What activities do old people take part in where you live?

Most elderly people don't do much in my hometown. They have a fixed routine：they go to the supermarket to buy food, go back home and cook. In the afternoon, they take a nap sleep) and go for a walk. They enjoy reading the newspaper and watching TV However, some of them get together with their neighbors to play cards or mahjong. A lot of older women also exercise in the evening. They meet on the public square, and one teacher shows them how to dance. It's a great chance for them to socialize while keeping fit.

   Do you think that the age of retirement should be flexible?
   

Yes, I definitely think so. Some jobs are more difficult than others. People who have a physically tiring job or a stressful position should be able to retire earlier than someone who works in an office. For example, in my opinion, farmers and truck drivers deserve to receive a pension earlier because they have endured (endure = undergo) years of hand work for a low salary. Right now, in China, men can retire at 60 and women when they are 55. Since we have so many people here in China, I strongly believe that everyone should be encouraged to retire around 55. It would give young people more chances to find a job. But of course it would also cost the government more money...
