Lesson 33 --- AGELESS STORY
Lesson33: AGELESS STORY
 

Every so often we can read about a man or a woman who has reached an age far beyond the limits we ordinarily expect. Reports of a man in Chile or a woman in Turkey who has
celebrated the 105th or 110th birthday occur regularly. The natural question is, to what
do these people owe their longevity? Frequently, the answer concerns the fact the
ancient one liked to imbibe regularly of some hard liquor. The photograph will show an
apparently virile man or robust woman. Somehow, people who reach this advanced age
seem to remain eternally sturdy. There are no signs that they have become senile. Smoking a pipe, or sewing on some garment, these rare specimens of hardy humanity are far from the doddering we expect to see.

Here’s your chance to match the new words with their meaning.

1. longevity________ a. long duration of life
2. imbibe________ b. masterful, manly
3. virile________ c. drink
4. senile________ d. infirm, weak form old age
5. doddering________ e. trembling, shaking

What do you think is the ideal age for each of these stages of your life: (Explain your opinion)
Starting School
Starting Dating
Leaving School/starting work
Leaving your parents' home
Getting Married
Having a Child
Retiring

·Are you afraid of getting old?
·What is your ideal old age to live to?
·Do you prefer to live in the retirement home or live with young people?
·Should parents continue to finance their children after the children are 18?
·In most countries women live an average of 5 to 6 years longer than men. Why do you think this is?
·In some countries having children is considered a way of "investing in the future", and young people are expected to give money to their parents when they get a job, and then to care for them when they retire. What are the good points and what are the bad points about this system?
