WRITING: HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT GETTING OLD?



Getting old is an inevitable process which will come for everybody sooner or later. When you are old you begin to have physical, psychological changes and deterioration. For example, you forget things faster than young people and you have less energy to do things. From my point of view, I do not care so much about that part of getting old because if you take care of your health when you are young, you are less likely to have serious health problems in the future. You will only have the old age ones and they should not be an impediment to have a normal life.
Furthermore, I think that getting old can have some advantages and disadvantages. Old people have a lot of free time and that can be positive or negative depending on the person. On the one hand, you have time for travelling, looking after your grandchildren, going out with friends or whatever you want to do. But, on the other hand, if you are not an active person you could become a lonely, bitter old man or woman and start to feel the negative sides of getting old.
