Yes, I find the activity in the picture is very meaningful. It shows a pair of students playing a game with an elderly. I think that they are doing this as a VIA project at an old folk's home.The game allows the students to bond with the elderly and learn more about the elderly life. The elderly would also feel elated as there are students spending time with them so they will not feel lonely. When i was in primary school, I went to participate in a VIA project just like this. We went to an old folk's home after school to spend time with the elderly living there. We had a great time communicating and playing activities with them.

Yes it is very important for us younger generation to bond with the pioneers. The older generation are wise and have a lot of life lessons as they live in this earth longer. These lessons would be passed down to the younger generation. I do not meet my grandfather very often as he lives far away in Indonesia. But when i do, I love to listen to his stories of him back in the world war. It is a very scary time and it felt like it would never end.I learnt a lot of lessons from those stories such as being caring. My grandfather ,although he was a kid, shared rice with people in need. I also found out that my great grandfather was one of the Indonesian heroes and fought in the world war. In conclusion not only can we learn life lessons from the older generation but we can know more of our history in our country.

I agree to a certain extent that old.and young people should spend more time together as it would allow both parties to be able to open up and socialise and help them in their future endeavors.It also allows the young people to realise how time is precious and that they should be using it more wisely.

# data[].attributes.body
i agree to a large extent. technology is advancing quickly. family gatherings have turned into an anti-social fest, where everyone is staring at their latest phones or the televisions. just last week, i was over at my cousins house, i realised that many of my relatives who are around my age are severely attracted to their screens and the adults are the ones conversing. they constantly fight over a charger when their phone dies. my paternal grandparents who i see very often would look quite down when they don’t talk to them. while i have to control my impulsivity when im at home because there are way more important things to do like studying and calling my maternal grandparents to catch up with them since i do not see them so often. i do try to keep up with my paternal grandparents and they are always thrilled to see me. It hurts to see them sad because of the way we are using technology in the wrong way. Spending time with the elderly makes them euphoric as they can appreciate the way we can put our phones aside (which they know we love) and make room to talk to them.

# data[].attributes.body
We could start by paying attention to them. Many elderly have been abandoned by their children, to be put in an old folks home. Although there are some acceptable circumstances like not having enough financial aid to care for them. Being abandoned can cause a heartbreak in them, sometimes unable to eat or drink. What we can do to help their well-being will be to create a program which helps with reconciliation between child and parent, where a series of meetings and counselling will be provided. As well as, care packages for families that are not doing financially well that are taking care of children and elderly.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree to a large extent. With the advancement of technology, young and old people do not have many chances to interact.
For instance, my grandparents and I live together, so we should be able to communicate more. However, I would go home and immediately start playing games on my mobile phone. They would always lecture me on how my mobile phone is harmful to me and how I should be studying, but I always brush them off. Ever since my grandmother was discharged from the hospital, I would make an effort to help her and talk to her. Now, I do not lament when she calls me to help her. Our bond is alot stronger now, as I reduce my phone usage to spend time with them. Thus, I feel young people should spend more time with elderly and form many memorable moments together.

I agree to a very large extent. Nowadays, with the advancement of technology, young and old people do not really have the chance to interact. For instance, my grandparents and I live together, so we should be able to interact more. However, I do not really take the time to talk to them. I would go home, lock myself in my room and play games on my mobile phone. The only time my grandparents and I talk is when they lecture me on how harmful my mobile phone is to me. Hence, ever since my grandmother was discharged from the hospital, I would make an effort to help her and talk to her. Surprisingly, our bond grew stronger and now I do not lament when she calls me to help her with something. All in all, I feel we should spend more time with them. They probably feel alone when no one is with them, thus we should spend as much time as possible to form many memorable moments with one another.

# data[].attributes.body
Yes it is meaningful. It is important for the younger generation like us to bond with the pioneers. They are the storybooks of our past. If we do not bond with them now, we would not be able to learn about the stories of the kampung or the games they played. When I was 9, I went to an old folks home. There was a lady there who was very fluent in English. She told me that she didn’t have any education before but learned English from working at a hawker stall near City Hall. After working there for 10 years and hearing faint conversations, she was able to learn some English. There was also another lady who had told me about her kampung days. She was a very cheeky girl. She was never allowed to play with her brothers, which she had 10. She was often tasked to feed the chickens. She would go around her kampung to catch cockroaches then cut them up into small pieces. Then she fed them to the chickens. One day she was so tired of catching cockroaches, she thought she would serve chicken meat to the chickens. I was horrified. She also told me that  she used to play games like playing swords that were made out of sticks tied together and her brothers using them to beat a monitor lizard. Yes it sounded terrible but she explained that they were kids and didn’t know any better.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree to a very large extent.

# data[].attributes.body
The young people can contribute by going to their nearby  care centre and offer an helping hand
They could also donate some of the extra money they have lying around to charitable organization which specialises in providing moral and physical support to the less fortunate elderly.

# data[].attributes.body
I feel like the activity is meaningful as it allows the younger generation to bond with the older generaton. Why it is important to let this bond between the elderly and the young generation to prosper is to allow the younger generation to continue old traditions which have been passed done for many generations.Also,the elderly would be able to give sound advice towards to the young generation with the wisdom they have obtained over the years.

