How Old is Old?

How old do people have to be to be called old? I think 65.

When you get to be older you can't move around as much. You're bones would cease up and you can't jump up and down like you used to be able to. I think that's why some people use canes and walkers, it's to help them move around easier.

Another thing some people do when they get older is go into nursing homes. They can't afford or can't take care of themselves enough to live alone in a house. So they go to nursing homes. the nursing homes take care of the older people and help if the become sick. Nursing homes really help older people out.

My last reason is retire age. Of course you can not work at all in your life but the government starts sending you money when you get to age 65. It also depends on what job you have.

Those were my reasons for thinking that 65 is an old age.

  1. one thing you did well on is telling the introduction paragraph.
    One thing you could work on is your ending paragraph.you could describe more about being 65.
    One thing i agree with is that you could get old and can't get around easier.
    One thing i disagree with is they could still be healthy and could still live in a house.

  2. Your introduction is very good.
    You could work on adding more detail in your paragraphs.
    I agree that when you are old, you can't be as active. Your bones would be weaker and use canes or walkers.
    I don't agree that when you are old, yo live in a retirement home. Lots of people are living in their own homes and are 65.
