Would You Like to Live to Be 100 Years Old?
This is a question that I've asked myself many times, and right now I think the answer is no. But this may be because I am very young and I can't imagine myself at that age. Nowadays, there are lots of old people that have a very nice life. If you go to Benidorm, you can find lots of them swimming in the beach, going for long walks, and dancing at night. Those people have worked all their lives and now it's their time to enjoy life. However, you have to be healthy to do all those things. My grandma, for example, is 98 years old and has a wonderful life. Now she doesn't travel, but she did until about 2 years ago.
I would like to be like her and have a life like hers. That would be nice, but if I were sick and unable to do anything, I wouldn't like to live 100 years old because it would be a problem for my family.
