yīng)該負(fù)起照顧他們的責(zé)任。政府應(yīng)該為老人，尤其是那些沒有孩子和身心殘疾的人設(shè)立更多的養(yǎng)老院。更重要的是，應(yīng)該有更多的組織為老年人提供金融、醫(yī)療和法律援助�？傊瑧�(yīng)特別努力，幫助老人晚年舒適快樂地度過晚年。