# data[].attributes.body
Some ways young people can contribute is by putting aside some time to spend with their own grandparents and visting the elderly care centre
The elderly in care centres will not have to feel lonely if no one comes to pay them a visit. Our grandparents too will feel sad. I vividly remember a time when my grandmother was in the hospital and one of the elderly sharing her ward told us that she was going to be moved to the elderly care centre not to far away. Her children were too busy to pay her a visit, even when she was in the hospital. I teared up when she said that no one visited her. I was reminded of the times I ignored my grandmother and used my mobile phone even after her countless reminders. Feeling regretful, I told myself that I would take care of my grandmother while she recovered as I do not want her to feel the same way as her ward mate did. Therefore, young people should spend more time with them to help them feel appreciated.

# data[].attributes.body
Yes, I do find this activity meaningful. The picture shows two girls dressed in school uniform playing a game with an elderly woman. I think this visitation is part of their Values-In-Action programme organised by their school. All three of them are smiling and probably enjoying their time with one another. If I had the opportunity, I would definitely go for it. It would be an exciting visit as I would be able to interact with them and learn from them. I would be able to learn alot, such as how life was like in the past. It would be beneficial to all of us. We get to learn and befriend some elderly, similarly the elderly will not have to feel lonely as they probably do not have many visitors. Hence, I feel this would be meaningful to all of us.

# data[].attributes.body
Young people can contribute to the well-being of elderly by volunteering their time to pay a visit to elderly care centres. In the point of view of those elderly staying at elderly care centres, they would probably feel sad and miss their family members a lot. By paying a visit to elderly care centres, we can substitute the role of their family members and I believe this would make the elderly feel better as well.
I’ve went to elderly care centres several times, but I vividly remember what exactly happened that one time. I was having a conversation with one of the elderly. She told me about how her family members do not visit her. Tears welled up in her eyes as she talked about it. Listening to her, i was reminded of my grandmother. I rarely spend time with her and often ignore her too. I was guilty after listening to the elderly and made up my mind that i would spend more time with my grandmother. Therefore, young people should try and spend more time with elderly so that the elderly would not feel down all the time, and try to add some happiness to their lives.

# data[].attributes.body
If find the activity meaningful. We get to play games with the elderly and bond with them. I am sure it will be a very memorable experience as not only do you get to bond with them you can also know more about their traditions and past they been through. Not only will it help you know more about different tradition, you will also be able to find out more about what it was like living in the society last time. Further more, you will also get to discover more about singapore a multi-racial country. I personally went to a elderly home before and played games with the elderly. Not only did i had fun but also the elderlies had lots of fun. I also got to know more about the past of singapore and learned alot of new knoewledge there. Therefore in summary, i find the activity in the picture meaningful

# data[].attributes.body
If I were part of the government, I would agree to a large extent that young and old people should spend time together to bond with each other. By doing so, firstly, interaction with young people reduces the chance of dementia for the elderly. When the youth play games and communicate with the elderly, the old people's brain remains active and the risk of developing dementia is reduced. Secondly, I would like to make a point that the elderly are pivotal in keeping the culture of a nation alive by making the younger generation acquainted with their nation's culture. The young people develop a sense of living in harmony and hence Singapore's reputation of being a multi-racial country is not lost.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree that young and elderly should spend time together. In my opinion, I feel that young and elderly these days rarely interact and spend time with one another. For instance, I myself do not spend time with my grandmother too. My grandmother does not stay with me in the same house, therefore already reducing the chances of me having to spend time with my grandmother. In addition to this, my parents are often busy therefore we only get to visit her about once per month. My grandmother also often tell my parents that she misses us a lot and wish to spend more time with us. Therefore, if the young and elderly do not interact, the elderly may feel sad which is not something that we hope for. We should cherish the times we have we them and spend time with them.

# data[].attributes.body
Young people should spend time with the elderly to bond with them by participating in volunteer activities or simply taking care of our grandparents. The elderly love going back in time when they used to play games as young kids. We should pin our ears back when they are fervently recounting intrepid stories stories of their childhood. Therefore, young people listening to their stories and appreciating their experience would bring great joy to the elderly. With these thoughts in mind, I believe that one can see great improvement in the elderly's well-being if we listen to their stories.

# data[].attributes.body
I find the activity in the picture meaningful. As seen in the picture, there are two girls who are playing games with an elderly. The smiles plastered across all their faces probably means that they are having an enjoyable time. In my opinion, I think that they are carrying out their Values In Action project in an elderly care centee. I find this activity meaningful as the elderly there probably feels lonely and bored most of the time, and they definitely miss their family and grandchildren. Being able to interact with the two girls will probably help the elderly in the picture reminisce the times with her grandchildren and will make them feel warm at heart. In addition to this,teenagers our age these days are addicted to electronic devices such as their handphones or laptops, therefore resulting in the fact that they do not spend time with their family members including their grandparents. This will be a great opportunity for them to interact with elderly and maybe even realise that they should spend more time with elderly instead of using electronic devices all the time.

