How Old is Old?

I think 75 is old. Here are three reasons why I think that.

One reason is that at 75 you will probably be in nursing home or retirement home. You probably got there because you might need help with stuff that we think is easy but is hard for them. Like cooking, getting dressed, showering/bathing or if they have other problems.

When you are 75 you'll have health care problems and not doing the stuff you were doing when you were younger. So you can't do as much. Like you might need a cane to walk, or if you still drive a car you will probably go really slow. So you can't do as much when you are older. If you are not fit then you won't go running in the morning.

Your appearance starts to change when you get older. Your hair will start getting white or grey hairs. You'll get more wrinkles than you ever had before. You will walk slower. But if you eat right and stay active then that might not happen to you for awhile.

Those are some of my reasons why I think 75 is old. The stuff I thought may not be right for everybody. Some older people are very active and fit. But that's what I think.

  1. Good work. I kike how each of your paragraphs talks about the same topic. On suggestion I would make is that in your introduction you don not need the sentence (Here are the reasons why I think that.) (1)
