▶ Your Answer : There are many university clubs which are planning to help others. Some might plan to help students in a nearby primary school with reading and mathematics, and some might help people who cannot afford to build or rent a home to build a house. However, in my opinion, visiting and assisting elderly people with daily tasks is the best way for university clubs to help others for several reasons. First of all, since the number of elderly people is increasing, our society is becoming an aging society. As a result, it is hard for the government to take care all of the elderly people. For example, there are more and more elderly people but the number of welfare facilities of senior citizens are still same. So, not all senior citizens can be provided with those services. That is why more people are needed to help elderly people. In this case, students in university clubs can visit and assist elderly people with their daily tasks. Next, even though there are enough services for elderly people, elderly people actually cannot apply for all of those services. According to a research done by the National Statistical Office, only 13 percent of senior citizens know services for elderly people provided by government well. This means that most of the senior citizens do not know the services well. At this point, senior citizens desperately needs help and that is what the university clubs should do. They should help elderly people by assisting their daily tasks and teaching them how to apply for the services they need. As analyzed above, it is hard for the government to take care all of the elderly people and although there are enough services to take care of them, senior citizens actually cannot apply for the services. Therefore, it is undoubtedly reasonable to say that visiting and assisting senior citizens with daily tasks is the best way to help others. |
