Through this programme, student volunteers are given the opportunity to adopt a senior adult living in a local nursing home as a “grandparent”. Each week students have the chance to spend time with their adopted grandparents talking, sharing stories and participating in a planned activity. In addition to regular visits, students are encouraged to write letters and send presents to their adopted grandparents. The elderly are also encouraged to do the same.This programme provides senior adults with a sense of purpose and belonging. Not everyone who lives in a nursing home gets visitors or enough visitors, or has grandchildren of their own. Students commit to spending one hour a week with their adopted grandparents, but some end up visiting for three or four hours a week. They do it because they like spending time with the elderly. There is no credit offered. The programme helps students develop a sense of social responsibility and community awareness. More importantly, both students and the elderly learn from each other and form a family bond.1. What do we learn about the Adopt-a-Grandparent programme from the news report?2.

Until recently, this is still regarded unthinkable as childcare has always been considered womens responsibility in the male-dominated society of South Korea.South Korean women have long believed that employers give them a lower salary and dont give them promotion because theyre likely to take time off to have children. They are also reluctant to be stay-at-home moms, having sole responsibility for all household duties. These concerns among women have contributed to a record low birth rate.President Park Geun-hye has announced a multi-billion plan to help couples to have larger families. Fathers who take paternity leave will receive a government aid equivalent to 40 per cent of their monthly income, capped at 1.0 million won. According to the plan, men and women are entitled to up to one years paternity or maternity leave.1. What is considered unthinkable in South Korea?2.
