Mobile phones and the Internet are useful tools. However, not many elderly people use them. Mobile phones and the Internet are useful tools. However, not many elderly people use them. In what ways can mobile phones and the Internet be useful to elderly people? How can elderly people be encouraged to use them? ----------------------- Nowadays, the Internet, mobile phones and all kinds of high technology equipment appear rapidly that influence our lives more and more, but elderly people still seldom use them. I think we could find some ways to improve that. The Internet and phones have been become very useful and advanced tools. It could be useful to elderly people from many ways. Firstly, loads of Apps have been created to help people check and manage our health, like calculating your walking paces and times, regularly reminding you to keep exercise. Elderly people could be beneficial with that kind of Apps. Secondly, many elderly people stay lonely at home, their children leave them to other cities or abroad. They could use mobile phone and the Internet to contact with their children, even include audio and visual, it’s cheap and convenient. Last but not least, many elderly people feel empty to go through every day, but in fact many of them are professionals and know a lot about special knowledge, they could teach or share their knowledge to other young people through the Internet. Therefore, they could feel sense of achievement. I believe if elderly people know that they could do many things through mobile phone and the Internet, they must be happy to gain that kind of knowledge. So children could help them to settle down some fundamental issues and regularly communicate with them online. They must be motivated to learn more. Furthermore, government could organize some courses and free speech to teach how to use the Internet with elderly people. Media also could broadcast some stories, like elderly people help young people to success through teaching online, etc. In conclusion, mobile phones and the Internet change our lives every day. We should help elderly people truly involved into it.

Nowadays, the Internet, mobile phones and all kinds of high technology equipment appear rapidly AND influence our lives more and more, but elderly people still seldom use them. I think we CAN find some ways to improve that.

The Internet and phones have been become very useful and advanced tools. THEY could be useful to elderly people IN many ways. Firstly, loads of Apps have been created to help people check and manage THEIR health; FOR EXAMPLE, calculating walking pace and time, OR regularly reminding you to exercise. Elderly people could benefiT FROM thOSE kindS of Apps. Secondly, many elderly people ARE lonely at home BECAUSE their children leave them to LIVE IN other cities or abroad. They could use mobile phoneS and the Internet to contact their children (audioWISE and visualLY), AND it’s cheap and convenient. Last but not least, many elderly people feel empty GOING through every day, but in fact many of them are professionals and know a lot OF special knowledge; they could teach or share their knowledge to young people through the Internet. Therefore, they could feel A sense of achievement.

I believe if elderly people KNEW that they could do many things through mobile phoneS and the Internet, they WOULD be happy to gain that kind of knowledge. So children could help them TO settle some fundamental issues and regularly communicate with them online. They must be motivated to learn more. Furthermore, THE government could organize some courses and free speech(?) to teach THEM how to use the Internet. THE media also could broadcast some stories, like elderly people helpING young people REACH success through teaching THEM online, etc. (Do you mean the elderly people teach young people online, and that the online classes help the young people be successful?)

In conclusion, mobile phones and the Internet change our lives every day. We should help elderly people BECOME truly involved IN THEM. (maybe provide a reason after "in them". concise endings are good, but don't be too abrupt.)
