Describe something you taught to your friend/relative.

Part 3 Follow Up Questions

1. What are things that young people can teach old people to do?
   I think they can teach them anything they are good at. However, if I had to pick something specific I
   would say the use of technology like how to use mobile phone features, apps and computer
   softwares.
2. What skills can young people teach the old besides technology?
   I think they can teach them the ability to change and adapt. Old people are generally hesitant and
   unwilling to take risks and make changes but they are necessary to survive in today’s world. They
   can also teach them how to take risks.
3. Why older people have problems in learning new things?
   I think its about memory. I think people!s memory deteriorates with time and people start
   forgetting things. For example, sometimes when I am teaching my mother, she forgets the previous
   steps. However, when I repeat it once or twice, she picks it up.
4. Do you think showing is a better way than telling during education?
   Of course. Its easier to remember things we see. I am not sure why but I think our visual memory is
   far better. Moreover, there can be misunderstandings when telling something as words can be
   interpret differently.
5. Do you think constant training is important for people to study something?
   Yes, practice is the key to success. I remember I once watched a video which said that if a person
   spends about 1200 hours on something, he can become an expert at it. I couldn!t agree more. I
   remember I taught my mother how to use Microsoft Word and now she knows about it more than
   me because she uses it much more.
   
6. 6.) How can the young teach the old?
   I think the best way way would be show them to do something rather than telling them what to do.
   Young people need to be patient while teaching and remember that it takes the aged a little bit
   more time.
