The visit of the elderly by Jason Pang

Last Thursday was a special school day. We had the normal lessons in the morning and also after the lunchtime. Then we started our special life education lesson.

All form 3 student of Law Ting Pong Secondary School had to join the activity of the visit of elderly. We all need to help for the visit of elderly. We had prepared for this activity for a few weeks. We decided games for cheering the elderly up and we also prepared some little gifts for the elderly.

At that day, we were nervous for the visit. When the bell rang, we went down to the hall quickly. We sat in our groups and waited for the visit of elderly. Few minutes later, the door was opened and 30-40 elderly went in to the hall. The activity began.

First, student in other classes prepared some singing show for the elderly. As the songs they chose were some old songs, most elderly knew the song and tried to sing together with the students. Then, another class of students prepared a drama which was talking about some careless elderly. They received some calls that called by some crime. They usually said lies and said that the elderly’s families had some serious disease suddenly and needed a large amount of money for the fare of surgical operation. The careless elderly didn’t check whether the news was true or not and they just sent money to the bank account which was the crime’ account. Students prepared this drama to remind the elderly to be careful of phone criminal. It was meaningful.

Finally, it was our turn. My group decided to play a simple game with the elderly. The elderly just needed to guess what students were acting. It might be an animal or a tool. If the elderly guessed the answer rightly, they could get a present. Finally, all the elderly in your group got a present. They were satisfied.

I felt happy because it was a meaningful activity. We gave joy to the elderly and they were satisfied by our preparation. It’s a happy thing to share happiness with elderly. The elderly deserved joy as they worked hard for half of their whole life. They created lots of things for us in the previous day. We have such a day now because of their effort. I think this activity was also a way to thanks to them.
