Speaking is more than just communication! (Improving English. Day 3)
I'm taking care
to of an elder
ly lady who broke her hip
, and doesn't yet have enough
sense strength to
keep by take care of herself because
of the
desorientation lack of balance. She
is amazely has been recovering
amazingly due
s to her good
way way of life? and happiness, but she
still doesn't
still walk down the stairs to reach the street.
Today
the husband of her daughter her daughter's husband came and lift
ed her down
her, hence so she could
be sat sit with the neighbours
at by the road. -- Since I'm writing
, I realize that can sound a bit weird for any person who
are is not familiar with
the Spanish rural culture, but every
day the
neightboorsneighbors meet together in the road
within little groups to talk and spend time
together, avoiding the heat at the shadowy and windy street in front their homes.-- It is the first time that we can sit with the others in the path. Our village is a elder
edly village, so
the most of the
neightboursneighbors are more than 80, and all of them have several health issues, but
, not
so much as many as town people with similar age
s and characteristics. The main difference between people from the city and rural people is exactly this, they spend a lot of time speaking with old friends every single day. I think speaking reinforces the social side of the human
beenbeing, and
strongsstrengthens the ties with
the others, growing
the self
confidence and the feel
ing of belonging: Speaking is communication, of course, but also health!

"take care of" is the correct phrase
"elderly" is the adj. form of "elder"
"sense" (as a noun) means something like "ability to understand"
