    Yes:
    Nursing houses provide the elderly with comparatively better facilities and services. When old people, especially those who are suffering from diseases, live in the nursing house, nurses can look after them carefully and advanced facilities can also provide them with good treatment.
    In the nursing house, the elderly can make friends with people who have the similar taste and hobbies.
    Old people living in the nursing house can maintain a harmonious family atmosphere. It is quite obvious that there is a generation gap between the old and their children. They often have different opinions on many things. These differences might result in disagreement or even discord.
    No:
    While living in the nursing house, the elderly may be homesick. They may miss their children, particularly when they have lived in the nursing house for a long time.
    Many nursing houses cannot offer a comfortable environment to the elderly, because they do not have adequate advanced facilities. So we can’t ensure that the elderly will have a high level of living condition in the nursing house.
    Since nurses in the nursing house are aiming at earning money, we should not expect that they will treat the elderly in the same way as their children do at home.

答案 Should the Elderly Live in the Nursing House? Under the dual pressure of life and work, many young couples choose to send their parents to the nursing house for its comfortable environment as well as professional care. But such behavior leads to a backlash from those who believe that the elderly should live with their children, because they may feel lonely and nurses won’t take good care of them. As to me, I’m a proponent of the view that living with their children is more beneficial for old people. First and foremost, what the elderly want most is not professional and attentive care from strangers but communication with their own children, which can meet their emotional needs. Moreover, there is little privacy for the elderly in the nursing house since it is common for several elderly people to live in one room together. In addition, the supervision mechanism of nursing houses is not perfect in most cases. As a result, there is no guarantee that the service provided by nursing houses can be meticulous. To sum up, parents have a duty to rear their children who are still minors while children who have grown up should support their elderly parents. Young people shouldn’t use the "too-busy" excuse to avoid their obligation of caring for their parents.
解析     本题讨论的是老人是否应该住养老院。在具体行文方面，考生首先要总结材料，概述正反双方的观点。然后给出自己的观点，即和孩子们一起住在家里对老人更有益，并提供论据。最后总结全文。
    开头部分阐述背景并概述正反双方的观点。正方观点：由于养老院能提供舒适的环境和专业的护理，许多年轻夫妇在经济和工作的双重压力之下将父母送入养老院居住。反方观点：由于老人在养老院可能会感到孤单，并且不一定能得到令人满意的照顾，所以老人还是应该和他们的孩子一起住。
    中间部分通过“As to me，I’m a proponent of the view that…”阐述自己的观点：和孩子们一起住对老人更有益。并用“First and foremost…”“Moreover…”和 “In addition…”阐述理由：老人最想要的不是陌生人的专业、细心的照顾，而是与自己孩子之间的交流，这样才能满足他们的情感需求；老人在养老院里几乎没有什么隐私，因为几个老人一起住在一个房间的现象很普遍；在大部分情况下，养老院的监督机制都不够完善，因此无法保证养老院能够提供细致入微的服务。
    结尾部分通过“To sum up…”总结全文。
