Sample Answer: Describe an Interesting Conversation You Had with A Very Old Person

Well, I am a social butterfly who likes to talk with everyone regardless of age and gender. Here, I would like to talk about a lady with whom I had an interesting conversation about health. One month ago, one of my school friends invited me to celebrate her birthday party. She organised her birthday party at home.

So her family members and relatives were also there at the birthday party. After the birthday party, she introduced her family members to me. I also met her maternal grandmother, who is 75 years old. In spite of being old, one can not say that she looked like an old woman because she looked gorgeous in a party dress.

When I met her, she gave me some information about her past profession as she was a well-known dietician and nutritionist in Ahmedabad. So I decided to talk to her about my health issues, which I had been suffering from for 6 months. She got all the information about my daily routine initially.

Then she advised me on what changes should be made in my routine that can help me improve my health. Moreover, she also gave me a diet plan which I have to follow for more than a year. She also told some home remedies for better digestion.

After following her advice, the problem of digestion was completely eliminated from my body. After communicating with her, I felt over the moon, not just because of her recommendations, but her personality literally touched my heart.

Part 3 Questions: Describe an Interesting Conversation You Had with A Very Old Person

Question 1:- How do people have a conversation with an elderly person?

If people have to talk with elderly people, at that time, an individual should show some politeness and respect because of their age. Apart from this, people should keep in mind that their words are not so harsh that they hurt elderly people, as elderly people are like small babies. If anyone talks with them in a humble manner, there may be chances that he or she will be easily convinced.

Question 2:- What can young people learn from old people?

There are many characteristics that can be learnt from old people. One of their important habits is to wake up early in the morning, which is the secret to remaining fit. Secondly, old people have more wisdom and experience than younger people, so whatever they tell us, we should try to do it. To illustrate this, my grandfather always tells me a quote, “Try and try till you succeed.”  By following his lines, whatever I am today is just because of him.

Question 3:- Do you think old people can work better than young people?

From my perspective, old people can do work better than young people. In spite of their old age, they still have strong memory and physical fitness that help them to work easily. In contrast, the food habits of young people have changed completely from the past, which greatly affects their working life in a negative way.

Question 4:- What are the advantages of having people of different ages living in the same house?

There are many benefits of having different types of people of different ages in one home. First of all, people can get all the information from the past to today by gaining knowledge from people about their own time. If any problems may occur, they can easily solve them by combining the traditional and modern solutions.

Question 5:- Has old people’s life quality improved when compared to the past?

As far as I am concerned, the quality of life may have decreased as compared to the past because of many constraints. The food habits are changing nowadays, which reduces the quality of. The working and social life also varies from the past. For example, if any old people live in a well-developed city, they can not meet their friends or any relatives, which directly impacts their quality of life.

Question 6:- Do old people share the same interests as young people?

No, I do not believe that old people share the same interests as young people because different people have various preferences according to their tastes. So I do not think that age may largely contribute to it. However, as age increases, the interest in some activities decreases compared to the past, such as going on a movie date and playing some outdoor games.