# data[].attributes.body
I do agree, to a large extent, that both the pioneer generation and the youth should spend time together. This is because they, being our pioneer generation, have contributed a lot to the country into the position that it is now and that their surrounding environment has changed, like the latest trending stuff and the infrastructure. Since the young knows more about this changed world, as they have spent most of their lives in the modern world, they should talk to the elderly, like their grandparents, about how the world has changed and how technology has evolved. They can also talk about how different their lives were, how they had fun, made friends, what they ate and also what worldwide problems they faced. The young should also spend more time with the elderly as this interaction may change their views about what the elderly are, and they will also spend lesser time on their digital devices, hence decreasing the risk of worsening of eyesight

# data[].attributes.body
I do agree to a large extent. Nowadays, young people are glued to their electronic devices, constantly looking at the screen whenever they have the chance. Sometimes, young people will not even be aware of the presence of their grandparents in the house. This shows how distracted young people are now. By being distracted, they are spending very little time with their grandparents. When spending quality time with their grandparents, young people can listen to their grandparents' childhood stories and get to know them better. They can also learn more about the past life of their grandparents and see how different they were from the way present. Young people can also teach the elderly on how to operate electronic devices. In this way, young people are helping the elderly keep up with the modern era.

# data[].attributes.body
Yes, I do find the activity in the picture meaningful. In the picture, I see two school girls interacting with an elder lady by playing a game. This activity is probably part of the students' Values-In-Action project as I see other students in the background interacting with the elderly as well. In such projects, the value,' Listening with understanding and empathy' is widely practiced. We must not only view ideas from our own perspective but also perceive elderly's point of view. Patience is also frequently used in this activity as the thinking process of most elderly people gets less efficient as they age. With patience, the elderly as well as the students can enjoy the game without getting frustrated. If I were given an opportunity, I would definitely wish to participate in an activity involving the elderly.

# data[].attributes.body
i agree to a large extend. i think that young people nowadays are often busy with work and are spending lesser and lesser time with their family members. some may not live with their grandparents, yet when they visit their grandparents once a while, they would be constantly on their phones instead of spending time with them. the initial motive of visiting their grandparents is to bond with them, which defeats the main purpose. sometimes, when grandparents try to start conversations with us, some would even throw a tantrum at them. of course, the grandparents would feel upset as there is simply a gap between the two generations. however, they are still our grandparents after all, hence we need to appreciative of them. having simple conversations, can also strengthen the relationship slowly. talking to them may be slightly tougher as they may not have as much knowledge on english. but most importantly, our handphones should not be the barrier between us, its just a form of distraction.

# data[].attributes.body
There are some ways the youth can contribute to the well-being of the elderly. One common way is to visit nursing homes for the aged, where the elderly see nothing but other elderly persons, nurses and the building. In order to spice up their lives, the young can make unexpected visit to the homes, so that it seems that something has appeared out of the blue, which can increase their attention levels for some time. Before the visits, the young can bring some board games or maybe even bring a digital device, like a phone or a laptop, and, during the visit, teach them how to use these items. By doing such visits, not only does this increase their motor skills but it will also improve and broaden their memory as they learn how to use things that they have not used before

# data[].attributes.body
I agree to the large extent ,spending more time together builds better bonds with the young and old people.This is able to bridge the generational gap between the young and old, the young can communicate better with old people.Both can learn something from each other.Young people can listen to the life experiences of the old people and also learn values and principles from the old people-such as our grandparents, the advice provided from the old people are very valuable because they know better from their own life experiences .The young people can teach them the use of modern technology and current trends, so that they can be well-informed  about what is trendy among the young people.Spending more time with each other is able to deepen the ties of the young and elderly people.Personally, it helps to build a great relationship with our grandparents.

# data[].attributes.body
Young people can contribute by volunteering to help out in the nursing homes. They can organise sessions with the elderly. In these sessions, young people can engage with the elderly by playing games or have arts-and-crafts activities where the elderly can make a bracelet out of beads. Young people can also contribute simply by helping out their grandparents with household chores or interact with them instead of being distracted by their own electronic devices. By interacting with their grandparents, young people are building stronger bonds with them as they get to understand them better.

# data[].attributes.body
young people can contribute to the elderly well-being by doing community work by visiting the old folks home during their holidays. just by sharing stories, playing interactive games and communicating with them can make them a lot happier. in many cases, elderly are often left at home alone. they tend to feel lonely and bored. hence by visiting them, they feel accompanied. when they share their personal stories, lending a listening ear would be good too. young people would be able to empathize and not critise them for some of their actions.

# data[].attributes.body
i certainly agree to a large extent that young and old people should spend more time together. well, spending time togther doesn’t necessarily mean going out to amusment parks, etc. it can also mean having a deep conversation with each other. first of all, young people these days, including me, are constantly glued to their screens. our mobile phones are the so called ‘barrier’ that stops us from socialising with the people around us. older people, however, do not own or know how to operate such devices. as a result, they just take a walk or stay at home. wouldn’t it be saddening if you see your grandchildren stuck to their phones every minute in the future? personally, i will be sad too. thus, it is important for the young ones, in this case the grandchildren, to interact with the eldery, in this case the grandparents. this allows the ties between generations to strengthen as well as grow. from my experience, having a deep conversation with my grandparent can really aid in tightening the bonds between the both of us. we really get to understand one another better. such conversations also give the eldery another meaningful reason to continue living in this world.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree to this statement at a large extent. The old people in our lives would be our grandparents. As years pass by, the relationship between a student and his grandparents starts to be distant as they are piled with school work. In contrast, the elders grow old and suffer from diseases with their weak immune system. Thus, they have to take care of themselves. Both parties are busy with their own things without realising that they are distancing from each other. For instance, when I was in primary school, my father brought my siblings and I to our grandparents' house every single weekend. Although we often got bored, we were still entertained by the company. However, since I started secondary school, I don't go to their house as often anymore. I could not find the time to visit them. In my part, I definitely should visit them after school. Spending time with our grandparents or elders makes a bad day turn to a good one. As they have lived more than us, they definitely have more experiences. Small, little things like eating a home cooked meal by my grandmother makes me appreciate my grandparents more. They sacrificed time for our family. We should give something back to them.

