how old would you like to retire? how come?(为什么)
I would retire at the age of 50.
(health、finance、friends)
In my 50's, I can imagine that I would still take exercise regularly, which would help me to keep healthy. Therefore I would prepare for my retirement psychologically and physically.
In addition, I have earned enough money after almost twenty-year-work, which could support me to enjoy a relaxing life filled with new clothes and trips.
And it is also important that I would have many friends who can stay with me. We not only share the funny stories of our children with each other but also learn painting in the community.
Describe your ideal retirement. Where would you be? Who would be with you? What would you do on a daily basis?
I shift from full-time work to part-time work in Hangzhou. And I may buy a apartment in Yunnan or Hainan, if whether becomes cold or hot I would stay in this house with my parents and husband.
Firstly, I would do an hour of slow yoga everyday. Then I would take a walk and walk my dog after dinner. And I may also need to pick up grandchildren from school.
When you get very old and can not take care of yourself amymore, would you prefer to live with your children or live in a retirement home? Explain why you feel this way is best.
For me, I would enjoy spending time with my springs because I pay attention to the parent-child relationship. Elderly communicate with young people and build a bridge with new technology, while youngsters would learn experience from their parents. Although living in a retirement home and engaging with peers would not worry about a generation gap, I still like stay with my family.
