to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions

Most young couples have meals regularly in their parents’ home with little or no pay, and

give their children to the care of old couple free of charge. Investigations have shown that

parents of many couples don’t mind providing meals and caring for their children.

However, this practice shouldn’t become an accepted social custom.

The old couples’ expense on food has already increased while young couples spend more

on clothing and furnishing and less on food. If this trend continues, many young couples

might take these privileges for granted and become more dependent.

It is not the right for young peoples to make the use of the old couples’ love, not only

because our nation is well – known for its special respect paid to the elderly , but also

because the young must become independent. What young people should do is to

become more considerate towards their old parents. After long years of hard work, they

are worthy of such consideration.