# data[].attributes.body
In my opinion, I do find the activity meaningful.  In the picture, I can see two girls, probably from primary school, are grinning from ear to ear while interacting with an elderly woman. I find this 'interacting with the elderly' activity meaningful as this enhances the students communication skills as they are speaking to the elderly. This activity could also be meaningful as this activity can improve the students' Mother Tongue. I got this idea as the elderly woman seems to be a Chinese woman and the students seem to be students who are learning Chinese, hence during their interaction, they can not only improve their grammar but also learn new words in the process

# data[].attributes.body
I strongly agree that young and old people should spend more time together. Old people have experienced a lot of hardships throughout their life so far. They would have by now learnt from their mistakes. The old people can then advice the young ones about the things they should do and the things they should avoid from doing in the future. The young can then also teach the elderly about the modern things that we have now and how they work. This will allow the elderly to understand the modern technology better and will be able to use them for future uses like calling their relatives who are overseas. I feel this will also bring them closer to one another from learning new things from each parties.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree to a large extent as firstly old people have many life experiences that they have been through and learnt many important values from it that they can inculcate onto the young people.The young people can also share their knowledge of modern technology like computer and smartphones.It would be an eye opener for both of them as they would learnt new things and benefit from it.

# data[].attributes.body
I do agree that young people and old people should spend more time together to a large extentas old people face many social problems around loneliness and ageism. Most of them at home feels lonely when their childrens are working and they are left nothing to do at home. By having young people around them, they can keep up with the society and trends. Cooping at home would not allow them to connect with people therefore breaking off contact with the society. At the same time, young people benefits by communicating with them. Young people will train up their patience and can also learn some lifeskills from old people. Thus, time of both parties are spent in a meaningful way .

# data[].attributes.body
i strongly agree that young people should be spending more time with the old people. firstly, our grandparents are getting older each year and the chances of them losing their memory or maybe passing away is getting higher, so we should treasure the moments with our grandparents and spend more time with them before it is too late. secondly, we can learn from their past experiences as our grandparents have faced lots of hardship and through these stories about their past experiences we can learn from them and have a better understanding of what they have gone through in the past. thirdly, our grandparents might feel lonely as we are most likely not spending enough time with them due to the heavy workload we are getting from school and tuition, so we should try our best to find time and talk to them, to try and make them feel less lonely. they may also need us to assist them in any way possible in case of an emergency or anything like that

Elderly experiences emotional satisfaction in relationship with young people. They become more active in many areas of life because of them. Young people can contribute to the well being of the elderly by teaching them a new skill of how to utilise a handphone to keep in contact with the outside world. By teaching them how to use the handphone and the social platform they get to widen their social circle and make more good friends. They would therefore have someone to talk to when they are bored and they could even widen their knowledge through the internet. So, by doing so, their mental well being becomes younger and healthier, and has a more positive attitude towards ageing.

# data[].attributes.body
Young people can start by simple actions such as giving up seats or simply carry their groceries whenever they have difficulties doing so.These actions would give the elderly a sense of belonging instead of making them feel shunned and avoided by the public.Young people can also volunteer to visit a elderly home together with a charity organisation and engage in fun and enjoyable activities to fill the void in their hearts.

# data[].attributes.body
I find the activity meaningful. I see students interacting with an elderly. I guess that it is their school who organised the students to go to the old folks home. I think, from this learing journey, the students could get to know how to be more patient with elderly and be their listening ear.

# data[].attributes.body
from the picture i can infer that this activity was most likely held at an elderly home. elderly people rarely have visitors and this will lead to them feeling a bit lonely as they probably have not seen their relatives in a long time. through this activity the students can interact well with the elderly. hence making them feel less lonely. this will be beneficial to them as the elderly will be able to socialise and talk about their past experiences and the students will be able to learn from them.

# data[].attributes.body
in my opinion, i think that young people will be able to contribute to the well-being of the elderly by doing community service like helping out at an elders’ home. such an activity includes being a good listener, story telling, playing games and many more. this benefits both the elderly as well as the youths. the elderly will have someone to keep them company and chat with instead of being so cooped up and lonely. this way, the elderly wouldn’t get bored or feel unwanted because of their age. going for community service benefits the youths as not only do they get the chance to hone their communication skills, they will also feel a sense of accomplishment for doing something to help the community and in this case, the elderly community. being a good listener is a good skill to pick up in life and through such services, young people will get to improve themselves.

