an IELTS writing task 2 ( PS : this is an essay of the writing task 2 in IELTS test. About the subject and detailed requirements , please look at the picture attachment down below , then please share your comments on this essay with me , thanks ! ) As the old Chinese saying puts it —— the aged need support and care —— which reflects the humanistic aspect of the principle of managing aging population especially under the circumstance where an increasing number of senior citizens have become a kind of social population pressure that might be regarded by average families and the governments. In order to alleviate the influence this situation would have , I personally believe that governments could take measures as follows . First of all , since in the majority of countries the elderly live separately from their offsprings, the sense of loneliness is unavoidable . Hence to cope with such an issue , governments are supposed to do two things : one thing is investing more in the particular apartments designed for the old people ; the other thing is concentrating on cultivating awareness , via news transmission , that family reunion is of great importance for old people , by doing so , I believe more and more lonely old people can have the chance to enjoy the company of their loved ones. More importantly , it is as significant as educating young people to re-educate the senior citizens. There are many public services available for the old people, one of which is known as the university for the elderly. Having such a place to study again , all the senior citizens can gain access to plenty of public educational resources existing in our society. It is exactly the governments who have the obligation to establish this kind of special university . For example , in my city , the university of the elderly , that is subordinated to the administration of government, provides an abundance of educational activities such as playing chess , learning Chinese painting and learning playing violin , which has substantially enriched the lives of senior citizens. In conclusion , resources and facilities like university availability and investment on apartments are both practical for governments to ensure they can minimize the ageing population crisis. On top of that , family care is the most effective way to let the elderly feel warm .
