Band 7 Example
Question: Do you think many old people in your country free lonely?
Idea 1
Yes
Model Answer
Yes, I think many old people feel lonely. A lot of them live alone because their children have moved to cities for work. The traditional family structure is changing, and there's less support for the elderly. When they retire, they often lose social connections, and health problems can make it hard for them to go out and meet people. Also, community support isn't always enough to help them feel less lonely.
Idea 2
No
Model Answer
No, I don't think many old people feel lonely. In our culture, family is very important, so elderly people often live with their relatives. There are also community centers and social clubs where they can meet others and stay active. Technology, like video calls, helps them keep in touch with family and friends. Plus, some elderly people stay busy with volunteer work or hobbies, which helps them stay connected.