# data[].attributes.body
Young people can contribute to the well-being of the elderly by spending more time with them like talking, playing board games or even just hear them pouring out their feelings due to recent stress. The elderly will feel more emotional as times passes as they will soon see more and more of their loved ones moving on. They would worried about the time that it will be their turn.So, i suggest that young people should spend more quality time with them than on their mobile phones. Talking to them will make them happy and will bring their train of thought away from the worries that they are facing recently.

# data[].attributes.body
Yes i do find the activity meaningful.
Based on the picture , the elderly woman displayed a game set and taught the two students how to play with it, probably in an old folks home. The two girls seem engrossed and interested by the game which they both may not have seen it before. Not only through games, the elderly can share their experiences and some life lessons to take away. personally, spending good quality time with elderly not only will it make them feel accompanied , but also improve the students' communication skills.

From the student point of view, it is a really rare opportunity to have such activities planned for them. in our daily lives, we hardly have any chance to interact with an elderly, hence this activity will enable students to communicate with precision.

# data[].attributes.body
Young people can start by simple actions such as giving up their seats for an elderly or carry their groceries for them when they have difficulties.Such actions give the elderly a sense of belonging to instead of making them fee shunned of Avoided by the public.Young people can also volunteer in charity organisations to visit the old folks home and engage in fun and enjoyable activities together with the elderly.This would strengthen the bonds between the them and comfort their loneliness.

As young people we should spare some of our time to doing something as simple as talking with the elderly. The elderly then will have someone to talk with and won't feel lonely.This helps to develop a relationship with the elderly.They will not be left out in conversations and know someone will lend them a listening ear to their stories.Alternatively, we could participate in events that involve the elderly like visiting an elderly home.I recall in primary school where we had to visit an elderly home.We had prepared some activities for the elderly.Everything went smoothly and we were actively conversing with the elderly.Everyone had enjoyed themselves. Although we were sad that our time there was brief, it was very memorable.The visit helped with our social skills.This is how young people can contribute to the well-being of the elderly.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree completely that the young people should take time or spend quality time with their grandparents. Since our grandparents are getting older and older each year we grew up,we should actually take the opportunity to spend time with them more before they actually cannot remember you or lose some of their abilities.For instance, since I started primary school,the chances of me spending time with my grandmother decreased due to homework and tests.Over the next few years, my grandmother had gotten a disease(  Alzheimr's disease)and had forgotten all our names and treated my parents and I as strangers.I felt sad since my beloved grandmother had forgotten me and refused to even speak to me.Hence,through the personal example that I had given,I really believe that we should spend more time with our grandparents despite us having many tests and exams.To be honest,thinking back about my grandmother,I actually regretted not spending too much time with her.

# data[].attributes.body
yes i do find this activity meaningful. there are two girls sitting beside an elderly lady. they are all grinning from ear to ear, having fun playing the board game. this activity will help the elderly lady as the elderly lady will interact with the students and have fun. this board game will not only spread joy to the people there but it will also teach the students key values which can be applied to real life situations such as communication, the students will learn to communicate well with other people through this activity with the elderly lady.

# data[].attributes.body
I would find the acitivity in the picture meaningful as it could not only teach hs to appreciate the pionner generation and their contribution to the nation’s growth but also to get a deeper understanding of the elderly .Nowadays the elderly is getting sent to an old folks home as their children thk of them as financial and physical burdens.This makes them feel lonely and helpless as they are forced to stay in old folks homes.However we can change their mentality and show them that there are strangers that care about them.

# data[].attributes.body
Personally, I very strongly agree that we should spend more time with the elderly. Being raised up by my grandmother since I was born, I have grown a strong attachment to her. But due to the workload in school and countless distractions that are dragging our relationship apart, we are no longer as close as we were compared to the past. Now that she is old and her immune system has started to slow down, the amount of time we have together is slowly lessening. Hence, my point is we should spend as much time as we can with them and appreciate them more before there is no longer any chances left.

# data[].attributes.body
Yes, i do find the activity meaningful. Based on the picture, i can see that the students were having fun with the elderly. This shows that they had spent a good time together. These days, teenagers have been avoiding from trying to make any sort of interaction with their elderly as teenagers felt that talking to them are boring and that spending their time on their mobile phone is way better. I personally feel that this is not always true as elderly too have interesting story to share from their past. As time past, children will grow up and have a family of their own. Playing games with the elderly will not make them feel lonely anymore. I feel more students should do this in the future.

# data[].attributes.body
yes, i do find the activity in the picture meaningful. many of us teenagers are so busy with our lives that we sometimes don’t even have the time to spare for our own family members. seeing the girls spend an afternoon which could be used for resting to accompany the grandma for a game simply touches my heart. i personally would not be able to set aside my time to serve the elderly community, but these girls ok the other hand has set an excellent role model for us teenagers to follow. also, the game allows the grandma to work her brain, which benefits her since she gets to use her knowledge without the need of doing hard labour.

Young people can contribute to the well-being of the elderly by taking part in events and activities which involves the elderly. As of today, the grassroots organisations in each estate of Singapore organises a lot of events such as festivals, marathons and more. We can help out by getting involved in the activities which cater to the elderly's needs. People's Associations (PA) actually offers anyone to be a volunteer in its organisation. I strongly believe that young people should volunteer and be a part of these activities as they are given the opportunity to create experiences and develop new skills. I used to do volunteering work with my friends. We aided in giving out food to homes of the elders. Although it was a tiring task, I was satisfied with it as I was able to see the joy on their faces when they received the food hampers. I felt a great sense of accomplishment through volunteering works.

