3. What are the advantages and disadvantages of living in a nursing home or living with one’s family when a person is old? What are you going to prefer: to live in a nursing home or with your family? Why?

You could answer:

*Las ventajas de vivir en un asilo son que te están cuidando todo el tiempo y puedes vivir más tranquilo sin depender de tu familia, y la desventaja es que cuesta dinero y vives con gente que no cononces. La ventaja de vivir con tu familia es que te cuida la gente que quieres, pero la desventaja es que no siempre tienen el tiempo. Cuando sea anciano, yo preferiré vivir en un asilo, para que mi familia no tenga que preocuparse.*
The advantages of living in a nursing home are that you are being cared for all the time and you can live calmly without depending on your family, and the disadvantage is that it costs money and you live with people you don’t know. The advantage of living with your family is that you’re being cared for by people you love, but the disadvantage is that they don’t always have the time. When I’m old, I will want to live in a nursing home, so that my family doesn’t have to worry.

Step 5
