3) Sample dialogue:
A: I think most grandparents should live with their children and help look after the grandchildren.
B: I partly agree, but I don’t think it is necessary in every family. Many grandparents want to live independently.
A: But children often need help, and grandparents can be very useful.
B: That’s true, but grandparents also need their own life, hobbies and rest. They shouldn’t be forced to take care of children full-time.
A: I see your point. Maybe it is best when families help each other, but everyone keeps some independence.