# data[].attributes.body
I strongly agree that young and old people should spend more time together. I feel that we should spend as much time as possible with them because they have knowledge of the past and much more for us to learn from them. Since they aged and cannot walk about that much, we will have to help them do more things to prevent them from getting injured as they can be very fragile and bones might break because of a simple fall. If they have anything to do that requires help, we can also assist them easily.

# data[].attributes.body
I think the young people can contribute to the well-being of the elderly by just spending time more time with them. I feel that just by spending time with our grandparents, we can make them happy and at the same time bond  with them so that our relationship with them will be better. If we can spend more time with them, they will not feel lonely or have to go to the old folk’s home where they will have to do nothing there until nighttime when their families come to pick them up. Some elderly might even get depression when left alone in an old folk’s home or at home without their families and loved ones, this will be very unhealthy for them and it will be even more difficult for us to take care of them.

Yes, I do. The picture shows two students engaging with an elderly woman. They are all participating in a game actively. The broaden smiles on their faces tells me that they are enjoying themselves a lot. This bonding time is beneficial for the elderly as most of the time, they are cooped up in their room with little activity. By engaging with the elderly lady, the students are enlightening her mood. Personally, I have experienced such an event before. During one of my CCA days, we went to volunteer in an old folks home. We set up many interactive and simple activities for the elderly. While participating in those activities we could see that many of the elderly were elated. I felt heartened seeing the elderly enjoying themselves.

I strongly agree that the young and elderly should interact with each other. Elderly, being our grandparent or relatives or neighbours, they would have encountered many issues and know more about the world , the society 见多识广and could guide us when we are lacking of direction in our live. Or maybe, in our difficult times, our grandparents could even give us some solutions on how to solve them. We could also talk to them and hear them share stories. From stories, we can gain knowledge and even learn values. From our grandparents , we could also get to know more about our past or family history.

Yes I find it very meaningful. The students can be seen playing games with the elderly, this is beneficial to the elderly as well because playing games can prevent them from getting dementia. Spending more time with the elderly is good as we can communicate with them more and understand what their lives are like daily as many elderly are put in the old folk’s home because there is no one to take care of them. They will definitely feel bored and lonely as they are without their families, so playing games with them can make them happier.

Personally I think that youngsters like us could start communicating with them better than just leaving them out because they are not up to time. This would then let both parties understand each other better and from there we can start building rapport with each other. Secondly, we could start teaching them how the mordern technology works. With most of our everyday lives revolving around technology, the elders might feel left out as they are not able to understand how far technology has come.

# data[].attributes.body
i agree to a large extent that we should spend more time with the elderly. nowadays, students don’t spend as much time with their grandparents compared to last time. it might be due to how busy they are in school and how much work they have. their grandparents might think that they are purposely ignoring them and acting like that on purpose but it is simply that we do not know how to manage our time. if we manage our time, we might be able to spend more time with our grandparents. the elderly are quite old already and they might be leaving the world anytime so we must spend our time with them. they would want to know what is happening with you right now and they would want to care about you. i agree very strongly that the young should spend more with the elderly.

# data[].attributes.body
Yes I do find it meaningful. Due to the hustle and bustle of our everyday lives whether we are teenagers or adults, we get carried away with what we are doing and often forget where our roots were. It was the pioneer generation who paved the way for us now and yet we do not appreciate them enough. Hence I conclude by saying that being able to bond with the elderly is indeed meaningful.

# data[].attributes.body
I believe that young people can contribute to the well-being of the elderly.I have two main ideas on how young people can contribute to the well-being of the elderly. firstly,regularly visiting and effectively communicating with them. By doing so,the elderly would feel more included in the lives of us teenagers/young people and would not feel lonely or left out.For example,interacting with the elderly would allow us to know the needs of them and to understand them more.Secondly,,we can also contribute to the well-being of the elderly by giving them a hand phone and teach them how to use it.By doing so,they could feel more engage in our everyday life since most of us nowadays have a phone.For example,we could help them to create a group with their children and grandchildren inside,so that they could actually video call their children which I believe would allow them to feel more comfort in the the event that they miss their children or their children don't live with them anymore.In conclusion,I think that young people can spend time with the elderly so as to understand them better or that they can teach the elderly how to use electronic devices such as smart phone so that they can communicate or video call their children any time.

# data[].attributes.body
If u ask me, I would definitely say that to a large extend, would agree to us bonding with our grandparents. The reason for saying that is because being us as their grandkids, they would want to know if we are still healthy and fit, whether we are able to cope with our studies, if we have committed any bad doings, etc. If we decide to ignore them and do something else, they will be upset, and that they will think that we do not care about them anymore, and that they do not longer matter to us, but we all know this is not the case. We may decline due to the fact that we are busy with our work or may be busy at that certain period of time. So, if we have the time and will, we can communicate with them and share with them what we are feeling, to let them know that ignoring them was not intentional. Plus, their days are numbered,they will not have that much time left, so we have to make the most out of it, so they would feel glad and respected,before their passing

# data[].attributes.body
I agree to a large extent that young and old people should spend more time together. The elderly as seniors, will be able to understand the young people more and share their experiences or stories with them, as well as giving advices that will help the young people. The young people will also be able to learn valuable life values that can be used in different situations.  The young people will be able to help the elderly to improve their skills like sending e-mails to another person. The elderly can learn how to use new technologies through the guidance of young people. Through spending more time together,it increases optimism and positivity in the elderly while young people learn how to care and respect their elders. These will improve the community health and build a more harmonious society.

