2. What skills can the old teach the young?

 Interestingly, old people can teach numerous things to their children. As they have enough experience in life. They properly know how to tackle any sort of issue. Even children can learn cooking, stitching, games, stories, and many other things which will be proved beneficial for their future life.

3. What skills can the young teach the old?

  I consider that young people can teach many things to older people. As youngsters are generally very curious. They can teach older about the advantages and usage of modern technology. Moreover, they can encourage them to live an independent life by doing some work from home. They can teach them how to do yoga and exercise in order to stay fit as fiddle.

4. Do you think old people should live with their family?

  Undoubtedly, old people are the roots of a family. They make their family more strong by teaching them some moral values. As we know older people play a crucial role in every family. As they make key decisions for the betterment of the family.

 As I earlier mentioned youngsters and old people have distinct preferences. However, I think they have a similar interest in movies and games to some extent.

6. Do you think people are more selfish or self-centered than in the past?

No doubt, people become busier in their life. They want to earn more and more money. So, they do have not enough time to give their family and friends. But, I believe they do all the work for their family members so that they can fulfill their all desires.