Us young students can be able to contribute to the wellbeing of the elderly by teaching them some technological skills, such as how to operate the computer, how to use a smartphone, how to use anything that requires teaching. This is due to the fact that we have lots of experience in operating these electronics, and that we have gotten very used to them, and some of them have become our source of information or entertainment, such as our mobile phones, the laptop or computer. If we are able to teach the elderly on these type of things, they would be able to better communicate with us, using their smart phones to call or text whenever there is a need to do so. This is because I have personally done this before to my grandparents, by teaching how go use their smartphones, and making sure they are not being scammed of anything, making sure to have their apps working well, as they may occasionally press the wrong button and disable something on accident.

yes,I find the activity in the picture meaningful since the students are able to spend quality time with the elderly by interacting and playing games with them. As many elderly in Singapore live alone, they often feel lonely since their children are often busy with their work and family of their own.For instance,I once went with my church to a nursing home to perform and interact with the elderly,after the performance and time spent with them,I could see that their faces are filled with joy and happiness.Hence,I would find the activity in the picture a meaningful one.

# data[].attributes.body
the young people might be able to teach the elderly computer application skills. since most teenagers have a phone now and that most teenagers know how to use it, they can teach the skills they learnt to the elderly. since the elderly are from an older generation, most of them might not use a phone. teenagers can teach them how to message their loved ones, make a call to their family members and maybe even teach an elderly how to play a game! an elderly might be quite lonely in the home too so if a person comes and visit them, they will be very happy. personally, i went to visit and elderly before. it was for my school Values-In-Action (VIA) project. our class was buzzing in excitement as it will be our first time going to an elderly home as a class. we went to the home and taught the elderly how to use a phone. many of them have a phone but they did not know how to use it. by the end of our visit, they were very glad that we visited them. they knew how to handle a phone better and they can now get to talk to their loved ones. seeing the expression on their faces before we left was very surprising. we did not expect the elderly to like us so much. i would think that the elderly wellbeing is very important.

# data[].attributes.body
Young people can contribute by volunteering themselves to clean the old folk's home so that the elderly will have a clean environment to live in. Other than that, they can interact with the elderly or entertain them with some games. They can also put up a performance for the elderly to enjoy. These will benefit the well-being of the elderly as they will forge new friendships, and also imrove their social skills such as communication.

# data[].attributes.body
I do find the activity in the picture meaningful as the students are playing games with the elderly and enjoying themselves. As shown from the picture , they were happily interacting with the elderly, having no generation gaps. Through this activity, students get to further learn how to relate with people around them and also get to exhibit the value of empathy towards others.The activity above is very similar to the Values in action (VIA) that Is done in school.Students are able to take their minds off studies during the activity and at the same time do a good deed. Most of the time, the elderly has to spend time alone as their children will be working. Thus making it meaningful as elderly would have companions to accompany them that day. Making the activity a meaningful one as both the elderly and the students benefited from it .

# data[].attributes.body
I find the activity in the picture meaningful as the picture depicts two students and an elderly doing an activity together.The 3 of them seem to be enjoying themselves.Both the students are interacting with the elderly so that the elderly does not feel left out of the activity.I feel this is good for me and the elderly because I can improve my communication with the elderly.Playing board games help with the elderly who might feel bored and lonely,maybe the elderly does not know how to use technology thus they have limited options for entertainment.Interacting with the elderly through the use of card and board games will remove the feeling of being alone and give way for building relationships with the students.That is why I find the activity in the picture meaningful.

# data[].attributes.body
Yes, i do find the activity in the picture meaningful. This is because as shown in the picture, the 2 students and an elderly look like they are having fun as they are smiling. I think that this is a school-organised event as the students are wearing uniform, so i think it is meaningful for them to help out, communicate and play some games with the elderly.

# data[].attributes.body
Yes, I do find that that the activity in the picture shown is meaningful. In the picture, it shows two students and an elderly woman playing a game together. Judging by the smiles on their faces, I can tell that they are enjoying the activity. From the perspective of the students', it is meaningful as they are able to interact with the pioneer generation - not only through the game, but also through conversations. They would be able to communicate with the elderly and perhaps find out more about them. Furthermore, the students will be able develop communication skills as they are speaking to people whom they have not met before. As time passes, they would definitely overcome their fear of speaking with strangers thus, gaining a new skill.

In the elders' view, the activity would be meaningful as they would have someone to talk to. In most cases, elderly people live at home by themselves with no one to care for them. Hence, they will feel isolated and lonely at home. With this type of activity, the elders will be entertained. In addition, the usage of games like the one shown in the picture enables the elders' minds to be active. With their old age, some could be suffering from dementia. Games will make them think and stimulate the brain. Thus, I believe that activities like this are meaningful.

# data[].attributes.body
I would fine that this activity is meaningful as most of the elderly would be lonely or alone, maybe because the fact that their children are too busy or forgot to come around to visit them once in a while. By the happy and smiling faces of both the students and the old lady, I can see that they enjoy playing board game a lot. This can also help them as they can play these types of games to help them pass the time instead of sitting around all day with no clue what to do. Personally, I know this as I have my grandparents living in a flat, and occasionally I would go to their house to visit them and try to not their day very boring, such as by talking to them about my studies, what we have heard in the news, how they are feeling right now, etc.

# data[].attributes.body
Yes, I would the activity in the picture, volunteering at an old folk's home, meaningful. It is because I get to spend time to make the elderly staying at the home happier. The elderly there usually live boring lives and play games or simply chatting with them would make them much happier. Seeing the smile on their faces warms my heart. I would get to learn many things from them by simply chatting with them, such as life in the kampongs and life lessons. Playing games with them that requires some brainpower, like Chinese chess would train my mind to think flexibly and make me better at the game. Plus, I would get VIA hours if this is an VIA program. In conclusion, volunteering at an old folk's home is very beneficial and very meaningful .

# data[].attributes.body
I find that the activity in the picture is very meaningful. I can see through the smiles on their faces that the two students and the elderly are enjoying the game placed in front of them. This activity improves the elderly's brain function, as well as their skills. Not only that, it bridges the generation gap between the young and old. The bonding, caring and sharing of their skills and stories will give a meaning and a sense of purpose in the elderly's life.

# data[].attributes.body
yes, i find this activity very meaningful. this picture shows teenagers socialising with an elderly, most probably in an elderly’s home. all three of them looks like they are having fun. to get teenagers to socialise with an elderly is very hard, even if it is for a project. nowadays, people normally don’t go and visit elderly people because they might think that it might not be something that matters to them. to see teenagers visiting an elderly like this, the elderly must has find this very meaningful and happy. the elderly normally don’t get visitors like this and when a person visits them, they will get very happy. i think these teenagers are doing a very meaningful activity with the elderly.

# data[].attributes.body
Contributing to the well-being of the elderly is not difficult. Young people can make a group or something and organise some activities for the elderly. Example of some activities would be like board games and some simple exercises. Board games will enable them to use their brain more for thinking so they will not get amnesia as they are getting older. Simple exercises can help them to build their body and improve their immue system to fight against illness. During this time, everyone can also communicate and chat with one another to build better relation.

I personally feel that the younger people could actually make an effort to communicate to the elderly more often.If we know that they encounter any problems we could help to assist as they might be at a loss, and they will feel more rest assured.If not they had nobody to turn to and we are the only that could actually help them.In order to care for their well-being, we should not just give them money. Our job does not end by just merely giving them money.It is the thought that counts, we should just put in a little bit more effort and they will be more appreciative of that rather than giving them money. We should also try to communicate with them more often so they will not feel so lonely.

Young people can contribute to the well being of the elderly by spending more time with their grandparents or any of the elderly in the community u may think is friendly or already an acquaintance to you. The young can also contribute by donating funds to the government health care services to improve the daily lifestyle and convince of the elderly by improving technology. Furthermore they can also donate to the old folks home by not only donating cash but also spending their time there. They can play games with them in order to keep their minds active and lively.

Young people can contribute to the well-being of the elderly by working harder at their jobs and bringing the Singapore economy up, so the government can spend more money on improving healthcare services for the elderly and constructing more elderly-friendly home with elderly friendly feature such as, a help button that calls the help of a medical professional when they require medical assistance built in throughout the home, sensors andcameras outfitted thoughout the home to be monitored by their family member to ensure their safety throughout. Young people can also contribute to the well being of the elderly in old folks home by donating to the old folks homes. Young people can also vote for the construction of more elderly exercise corners in their neighbourhood to ensure that the elderly stay fit

In my opinion, I strongly agree that young people should spend more time with old people. As Singapore has an ageing population, there would in the future be more old people than young people. I believe we , young people should value the elderly's hardwork to bring us to where we are now, from Singapore being a third world country to a first world country. We would not live such good lives of not for the work of our elders. We in return should repay their hardwork by not leaving then to live a life of solitude or leave them in a nursing home but bring joy to their lives by spending time with them and making them laugh.

# data[].attributes.body
In my opinion, I strongly agree that young people should spend more time with the elderly. We live in a society where there is a high aging population and thus being able to see them around us all the time.Our country has come this far because of the efforts put in by them and we should recognised their hardwork by taking care of them while spending time with them.Besides that, it also helps to closen the generation gap between the elderly and the young people.All they need is just someone who could provide them with a listening ear to listen to their stories and provide them with comfort, resulting them in feeling a sense of security.Recently, I have went to a elderly home for a VIA project.It was a meaningful activity as we could get to really get the time to know more about their past and understand them better, knowing what they do differently from the current generation.This could also be a way where we get to spend time with them.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree that young people should spend more time with elderly. This is because some of the elderly just keep on staying at home and watch tv all day long. This can every boring. While the elderly are at home watching tv, the adults and children are either at school or at work. So they will be spending the entire day at home alone with no one to talk to. As this goes on, their life will get very boring. So I think that the younger ones should spend more time with them.
